To be honest I have no idea if this is a common BPD thing or not but I figured I'd ask here because I might actually get a helpful answer instead of "just don't" or "wtf is wrong with you" ... So has anyone with this problem ever found motivation or techniques or whatever to improve? 

I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me, any living space I occupy degenerates into chaos. I don't leave dirty dishes or food scraps or anything gross, there's no infestations and my personal hygiene is fine but people are shocked if they see how I live. My boyfriend is always on me how bad it is but the sad part is he usually sees it \*after\* I've attempted to clean... Like yeah it still kinda resembles a garbage dump in the slums of Mumbai but I took out 2 bags of trash, mopped the floor and cleaned up some fossilized cat puke so I consider it a productive day.

I think I have some hoarding tendencies (I hoard food and booze) but I'm getting that under control for the most part, the main problem is just everything is fucking everywhere all the time and I don't even know how it happens. Lots of half finished projects I haven't found motivation to work on, unopened mail, paperwork I don't do anything about until like 2 days before facing legal consequences, that sort of thing.

Tomorrow I'll make an attempt to box up some shit that's in decent enough shape to donate and try to make a dent in the pile of unopened mail overtaking my desk but I don't know what else to do
