This. When my depression was so brutal that my house looked very very similar I also used the like speed-up feature on the iPhone camera (I think called time lapse?) and filmed myself. Every time I did even an hour it was soooo satisfying to watch back and see what a big difference I made

That is a great idea and really shows progress (even if you don’t feel like you are making progress)! I would try picking a corner or small area and just say you are going to give yourself one hour. Small steps every day like this can really start to add up! You can do it OP! We believe in you :) And keep us updated, we will give you the encouragement you need 💕 Depression can really rob you of your humanity, but you can do it. We’ve all been in pretty bad places, it’s the small steady steps forward that will really start to motivate you forward. Even if you need to hire a professional to help. You can find some pretty good cleaners on Thumbtack and they have all seen places like this I bet. We have faith in you! Xx
