Depression was so bad I couldn't do my dishes for months. Today was the first time both my sinks have been clean since March. I'm so fucking proud of myself. (was posted in another sub but feels more appropriate here)
I totally feel this comment. It is a struggle for me, too, when I am down. I am finally getting my house back together after a very long time of just not having it in me. Man it feels good, right?!?
Well done OP! This facet of depression is the worst and so humiliating - especially because you know deep down that you’re not “dirty” or “unhygienic”. I am absolutely not comparing our experiences but please allow me to say, “been there and still visit THERE”.
For those who have not experienced this level of depression- please know that OP has taken a MASSIVE step in a long journey.

Depression really takes it out of you and makes those "normal" tasks harder than most people understand. Congrats!
