being bipolarII , i understand not feeling like cleaning up. when i have a big low period, it's all i can do to feed my pets. i used to have a place for everything and everything in it's place. as my disease progressed, i didn't have the motivation to do that. plus, i live alone now..and i'm really, really good at isolating.

as for making him less depressed, if you cleaned...i doubt it. it's his apartment and he's grown. good luck, pat
