One of the most enraging things about the sabotoge is that it gets us off the original subject. This thread was started by mbnm, who wrote so eloquently about the experience of depression.
How are you, mbnm?

MBNB :
I am feeling concerned about you, can you give us an update?
The previous thread had at least two people who "joined" your household dilemmas. That helped me a lot (didn't feel so alone).
Are you doing ok?

Hi me, I know what it feels like to be so tired you almost have to remind yourself to breathe. It makes it such a struggle to do even things you enjoy, and cleaning house is definitely not in that category. I have to second Noa's notion that an endocrine exam is a good idea. Multiple meds have taken care of most of the low mood stuff but the weariness has gotten incredibly better since my Cytomel ( T3 ) was increased. I am no longer aware of the enormous weight I used to drag every where I went. We have finally begun the first thorough house cleaning since the flood in 1997.
Take a task that seems doable and keep nibbling away at it. It might be a possibility that the salvation army would have a suggestion about where to find help with the cleaning. High school groups here often have chore days to raise $. Quilter

Hi Shar, Quilter, and Noa- (wherever you are, we will miss your presence here)
I completely missed this thread. Got so off-track above...
Well, I have posted a sort-of update below. I have decided to explore voluntary hospitalization, now that my old suicidal urges have surfaced again. It's not acute suicidal danger, more of an option that I hold close if this all gets to be too much. I realize it's time for me to seek help when that happens.
I think the sordid state of this apartment was the last straw, it really reflects the disarray that I harbor within. I am having trouble taking care of myself and just recently realized how far I have 'fallen'. Thanks to the posts and support here, and the support I am finding I have around me that I didn't know existed, the idea of hospitalization is not as scary- and now seems like the right time to pursue help.
I will keep you posted on what happens, I think I am going to the hospital in the morning (if I can get up - it is so late now and I still can't sleep). Thank you all for caring :)
