I still have problems

1. Whenever I get upset/depressed/overwhelmed I cannot do housework. Why is that?  No idea. I'm trying to work through it but it's as if housework is like 20 times harder to do during these off times. Right now is one of those times. I told myself over and over I have to do my daily tasks at least, and I did do my dishes, but I doubt anything more will get done today.
2. I think that I'm not 'hoarding' it if it has a place to go. See this thing:

I think I've had this thing for over 3 years. But it had a spot. So it wasn't in anyone's way. And I could use it one day, so I thought it still held value. But I never did use it, but I also never threw it out. I kind of assume that if it has 'a place to go' then it's okay to hold on to it. This can't go on. I have to learn that even though it's not on a pile on the floor that it's still junk. Anyway, I saw it today and I realized how old it was and just had that thought to myself, 'why am I still holding on to this?'

I still have a lot of progress to make. It's okay though. I have to remind myself that it's okay. That this is about the progress, not about what I didn't do, or what still needs to happen. Before I probably would have thought about how old this was and left it there. That's progress!
