This isn't a challenge only for people with bipolar disorder, but also for depression, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, impaired memory, and many other disabilities.

My house is so messy, it is all I can do to go to work everyday then come home and take care of my cats and dogs. I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one going thru this.

For me the clean house and body feel wonderful. The stress caused by getting the house clean or myself showered is hard to deal with. I hire friends or family to help me when it reaches a thresh hold I cannot manage. I hate messy and dirty houses, but cannot manage to keep mine clean. It drives me nuts. I would find the dogs a new home. They need a place to run and play. Hire or inlist help to get back on track. Going to take my meds and try to sleep. Good night!

LOL, I have the same problem sometimes! Routine is important, just so you know that when you abandon your routine, you're REALLY off... I can't even make myself use flylady, I've tried for years. I expend all kinds of effort on organizing what I'm going to do then don't finish. :(

I have not clinically been diagnosed with Bipolar but I am displaying a lot of the signs. Anxiety, hostility, misbehaviour, the highs and lows. I am so relieved to read about the messy bedrooms. I am physically in capable of tidying my room. I work long hours but it is more the fact that I have zero motivation, I can happily lay in my mess all weekend, curtains shut, no contact with the world. I look at my untidy room and cannot seem to lift a finger. It makes me feel low so I just abuse as much wine as possible to block it out. Just not in a good place right now. Don't know where to turn.

Hello Cazza,

Welcome to the forum! I am happy you joined.

I am sorry that you're not in a good place right now. Maybe you can spend some time outdoors during the weekend. This may help you feel better. Take a walk outdoors, go visiting places or even take a movie.

I hope you will feel better.
