I go through depressions, most of the time, and find it very difficult to NOT let my house get filthy. I can't find the energy to throw away the empty soda bottle, or the empty grocery/shopping bags, or pick my clothes up. I won't let anyone at all in my house it is so bad. I am afraid one of the neighbors will call the health department and they'll take away my babies (pets) and force me to move into an assisted living facility.
My therapist says I should set a very small goal toward cleaning just one thing at a time, and set up a reward for myself when it's done. Shoot, I just don't even have any interest in any stupid reward to get the job started. At this point, it's very overwhelming for me. I am Bipolar and Borderline personality disorder, and just find that nothing interests me. NOT even a clean house...... sigh. And right now i don't have the money to hire a cleaning crew. Any suggestions?
