Hey Eli,
I do not talk about it often but I struggle with this. Two of the things I struggle with most are cleaning and cooking. My house used to be quite a mess but my husband and I recently had to clean it. Cooking is still difficult and I still do a lot of frozen meals. I have noticed that cooking is easier when I am no longer depressed or anxious. I was doing the meal deliveries and that was good and helped give me some good meals to cook, however, I fell into a deep state of anxiety and was not cooking.
Have you found anything to be helpful in overcoming this? I know some people say do a little at a time and I think that is a good idea however, that can seem overwhelming when the house is messy or what have you. It might help to have someone close to you help support you, periodically. I know having support from my husband with cleaning helps quite a bit.
