Wait a minute here, Melanie. If your home looks like "a cyclone has hit" it's not living up to any kind of Feng Shui principles I know about. How could you sleep on an island surrounded by chaos? I couldn't. But again, whatever needs to be done, approach it gradually so you can maintain the new way. I remember Fly Lady. I learned about her in a limo on the way to the airport from Sierra Tuscon - the eating disorder inpatient treatment center I talk about in Healing Your Hungry Heart. Why not review some of those tips? You could start with throw outs (or donations to your local gift shop). Can you go through your home and sort out 17 things? You may have to pick one task from Fly Lady and do it until it feels normal. Then add another. Whatever you choose, the first step, no matter how simple and easy, will be a challenge you need to face because that first step is the beginning of change.
