You’re not wrong for thinking “how do people live in such conditions”
You’re human and curiosity gets the better of us, especially in circumstances you’ve never endured
The person you think the above about, probably thinks “how do they live such a normal life and do normal things with ease” about you
A person living in built up conditions is nearly always suffering from physical health conditions, poor mental health, addiction, trauma of some kind and that’s why they live in such conditions
For example, a person suffering with trauma, or post traumatic stress disorder spends up to 70% of their waking hours suffering on set symptoms such as:
• Nightmares
• Intrusive thoughts
• Flashbacks
• Physical symptoms like shaking, looking out, sweating, panic attacks
For complex cases, the 70% can turn to 100%
That in itself is more emotionally draining than any job, daily tidy up, school runs etc, so for the time they may aware, and in some kind of state, the house work probably doesn’t even cross their mind
Sadly, housework doesn’t stop and when cases like this go on for 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years and so on, it quite easily builds into unsanitary conditions that to someone else are unimaginable, but to that person, are what they’ve always known or been able to manage
Our team have decades of experience amongst us in working around vulnerable people, in conditions that are incredibly heart wrenching
🫶🏼 We will never pass judgement
🫶🏼 We always provide empathy and understanding
🫶🏼 We believe in humanity
I could personally walk out of a meeting with a drug user and their social worker to quote an extreme hazardous deep clean and walk straight in to a multi million pound new build home to quote a renovation clean and neither one of those people would mean more than the other
We are all human, we all have our struggles and we can all make the world a better place by showing a bit of kindness ❤️
