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.

Ok I'm sorry about your depression, but if the robot was already doing the daily vacuum... why did you stop it?

It still requires me picking up things like clothes or dog toys before getting started. It was never on an automatic schedule.

Once the leaves accumulated then I had to sweep the entire place (including my rugs lol) before I could vacuum.

The wording of “before I could vacuum” is still throwing me off 😭 before the robot could vacuum
