I find that when I'm depressed, the state of chaos in my house reflects this mood. Sometimes I don't even feel depressed, but I know I must still be since I let things go to an extreme. When I actually know I'm not depressed anymore, I can see by how I keep things in place and organized, that my environment reflects my internal balence.
It's odd since there are many times I think I'm not depressed but I know I am when my closet is totally turned upside down. For m, chaos or disorganization is a sign of lingering depression.
Luckily my husband is a neat nik and I strive to keep things clean for him. If I lived alone I'm afraid I would really let things slide.
