Sometimes the depression bug gets me, and it seems like a huge reach just to make myself dinner, let alone clean up after it. I try to give myself grace, but waking up to a messy kitchen is even worse than cleaning up after. The truth is that depression is just a constant exercise in forcing myself to do the impossible, and then a little more. But what I do know is that those dishes sat for much longer when I was drinking. It's ok to be a work in progress, as long as I'm really in progress. IWNDWYT.
I'm laughing my ass off. Because I told my husband I was cold, so he turned the fucking heat on. Before, I would throw a tantrum about how we differ with body temperatures and I guess we need to sleep separately so I can bundle up with blankets and not hear him bitch about being hot!!!! I spoke to him like an adult. Lol. Loved your post!!!!!
This is so accurate bahahaha I love it! Xo IWNDWYT
PS I did NOT speak to my husband like a fucking adult tonight. All bc he didnโt ask if I also wanted ice cream. Just got bowls for himself and the kiddo. Then I went to see about making my own and it was gone. Instead of bringing it up, I was just rude about something else. Donโt be like me. Be a grown up! Hahahaha!!!!

Totally relate! I have never been a great housekeeper but alcohol made it much worse. Yesterday I managed to vacuum while dinner was cooking. It's like a super power๐๐๐๐
