Room almost caught on fire last night, get help for depression guys.
I’ve dealt with mental illness my whole life and I even made a brief post talking about my PTSD and DID a few years back on here. My room has been covered in dust for months and my laundry is piled on my bed. I don’t struggle with putting away food or drinks but when it comes to basic cleaning it’s always been a nightmare for me. Last night was a major eye opener for me.
I went to the bathroom and in the 2 minutes I was gone I came back to my room smelling like Asmondgold’s possum seasoned charcoal burnt skirt steak recipe. I checked around the rest of the house, went to smell outside incase someone was burning a fire. It was definitely in my room and it was getting worse. I unplugged everything and discovered that my vents on my tower were COMPLETELY smothered in dust. I knew it had been a while (since I cleaned the outside of the tower) and my computer was really slow- my nightstand and dresser were caked in dust but I just couldn’t bring myself to do anything about it and I was too embarrassed and ashamed to ask for help.
I got to it before it caught fire or any of my alarms went off but if I had just gone to sleep? Who knows. I know this isn’t a wubby themed post but I see a lot of you guys talk about mental health here and I just want to remind everyone it’s okay to ask for help. Your mental health deserves to be taken seriously- it could cost you your life. This computer is from 2016 and it’s the first time I EVER opened it. I’ve been using it every day for the last ten years.
Stay safe chat, get help.
