How to Keep House while Drowning
Book
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“No one ever shamed themselves into better mental health.” This audiobook was truly so insightful. There were so many instances while listening when I thought the author was literally holding me by the shoulder and speaking to me directly. The emphasis on viewing care tasks as morally neutral (having a messy room does not mean you are an unhygienic/lazy person), was so helpful. I listened to this book when I didn’t really have access to “my bedroom” as I have been crashing at friends’ and relatives’ places but as someone prone to depression pits, I feel better equipped to handle my environments. Sidenote: Breaking down the main points of the chapters and explaining some metaphors were honestly such a good idea, will definitely be revisiting this book!
