I struggle with major depressive episodes and find it difficult to get out of bed somedays. I recently have set myself a challenge to do something each day, some kind of cleaning or routine so I can find something positive to look back on to not feels so bad. Today I cleaned the downstairs and even made breakfast all by 10am( I cleaned after the meal too). I felt so proud then my partner randomly sends me a text and says what I did does not count as cleaning. I was feeling so good about myself today I really was I felt like I was actually a function person worth something and because the one chore I ask of him is trash he says I could do better. I get he works but a lot of the mess is from him. Even when I clean he goes back and leaves a mess again. Brought home a dog he doesn't walk so I'm stuck cleaning up after it. He makes decisions that impact us both but I'm forced to live with them. I feel so resentful and unappreciated
