Thank you all for chiming in and making me feel not so alone.

My last roommate and I, we were friends before we were roommates for awhile, was totally OCD **** about cleaning. I mean, I literally thought she should see a T because of it. And that did not mesh well with my depression and exhaustion. I tried my best to help with chores, but she always complained I didn't do them right. And, then, I would plan on doing stuff on Saturdays, like cleaning, and she wouldn't wait for me to do it on the weekend, had to do it during the week, so she blamed me a lot for not cleaning, but she would never give me a chance.

But again, this was her being totally OCD about cleaning, not just like it's the weekend, let's clean house, but like all the time. Our friendship ended because of it. Even if I made a mess, she literally would not give me even time to clean it up. No matter what I did or how fast I tried to do it, it wasn't good enough for her. She was HORRIBLE.

It's not that I'm a naturally messy person. In fact, when I feel well, I like things to be totally straightened up and put away, but the depression makes it so hard to care, when I only have so much energy for so many things. Also, I would say that I've matured to being a little messy as an adult, but not the slob I am because of depression.

Anyways, I got lots of chores done last night. I think the vacuuming may still have to wait until tomorrow, but I'll get closer to ground zero tonight. And at least I feel like someone could come over now and I wouldn't be TOTALLY embarrassed.

I have these pet odor candles that are really awesome too, and those help. LOLZ.
