This is a question Personal Hygiene

There comes a point at which your hygiene becomes less your problem and more everyone else's:

My old school nurse never seemed to wash - instead she wrapped herself in crepe bandages from the first aid kits. The smell was beyond pungent. If you got ill at school, it was better to suffer than try and explain symptoms whilst only breathing out.

When she was eventually 'let go',they had to strip the wallpaper in her office to get rid of the lingering odour.

How scuzzy have you got? Or, failing that, how bad have people you know got?

it's me *sob*
I'm so ashamed, but Christ. I know basically everyone says their room is messy, but mine is BAD. I can't see the floor, it's not covered with "clean" junk like clothes and such. It's all trash, basically.

Usually when I clean my room (once every several months) I have to bring in a bucket to pour all the half-consumed cans of diet soda into. Many of these have formed mysterious gelatinous lumps in them.

I've had many mishaps with rotted food. Like the bag of grapes I misplaced and found about three weeks later, and put me off wine forever. Also the near-empty orange juice bottle which was swollen from the fermentation. I foolishly tried to open it and the cap shot off and dented the wall. Every time I sit down on my floor(when it's clean) I start coughing and wheezing and my nose starts running because of the mold that's likely under the carpet.

Pretty much, I have a problem. A really bad, utterly disgusting, painful, almost crippling one. Not to mention a seriously shameful secret. I think due to my depression, general laziness and not being taught properly how to clean up after myself. It's actually a legitimate psychological problem, too. Look up compulsive hoarding. I'm getting help though, so hurray.
