Hi, Turquoisesea!

Here we talk a lot about getting help with our depression. Depression is such a monster that sometimes (often? almost always?) self-help isn't enough. Has your apartment reached the stage of being too messy for you to handle on your own? There's no shame in seeking help to clean it. Your boyfriend would be the obvious first helper, but can you find others? (Or, is this whole suggestion ridiculous because your boyfriend wouldn't want others to see the apartment in its current condition?)

Unfortunately, there's no "Clean Apartment" button next to "Submit Reply" and "Preview Post." I'd use it if it were available. If I were your neighbor and you were to ask, I would help you clean as best I could. I'm sure many of your PC friends would do the same. That would be a cool party!
