Dear All
Can anyone please tell me what the home treatment team are able to do when they visit? I had them visit me about 3 years ago. They were pleasant enough but just talked a little and essentially seemed to be assessing if I was suicidal or not.
One of the many things that is bothering me at the moment is the state of my home. Anyone who knows me knows that I am normally very house proud, not OCD, but I like to be very tidy. Every room looks like a bomb has hit it. I am utterly ashamed. When I'm well I'd have no problem sorting it. But when I'm like this, although it makes no sense, I get completely overwhelmed even at making a simple start of say just one lot of washing up for the day, and carrying on like that each day. I know what you're supposed to do, little tasks and don't look at the big picture, but I am just not doing it. My behaviour makes me feel a complete failure, on top of the more serious issues. Does anyone else feel the same? I've thought of hiring a one off cleaner, but it's not cleaning as such, more a really big tidy up, if that makes sense? Has anyone else ever hired someone to do this kind of thing? It would be such a weight off my shoulders, you can't imagine. I would hope then I could start addressing the more serious issues. I am so sorry if my message sounds pathetic and whining.
