Depressed and house chores
How do I do it. I’m not totally crippled by depression but, I have a hard time doing the deep cleanZ I can up keep with dishes and cooking - usually. Laundry is slow but gets done, my toilet bowl gets cleaned. But the shower, the baseboards, my mud room is dirty, and I mean embarrassingly dirty. And when I get up to doing a small wipe down here and there, I have to do it again within a day or two I can never get ahead.
I’ve got myself to exercise every morning and that helps be motivated, but after a few days, I need a “break” or after I cook myself lunch and wash dishes I feel I’ve done a lot and don’t clean for hours. Then I may fold laundry.. I can never get to organizing or wiping cupboards thy accumulate dust... I feel overwhelmed and not sure how to get myself to cleaning more. How do you do it. I will be good for a week or two and slump back into my lazy depressive mindset “you’ve done a lot, you can take it easy”
Or is there ever taking it easy?
It’s funny because I’m such an energetic person, but when I’m home I just can’t find myself to want to clean. At work? I’m spotless. Go figure. I think the mess is making the depression worse & not being able to upkeep at a good pace..
I’ve had spoken to someone and it wasn’t helping. Meds I don’t believe in(for myself that is) . I’ve been suicidal type depressed before and I’ve gotten myself out of that slump. I have the will power to be better im just not sure where to start. How to find a nice routine that works. Nothing seems to trick myself into doing it. I get lazy. Maybe I’m just that lazy ☹️
