MDJunction to me

liamacker"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)

We have so far worked on getting the habit with small daily tasks. We have had many success stories here. But what about the deep cleaning? Eventially, the entire house will need a good clean. We cant except just livining in a filthy and messy house for the rest of our lives.

Whats your thoughts on it?

My plan is to clean it to my best ability, one step at a time. Then when its as clean as I can possibly get it, I'm calling my old cleaning team in and will happily pay them to get it spotless.

For my tub and shower I use the Scrubbing Bubbles that cleans for about 4 days after one spraying. I have a handheld shower head and just use that to rinse away the soap. If I spray once a week, it keeps it pretty clean.

I don't know why, but I'm not getting notifications from any of my groups I belong to, including the one I'm a group leader for.

I usually only worry about deep-cleaning two rooms, the bathroom and the kitchen. I split it up by doing one thing like cleaning the toilet bowl and then spray the outside of the toilet and let it sit for about half an hour and then clean that. Then I wait a while and move on to the sink. It takes me all day to do it this way but I don't feel so overwhelmed by how much there is to do.

Kelti until you have the umph to attack it head on why not just do a little each time you go in.

Next time you have to use the room do the toilet rim, time after that do the bowl, next time the bottom...etc. Little pieces each time you are going into do your biz'

Maybe same for the shower. While you shower, scrub part of a wall or the faucets. Move onto the next piece at the next shower. A week or so of showering and you will have a clean tub/shower.
