Noa,
Yes, I had to kick into high gear last week in order to try to make things presentable. Once I decided to approach it as "damage-control" instead of being a perfectionist, it was much easier--the goal was much closer at hand. I still have tons of papers to go through, and cleaning (with sponges and vacuum) to do, but it's better than it was, and I didn't feel *too* bad having my dad over. I've never been known for my tidyness, anyway, so I suppose that helps... The deadline was helpful, as I'm a great procrastinator and my energy level, while mildly improved, is only just barely there, so it's always preferable to just sit and watch TV.

Otherwise, things are just okay. I'm still on 10mg/day Celexa, but since this is supposedly sub-therapeutic, I'm wondering if I should even bother. I'm doing better than I was, probably partly due to the SSRI emotional dulling that I think is attenuated apathy, so I'm not so reactive to things. Kind of lame that the medication has the apathy side-effect, and so does the depression, so I can't tell if it's the meds or me doing this! I really think I should try Adderall and/or Cytomel or something, but it all seems like so much trouble right now, that I can't be bothered. I was thinking of switching doctors, partially due to my lack of insurance ($95 a visit is a lot in addition to eventually having to pay for medication), but that also seems like a pain to deal with right now. I did manage to go out last night, which is a good sign, but I'm not too enthused about having to deal with work tomorrow. Since I had to spend the weekend with my dad, I missed out on my traditional hibernation period, so I just feel like staying in my house for a couple of days. Man, I bet a stimulant would totally change my existence!
Good luck with your cleaning--does the deadline help you at all? The hardest part is maintaining the situation once you clear things up--I'm trying to devise some system so that I can at least attempt to avoid the steeple-chase phenomenon.
