MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
It's understandable that maintaining order and completing basic everyday cleaning tasks can be challenging for some individuals. If you find yourself facing difficulties in these areas, it might be worth exploring the possibility that you are experiencing symptoms of depression, which can impact your energy and motivation significantly.
​
When dealing with such feelings, it’s not uncommon for everyday chores—like dishwashing, taking out the trash, or doing laundry—to become overwhelming. This can sometimes lead to a cycle where the more you feel behind on these tasks, the more daunting they become.
If you are finding it difficult to engage in these activities and are also noticing other symptoms of depression—such as feelings of sadness, low energy, irritability, or changes in your sleep and appetite—it may be beneficial to reach out to your doctor or a licensed mental health professional for support.
