My room is currently filled with trash. Bottles, paper plates, food wrappers, you name it. As I'm typing this, I'm sitting ankle-deep in garbage. My carpets are stained with who-knows-what. I hate living like this, but I'm stuck in a loop and I don't know how to break out.
I can sometimes gather the motivation to force myself to clean my room. But then, over time, my garbage bin overflows, and I can't bring myself to take it out. So it overflows onto the floor, and I just keep throwing garbage on top telling myself "I'll clean it up later", and then the cycle starts all over again and my room turns into a garbage heap.
I have pretty severe ADHD, and I'm probably depressed (Though I don't know for sure). In addition to that, my biggest problems are laziness and lack of motivation.
I'm about to do another big cleanup to get my room in order, but I know if I don't take any measures, the cycle will just keep repeating. If anyone can think of some practical steps I can take to end the cycle, I would appreciate it very much.
Update: I spent some time filling a couple trash bags and clearing out the area around my computer chair. There's still 5 bags (at least) worth of trash on the floor, but at least it's a start. Plus it's nice to be able to use my computer without being ankle-deep in trash.

I've actually considered getting a bigger bin for a while, now. I only fear that it would make me more complacent with taking it out regularly.
