A place to talk about CPTSD.

  1. No diagnosis checking is allowed, If someone says they have it, they have it. It's not your job to dig through someone's medical history. It's invalidating.

  2. None of the very basic isms and phobias. Includes but not limited to racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia.

  3. CW your post if it contains triggering topics. If you have to ask, just use a CW.

Housework has been a longtime struggle for me. Its one of those things that makes overwhelm seem more overwhelming. I have been using a cleaning podcast ~11months. Just throwing it on in and doing what I can when i have the energy to has transformed my confidence in the ability to deal with my space. Even if its just to get started on the essentials. I hope this helps someone

So it's a specific podcast or just a tip to listen to podcast while cleaning? Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚

For everyday general cleaning I listen to "clean with me" season 3.

*note, even if the non cleaning related time filling chat isn't that interesting, the structure of the show helps me to "get things done"

For decluttering/organising I recommend Dana K White on youtube/ her audiobooks.

Now that I have created the habit of cleaning to podcasts I can pop on a general podcast from time to time, but def still use the cleaning podcast weekly and if im in a slump

Ok! I was asking cause I normally listen to Hardcore History while cleaning. The episodes are far and few between so I am keeping an eye out for recommendations. Cleaning themed podcasts won't probably work for me as I try to get rid of my thoughts from the process of cleaning ๐Ÿ˜…

Totally understand. You may already be familiar with this one, but I can recommend the ologies podcast for a fun listen. Also abc australia puts out some great podcsts (https://www.abc.net.au/listen/podcasts/a-z-podcasts). Good luck on your search ๐Ÿ™‚
