You've got a husband who is never around, and you hold down a job, and you are beating yourself up for not doing the housework? I'd be congratulating myself on being a mom and employee. Not even to mention health issues. Your back may be feeling better but I bet the memory lingers, and you might be afraid of hurting it again.
And you're angry at the husband who's never around, which is not a great motivator to keep his house nice.
I think you need to reframe this for yourself to see how well you're doing. Going back to therapy might be a good idea. It would also give you a place to talk about your frustration and anger with not having a husband with a job that lets him be around more.
Can you tell your therapist that it's ok for her to say hi to you and act casually if you see each other outside therapy? It might be hard to avoid in a small town. Maybe you could show her Happyflower's thread and how her therapist handled being seen in a gym. :)
