......say they don’t have time for household chores.

Are you in the 50%?

Are you in the plenty of time for chores 50%?

What level of dirt can you live with?

What level of untidiness can you live with?

Does your mental health make a difference to chores being done and how clean and tidy your house is?

Yup that's me. I do them, but I've always got better things to do!

Dirty house? No chance, but magazine on the floor and the odd mug on the kitchen worktop? That can wait until after the bike ride etc etc

We don't have much time for housework. We do what we have to routinely to keep our home clean and tidy but jobs such as cleaning skirting boards etc, we struggle to find time.

We prioritise in what needs done, and we would rather our children eat healthy homemade meals than have gleaming skirting boards.

I would say skirting boards aren’t something you’d do every week anyway and healthy food is definitely far more important

Answer 5

Cleary you do not understand mental health at all, some people struggle to stay alive, let alone get out of bed and clean.

No it’s not. If you’ve ever suffered from severe depression you’d know what an unbelievable effort and challenge it is to even bring yourself to put a load of washing on. It’s not a kop out.

There’s a difference between dirty and messy.

I’d rather not clean but I cannot cope with dirt- I have dogs and children so I spend a lot of time cleaning! I don’t have the time but I make time.

However, it’s a lived in house and you may tread on Lego or a toy upon entering during the day.

I love evenings when it stays tidy for a while

Good luck with that

I’ve had a fair few, it’s fraught with problems:-

I don’t do....

I only use my own cleaning products

I only clean what I can see

I charge ............ (no I don’t think they should be paid minimum wage but nor do I expect to pay the hourly rate of a barrister)

Then you get cleaners that move things, break things or clean things you don’t want cleaning. I’ll stop before I put you off

"I need a clean house and I tend to get chores done before I move onto anything else. Although I sometimes like the thought of a cleaner I just couldn’t cope with someone coming into my house and I would worry about how they cleaned things.

Babs do not get a cleaner, I’m getting stressed just thinking about it. Although she/he could do the ironing

My bum irons and is happy to do so "

Oh god I’ve just remembered when my previous cleaner found my rabbit in the sink

"I don’t like dirt but yes my house gets messy. My boys keep me busy both mentally and physically so I don’t always have the time or the inclination to clean as much as I should.

My mental health does affect how much I do, the lockdown is really testing me, with no respite I’m struggling to keep myself going and not let my sons see the anxiety that I’m going through x

This must be a difficult time for you Angie. Cleaning shouldn’t be top of your list of priorities, I expect just getting through the day is an achievement. Keep your chin up and on Thursday next week give yourself a clap, you deserve it xxx

Honestly it is an achievement some days. How I’ve managed to decorate half the house these past few weeks I don’t know. X "

Good lord woman have a rest xxx

"......say they don’t have time for household chores.

Are you in the 50%?

Are you in the plenty of time for chores 50%?

What level of dirt can you live with?

What level of untidiness can you live with?

Does your mental health make a difference to chores being done and how clean and tidy your house is?

1 - no. I clean my house.

2 - yes.

3 - very little.

4 - very little.

5 - mental health cant be used as an excuse to being a dirty person. Thats a kop out

Answer 5

Cleary you do not understand mental health at all, some people struggle to stay alive, let alone get out of bed and clean."

Go through a reputable cleaning company who does monthly audit including swab tests! Will they do that?

They should. The same people who clean my business cleans my home too. I am sure you will find someone. It just gives you a piece of mind, and takes the worry away!"

Will you stop encouraging her, I’ll have to pick up the pieces when it all goes wrong

So true.

I used to have a friend years ago that had so many awful things happen to her that her mental health suffered.

Her house was disgusting!

It was a massive hoard - just like the ones you see on TV now.

In those days it wasnt understood - and I tried to help her but she needed a Councillor as well as someone to help her clean.

Very sad.

No it’s not. If you’ve ever suffered from severe depression you’d know what an unbelievable effort and challenge it is to even bring yourself to put a load of washing on. It’s not a kop out. "

As I said earlier, if you're as low as you can be with depression,anxiety, suicidal thoughts your motivation to do anything can disappear.

Yes you still know right from wrong and clean from dirty but just can't be arsed.

I've been there as have you, I didn't get dressed or leave the house for months, I barely did any housework.

It's not that simple as you put it. Some can still function, some cant.

Just because you did function judging by your comments doesn't give you the right to judge others because they didn't or can't.

I havent suffered from any mental health issues but i knew someone who did, then used it as an excuse & took the piss for years (bone idle springs to mind).. because of this it gives me the right to my opinion. Me i havent judged anyone. I have no right to judge anyone like no one has the right to judge me. I firmly believe far to many people say they suffer from it. How many people say they have MHI have been sectioned? I understand & know the legal side of sectioning. The term of i feel low is understandable, i get that but go back 20- 30 years plus & if you said you were suffering from MHI to the extent of suicide then the chances of getting locked up was high. Hospitals are modern now but back in the day it was an like entering shawshank prison but the term then was an asylum. You had no legal rights. My point is how many people now adays would say they had MHI if they knew they would be locked up like yesteryear? I take this topic seriously & not aiming to offend.

Yes you still know right from wrong and clean from dirty but just can't be arsed.

I've been there as have you, I didn't get dressed or leave the house for months, I barely did any housework.

It's not that simple as you put it. Some can still function, some cant.

Just because you did function judging by your comments doesn't give you the right to judge others because they didn't or can't.....

I havent suffered from any mental health issues but i knew someone who did, then used it as an excuse & took the piss for years (bone idle springs to mind).. because of this it gives me the right to my opinion. Me i havent judged anyone. I have no right to judge anyone like no one has the right to judge me. I firmly believe far to many people say they suffer from it. How many people say they have MHI have been sectioned? I understand & know the legal side of sectioning. The term of i feel low is understandable, i get that but go back 20- 30 years plus & if you said you were suffering from MHI to the extent of suicide then the chances of getting locked up was high. Hospitals are modern now but back in the day it was an like entering shawshank prison but the term then was an asylum. You had no legal rights. My point is how many people now adays would say they had MHI if they knew they would be locked up like yesteryear? I take this topic seriously & not aiming to offend.

You clearly don't take it seriously if you think the barbaric and degrading treatment of years ago has any place in this sort of discussion. "

..

You clearly have missed my point.

Have you ever taken a shit while the doors open & getting watched?.

Whether it happened 30 years ago plus or less than 15 years ago, yes in the 21st centuary doesnt matter. Barbaric, youve no idea. Im aware personaly.I feel far to many people say the suffer from MHI but in reality its an off day/week. I dont condone the stigma but also dont condone piss takers

"I live on my own so my place never gets too bad.

It's easier when I stay on top of it and do little bits every day and a top to bottom clean once a week.

No one condoned piss takers but until you've walked in their shoes, think long and hard about your opinions.

Now the OP didn't want a debate on mental health rights and wrongs so I think we should leave it there

The topic shouldnt have been raised if freedom of speech wasnt allowed. A person may have qualifications in MHI but will that person ever understand?.. i can call piss takers piss takers if thats exactly what they are. I put to everyone. If you owed a business would you employee a person who said they had MHI? To anyone with an opinion. Have you ever been in an asylum? The MHI of today are no where near yesteryear

Or are you implying that the welfare state should discriminate against those that have mental illness?

You clearly don't take it seriously if you think the barbaric and degrading treatment of years ago has any place in this sort of discussion. ..

You clearly have missed my point.

Have you ever taken a shit while the doors open & getting watched?.

Whether it happened 30 years ago plus or less than 15 years ago, yes in the 21st centuary doesnt matter. Barbaric, youve no idea. Im aware personaly.I feel far to many people say the suffer from MHI but in reality its an off day/week. I dont condone the stigma but also dont condone piss takers

Are you a qualified, trained professional in mental health? I doubt it

No one condoned piss takers but until you've walked in their shoes, think long and hard about your opinions.

Now the OP didn't want a debate on mental health rights and wrongs so I think we should leave it there ..

The topic shouldnt have been raised if freedom of speech wasnt allowed. A person may have qualifications in MHI but will that person ever understand?.. i can call piss takers piss takers if thats exactly what they are. I put to everyone. If you owed a business would you employee a person who said they had MHI? To anyone with an opinion. Have you ever been in an asylum? The MHI of today are no where near yesteryear

Are you trying to say ppl exaggerate their mental heath issues or that they fake having them or that mental health issues are no excuse for not cleaning?.

Do people receive money from the government for claiming they suffer from MHI?

I don’t work for the Department of Work and Pensions so I wouldn’t like to say ....

Do you think people should recieve financial gain if they say they have MHI

Are you referring to benefit fraud as you’ve mentioned ‘financial gain’?

Or are you implying that the welfare state should discriminate against those that have mental illness?

Or are you implying it’s not an illness and they shouldn’t receive money from the state?

Im implying nothing.."

You speak a convincing arguement. All this scrolling down....

"I live on my own so my place never gets too bad.

It's easier when I stay on top of it and do little bits every day and a top to bottom clean once a week.

There are always better things to do than cleaning but it has to be done!

I like living in a clean tidy environment- mess is bad for anyones mental health.

Or can be the result of poor mental health

Why is that? Your either clean or dirty. You know what is right & wrong in life the same way you know whats clean & dirty. Its that simple.

As I said earlier, if you're as low as you can be with depression,anxiety, suicidal thoughts your motivation to do anything can disappear.

Yes you still know right from wrong and clean from dirty but just can't be arsed.

I've been there as have you, I didn't get dressed or leave the house for months, I barely did any housework.

It's not that simple as you put it. Some can still function, some cant.

Just because you did function judging by your comments doesn't give you the right to judge others because they didn't or can't.....

I havent suffered from any mental health issues but i knew someone who did, then used it as an excuse & took the piss for years (bone idle springs to mind).. because of this it gives me the right to my opinion. Me i havent judged anyone. I have no right to judge anyone like no one has the right to judge me. I firmly believe far to many people say they suffer from it. How many people say they have MHI have been sectioned? I understand & know the legal side of sectioning. The term of i feel low is understandable, i get that but go back 20- 30 years plus & if you said you were suffering from MHI to the extent of suicide then the chances of getting locked up was high. Hospitals are modern now but back in the day it was an like entering shawshank prison but the term then was an asylum. You had no legal rights.

At the risk of sounding rude can you get to the point because I’m at a loss as to where you going with your endless questions. You also seem intent on asking me questions I’m not qualified to answer or make a judgment on an entire group of ppl whose illnesses are so varied. Do you have a point or just an axe to grind because someone you know in your opinion is cheating the system?

Ive no point to make & no judgement to pass. I answered the 5 topics but people jumped on point 5. Point 5 is still a tricky taboo subject that obviously people feel strongly about.

You just feel having seen it yourself, that there are ppl that don’t genuinely have a mental health illness or exaggerate symptoms in order to gain in various areas of their life? Given your experience it’s a reasonable assumption that it isn’t an isolated incident. However, I don’t think your assumption is true only of mental illness and why your posts have been perceived as judgemental and distasteful. Cheating the system is a huge problem in the UK and costs the tax payer and businesses untold amounts every year. I think we can all agree whatever guise is used to achieve this is wrong.

Pink I’ve cleaned and scrubbed and my house smells beautiful and fresh as always. It didn’t take long either

I still haven’t done the oven though. I fear I will always be too busy for that. I might buy a new one

There's not enough hours in the day to be honest... But daily hoovering, dusting, mopping, washing, makes it much easier to do. But there's always something else to do, so ger all the housework out the way, then focus on other odd jobs that on the dreaded "to do list".
