  1. Keeping A Clean Home When Suffering From Depression

  2. Whether you are suffering from chronic depression, or often feel down, there will be certain aspects of your life that you don’t pay as much attention to, and they can attribute towards the negative way that you’re feeling. Keeping a clean home is often not a priority for those suffering from mental health issues, and yet having a mess around can leave it hard for you to feel positive, and to get yourself out of a negative frame of mind. How depression can make you feel: Depression can make you feel lethargic and unwilling to participate in activities that you may once have enjoyed, or at least tolerated, and when you start letting

  3. your home become dirty and messy, that can be a key indication that something is not right, and that perhaps you should seek help from a mental health professional. Unfortunately, when you leave the dishes to pile up in the sink, or don’t vacuum your floors for weeks on end, it can add to a destructive cycle that feeds on itself. Then, if your home gets beyond a point of no return – when a quick whip around with a duster and the vacuum won’t make a blind bit of difference – the task ahead of you seems to huge and you are left feeling unable to tackle it. You will gradually begin to feel hopeless and lose all confidence in your abilities, and the dirt and grime will get progressively worse, as may your depression.

  4. So, how can you keep a clean home when you’re depressed? Studies have shown that a minimum of 20 minutes of daily physical exercise can greatly benefit our mental health, and this can of course, include cleaning. So, to try and help yourself, follow these simple tips for cleaning your home when you’re depressed: Don’t feel that you must clean the entire home in one go. Break it up into manageable sections, such as the bathroom one day, the kitchen the next.

  5. When you make a mess, try to clean it up right away, or at least on the same day. The same said can be said for accumulating clutter; tidy it up before it gets a chance to become clutter. Putting things off until another day is the worst thing that you can do, particularly if you are not a fan of cleaning or are struggling with a mental health issue. If something needs to be cleaned, try to do it as soon as possible and you’ll be amazed at how much better it makes you feel. It makes sense to concentrate your daily cleaning efforts on those areas that are most used, and which become dirty the quickest.

  6. Save larger tasks which may not be so urgent for when you have more time or are feeling most motivated. Keeping your cleaning items all together n one easy to find place, is helpful too, since it minimises the time spent searching for the right tools for the job. Should your depression ever feel like it’s getting the better of you, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. You may also find that hiring a cleaner to get your home spick and span may help ease your worries, since we know that a dirty home can help to feed negative thoughts and energies.
