I know it's hard, I get behind on laundry something fierce when I'm in a depression. Just know you can do it. If you can get your husband to help great, if not that's okay too but don't stress yourself out too much. I notice that I throw a lot away when I finally clean after letting things get bad. If I don't use it I let it go,it frees up a lot of space and helps making the rest of the place clean easier.

If you have a lot of clutter get a few different boxes and sort items by what rooms you're moving things to or what you can neatly tuck away in storage. The hardest part is getting everything rounded up and organized, once you have that out of the way the dusting/wiping/sweeping is a breeze.

I know it's tough, but you can do it. I've noticed that pleasant sounds and smells help me get in the cleaning mood. Like, I'll buy a candle in my favorite scent, light it, and once the room smells good I kind of want it to look as cozy as it smells. Listen to your favorite music, it will help get the ball rolling. Another thing that helps me is getting a small decoration that I can put up after I'm finished, like a small wall decoration or even some candles for the counter. Move some decorations around to make it feel like you're changing the room completely. It really helps me feel 'refreshed' and like the cleaning is worth it, like you've revamped your home. A change of scenery can really help.with depression.

Wishing you the best. Hugs!
