I have no energy or motivation to do everyday chores like ckeaning or doing dishes. They generally do not get done. Someone comes to do them for me every once in a while. I hate the mess.

"[...]talk incessantly[...]"
"[...]I have no energy or motivation to do everyday chores like ckeaning or doing dishes. They generally do not get done.[...]"your neuroprotectives are great, everyone should do it. but you are taking some that inversely IMO effect others. but why quibble.
you asked for suggestions.
don't cheat yourself out of the deeper stages of sleep and enough hourage on the pillow. 1.
sleep lab? you could have an occult disorder. 2.
[dysthymia is now considered part of the big bipolar spectrum umbrella. soon we'll all be under it. hmm...] could you have a "subsyndromal"
(dare i say it) depression?
hmm..for dysthymia:
