Clutter

I don't know where to start. I fear that I'm coming close to saying that I
have a hoarding problem. I have so much stuff piled up around my tiny little
apartment, it's hard to move. There is one little path from my bedroom door
to my bed. If you want to get to the bathroom or my closest from my bed,
you've got to step on a whole pile of stuff. Both my windows in my bedroom
are broken, but I can't call maintenance because there is so much junk piled
up in front, you can't get to them. I had just enough room to get the one
open. It was sort of stuck open most of the summer. Since when it rains, it
comes right in those windows, I had to shut the storm window and leave the
actual window up in fear that I wouldn't be able to get it opened again. Now
that I've closed the windows for the season, I'm glad I kept that one
opened. I could barely get it down. Once it was down, I attempted to get it
back up. It won't budge. I guess I have the winter to get my room in gear so
maintenance can get to the windows.

The only place I keep relatively clear is my "living room." Right behind my
sofa is my computer/crafting area. This is a complete mess. There are
magazines, crafting supplies, shoes and other stuff. It's getting to the
point that that I can barely get to my chair at my computer.

I know all this is a problem and it's going to lead to this situation
getting worse. I've got a 4 day weekend and my one goal was to clean one
small area. I choose my kitchen. I was going to do it this morning. I got
the dishes in the dishwasher, but looking at the rest, I don't know where to
start. This is getting out of control. It's making me more pissed and
depressed. I can't find anything. I lose stuff at the drop of a hat because
my place is so cluttered. I need help and I don't know where to turn.
