6 Cleaning Tips If You Suffer From Depression
2

• Depression can often leave you feeling mentally
  and physically exhausted and keeping a clean home
  might be furthest from your mind. However, when
  you dont clean your home, it can help to fuel
  your depression, and the whole situation can
  quickly spiral out of control and become a
  vicious circle with no end in sight.
• However, there are some ways to keep a clean home
  if you suffer with depression, and here are 6 of
  the best tips

3

• Break the cleaning chores up
• Setting yourself a huge cleaning schedule every
  day is probably not going to help you accomplish
  anything, but if you break the chores down into
  manageable tasks that can be spread out over
  several days, youll have more time and energy to
  complete them and will feel much more satisfied
  and fulfilled.
• Clean and tidy as you go
• Preventing your home from becoming dusty and
  dirty in the first place, is a no brainer, and
  sometimes it can be as simple as putting things
  back where you got them from right away, not
  having too much clutter, or washing the dishes
  after every meal.

• Avoid procrastination!
• Putting things off and delaying them is often a
  classic trait for those suffering from
  depression, but while you may not want to perform
  a cleaning task that really needs to be done,
  youll feel better once you have, and putting it
  off only makes the problem much worse and harder
  to clean in the long run.
• Keep your cleaning supplies to hand
• Having to hunt around your home for the right
  cleaning tools for the right task, can put you on
  the back foot before youve even begun. Wherever
  possible, try to keep a cleaning kit with the
  appropriate tools in every room, focusing on
  those need to be cleaned most often, such as the
  kitchen or bathroom.

5

• Make high footfall areas your priority
• If cleaning is really getting you down, try to
  just focus on those rooms or areas of your home
  that need the most attention, and ensure that at
  least theyre clean. Spend your precious energy
  where its most needed.
• Ensure your family pull their weight
• If you live in a multi-person household, then
  its important that all the cleaning isnt left
  down to you, especially if youre mentally
  unwell. If they care about you, theyll chip in
  with the housework and help you to keep the home
  clean for everyones benefit.

• If youre struggling to keep a clean home and
  cope with a mental illness, then it might be time
  to accept a little help from the professionals. A
  cleaning company can come in whenever you need
  them, and help to keep your home clean why you
  focus on getting better, or at the very least,
  alleviating your symptoms.
