[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will add - don't let it affect your willingness to entertain, because frankly, everyone else's house is a wreck as well. Unless there's mold growing on the dirty dishes, nobody's going to much care.[/quote] I grew up in a house where it was not unusual for mold to be growing on the dishes. Clothes were literally knee deep in the laundry and bathroom. An elderly dog pooped and peed every where. Always mountains of stuff. My mom was a single mom often working two jobs who also struggled with depression. My sister and I are in our 30s and are happy, employed, home-owning, and slightly messy but not outside the norm. The messy house is not a big deal. Not having friends over is not a big deal. Your happiness is important for your kids, though. If you can muster some energy, use it for finding affordable treatment or talking to your primary care doc about meds. The house is secondary.[/quote]
