[quote=Anonymous]Am I the first person to ask why most or all of the housework and cooking is falling on you? When I've struggled, I've asked my spouse to step with the organizational stuff and figure out what needs to be done. Then we divide the tasks and have time when we are both doing the agreed upon tasks at the same time. We see what we can get done in two hours on Sat or a half-hour after dinner. You don't need a diagnosis to struggle when you are one person fighting the mess created by a household. Hopefully you have supportive people in your life. You might also talk to your therapist about developing positive self-talk and not catastrophizing. [/quote]
