When I'm not on medication (I've been on Prozac and just recently stopped taking Zoloft cold-turkey), I am easily irritated and the littlest things can set me off. Usually it's stuff I have little to no control over. Other people never cease to piss me off, either on the street or on the news, and I fly into a rage the minute I find someone who will listen to me vent (good thing I don't have kids!). This has been a common pattern since I was a teenager, and the only times I'm more mellowed out and patient is when I'm on medication. It could just be how the depression manifests itself, unless there's something else at play that hasn't been diagnosed.
I hear you on keeping the house clean. I just moved to a small shoebox apartment with carpet, so I've had to devote more time to cleaning as well, otherwise the place will become filthy right away. It's a pain in the ***, but I like to think of it as a distraction from all the b/s going on and revel in the end result.
