I work full time and have a part time doctorate on the go, plus trying to keep going day by day with CPTSD, GAD, and at the moment fighting my way through a major depressive period. All this is very draining, consequently I have to prioritise and while I'm just about keeping on top of work (just about) and a minimum of self care, cooking, washing clothes/dishes (eventually) etc, the house is falling apart and it's getting me down as it just feels like I can't keep on top of things but I'm starting to lose stuff under piles of crap. Plus it's also making me even more isolated socially as I would also be embarrassed to have anyone around (not that I tend to invite people around but this is another barrier to doing so).

Does anyone get help with cleaning? (I mean professional help). I'm toying with the idea but also embarrassed to let anyone in or see the mess I'm in and don't like my privacy/space being disturbed. How do you handle this?
