Beautifully said and so relatable Lisa. I tend to clean when the world feels out of control too. In fact, sometimes it's the only time I clean... small blessings

I appreciate this post so much. It definitely speaks to my impulses as well. I feel like I want to get rid of everything, and I feel the almost self-destructive recklessness behind that feeling.

That's what I should do today, after I go get some exercise. Clean off some fucking surfaces. My house is driving me insane. I've already been madly purging subscriptions this week, something about that also makes me feel better.
