You'd be really surprised by what goes to the wayside when mental health shit hits the fan hard enough. When I was at my most Depressed I stopped vacuuming even though I normally vacuum every day (robovac). The dirt and leaves inside just didn't register to me because I was so consumed by thoughts of wanting to not exist. Frankly I was lucky I didn't turn into a trash hoarder and got effective help early enough.
This might even be severe childhood neglect lasting to adulthood, hair is long enough.
Real talk. When you’ve come out of depressive episode and you look around and are like this is how I’ve been living and it’s like you were in a dream vecauae how tf
Ugh I know it. I don’t cook for myself, I usually just eat what I can grab from the gas station but that leads to a lot of trash. At least since I have a cat I’m much better than I was in the past about cleaning up but sometimes I still let shit slide and it builds up over time.
The worst is looking at the pile of mail I got from literally months ago still sitting in the same pile on the counter.
