I have suffered from depression and anxiety for many years. All you have to do to see how I am feeling is take a look at my house. If it is clean, then I am feeling pretty good. If it is a mess, then I am a mess inside. I know that this is labeled as depression/anxiety issues, but have any of you ever wondered if this is something different? Like an illness in itself? Some people can be depressed and not have any problems whatsoever with keeping up with the house. It is an embarassing problem that I wish I could find a cure to as I am sure many of you wish as well. I am not bragging, but I am a great mother except for the whole house problem. I try so hard and will be doing great..then I start sliding again. Sometimes I feel a lot of it has to do with my need for having everything perfect. I know that perfection is impossible so I just give up. So, anyway...do you ever wonder if this could be something completely different? I do. It seems like it needs a different name. Thank you.
