Mishka,

Not dumb, but human.

I recommend you go to some stores and get some boxes. Put every bit of the mess that can go into the boxes in there and put them in one corner or one room.

Then start cleaning from one starting point and then clockwise through your house. If its too overwhelming, do just one room at a time. Then when you have the rooms clean sort the first box. Then sort the next box. Be sure to have give away and throw away boxes to get rid of anything that you just don't need to keep.

You will feel better with each room and each box.

The best cure for loneliness is to get out there and live your life caring for other people. I volunteer for a program that takes donations of furniture and then matches the furniture with people in need. There is so much need out there. As Mother Theresa said, we can do no great things, only small things with great love.
