That sounds horrible Rosegirl! Do you need this roommate to make ends meet or could you do without? It's crappy that you feel you have to hide out in your own house. I've felt like that before when people have stayed with us during one of my depressions, and it sucks. It would be even worse having to keep a two year old confined with you.

As for the housework... Can you go into survival mode and prioritize? Determine the absolute minimum amount for the duration of your depression?

Keeping counters clean so you make prepare food might be a priority, but dusting could probably wait... Figure out the things you can let go of for now.

I hope things get better for you soon...
