My Messy Apartment is Driving Me INSANE!

Are any other Fibros out there sick and friggin' tired of their homes looking like pig sties?  Unless you are fortunate enough to have a husband/wife/roommate who cleans, you probably have an abode that looks something like mine.  Laundry piles up, dishes pile up, dust piles up, etc, etc.  Sometimes when I roll out of bed and walk into my living room I want to cry.  The floor hasn't been vacuumed in weeks, there are toys scattered all over the floor and overdue bills and other neglected paperwork piled on practically every surface.  I can't lift the full laundry basket so I have to wait till my husband is around or make several trips to the washing machine with small arm-fulls.  By the time I've done that, I'm spent.  On a good day I can recuperate for an hour or so and continue with chores.  On a bad day, that may be all I get done.  I may not even get the clothes from the washer to the dryer.

I know other ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia sufferers can understand how incredibly frustrating this is.  I was never a neat freak by any means, but a messy home gives me so much stress and I don't think the excess dust does me any good either.  If I had the money, I'd certainly hire a cleaning person once a week or so but since I can no longer work, that's out of the question.  I just have to do what I can and put blinders on for the rest, although that's a whole lot easier said than done.
