Yes, your mental health can even be related to the way you deal with the organization inside the house.
First, we must understand that nothing in our life is stable and perfect. Considering that our home is exactly a mirror of how we deal with life, studies reveal that the way you maintain your home can be a sign of health or illness.
A question needs to be put on the agenda. It's okay to leave the room disorganized if we're running late or simply leave the dirty dishes in the sink, after a party with friends, because I was too lazy to wash that time. These factors say nothing about your mental health.
So when does disorganization become an issue?
It is cause for concern when the act of not organizing things starts to disturb the person and the others who live with him.
This excess of disorganization is one of the main signs that the person's life is also out of control. And, to prove this, it's easy to see that, in addition to the house, financial life, food, alcohol consumption, everything is off the axis.
What are the main mental issues involved?
Behind all this disorganization, we can identify some mental issues, such as: low self-esteem, difficulty concentrating, lack of motivation and depression. But, remember, disorganized house is not always synonymous with depressive acts.
And when the house is very organized?
We must point out that this is not a super clean house, but an overdose / obsession with cleanliness and organization. Indeed, putting yourself into action to get your house in order can relieve stress and anxiety. However, we cannot let this practice become a support to camouflage bigger problems.
