I find my housework and work suffers and has suffered the most

[Fizzy74]

I have noticed that over the last year my house and at times my work (which is hard as I am self employed) suffers the most.  Now I am starting to feel better, and concentrating on my weight and eating, and slowly getting more energy, i am looking around my house and can't believe how bad I have let it get.  I am slowly starting to sort things out, but at the moment it just seems so horrendous!  But hubby is great, and I know working together we will get it done.  But I still find there are days when I try to work (I have my own typing company from home) and just trying to get up the energy and motivation to work is just not there!  Its so hard on my hubby and me and my clients as I just find excuse after excuse not to do something!  Which is frustrating for me as I am not that way inclined.  Does anyone else have this problem?

I simply can't keep on top of house work because it just doesn't even register with me 90% of the time that it needs done but then I have a psychotic disorder somehow related to bipolar disorder and have to be told it needs done for it to register, doesn't have anything to do with depression or a mood disorder or anything like that.  I don't have bipolar disorder but DO have a related disorder, however, so I thought you might find it interesting I also have this problem.  I think people without mental illness even can have this problem.  Hell I can't even keep up on my own personal hygiene a lot of the time because I am disorganized and sometimes it doesn't register as well at times when I'm able to do it.  I can't do dishes though mainly because of how bad my back hurts.  I have to rely on someone else for this stuff to get done.

Me too. If I'm not on it every day, my house falls to the wayside and it takes me days to catch back up again. I hate it.

Your not alone.  I am having a very hard time keeping motivated, but have much to catch up on.  Atleast it sounds like you have great support and are headed in the rite direction so give yourself a break and keep on pushing forward little by little and it will get better.  
Good Luck to you
