to ask for a really pathetic well done

[ParryHotterx]

so living with what can sometimes be quite severe depression, as anyone else who is knows, the housework becomes a vicious cycle of self-loathing. Got to 6pm today and the usual feeling of all I've done today is procrastinate and nap, settled down for my usual wine and pity fest and thought I've got to do something to break this cycle.
Set a 20 min timer on my phone and loaded the dishwasher. 5 hours of 20 min bursts later and the living room and kitchen are clean for the first time in well over a year. Rest of the place is a dump, but looking round and I feel great.
So here's a grown up professional woman asking for a well done for tidying up a little bit

Don't belittle your own achievements OP, that's amazing work! I bet you feel so much better now, and you should be really genuinely proud of yourself. 💕🌟

Well done!! That's not asmall thing, that's a big thing! It takes a lot of work getting through depression and doing things like housework. Congratulations

Well done! Bet you feel good now. That's a lot of work, you can have a well deserved wine now ;)

Well done op! That’s a great effort and in this heat too?! 👏🏻

That’s brilliant OP. Such a big step for you to overcome xx

Absolutely seriously not being at all sarcastic - Well Done

Well done! you should be very proud of your achievement!

Good job! And that isn’t a small thing. This is a massive thing when you’re feeling like that. Lethargy is a bastard. Well done!!

Well done! It can be really overwhelming but you'll be so proud when you're looking at the things you've managed to clean yourself good luck with the rest

That's amazing well done you! We're having a home visit tomorrow so I should've spent today cleaning but I'll chuck it all in my room and shut the door tomo! I had wine instead so you were way more motivated than me... are you going to write a list of what else needs doing to continue the momentum to tomorrow?

Well done OP - I've had similar experiences to you and it's such a satisfying feeling when you accomplish things like this!

Strikethrough fail!

How funny, I had the exact same depressive/cleaning episode this afternoon. My sons bedroom and the bathroom are a joy to behold! Well done you X x

Well done, you!! That's a fantastic achievement xxx

That's amazing. Well done 💖💖💖

I’m in a similar situation to you - so impressed, well done xxxxx

Bloody well done love!! That’s not pathetic at all it’s a fantastic achievement. It’s so hard to overcome your head sometimes so please accept a gigantic round of applause and a big hug from me, to go with your lovely cold glass of wine which I think you have very much earned

Well done Parry!!

Next time put some music or an interesting Ted Talk. I have listened to JK Rowlings commencement speech on youtube? I like to be enlightened when I clean

Could you arrange a little treat?

Well done- you deserve to live in a pleasant and orderly environment.

I don't think you're being at all pathetic, what you've done sounds fantastic. I can't remember the last time I spent five hours cleaning. Well done!

Huge well done

I'm in the grips of depression and managed to clear the under the stairs cupboard, move all our spices and bottles into it and put the oven trays in a bag of oven pride.

Inbetween a couple of naps.

There must be something in the air today.

Well done! I suffer from depression too, you need self care days when things get overwhelming and it does mean chores don't get done. I haven't hoovered in 3 weeks and my dog is having a massive shed. I did get a week's fortnights worth of washing up done today and I am proud of that. Your mental wellbeing is more important than a clean kitchen

Hey - well done, that MNer

You really deserve that well done! I know how hard that was for you and I understand the cycle of self-loathing. Go, you!! 🌷

Well done!

That's not pathetic at all.

Be proud of yourself!
