Are you paying for it?

No, it's more of a charity type thing. A very good friend of mine she will come over and just keep it keep it tidy because I am the exact opposite OCD. I will let stuff accumulate on the tables etc. to the point where then it gets too overwhelming and I start the depression. She has her own key to my place and I am very rarely here when it happens. Sometimes even come home to something cooking in a crockpot and a six pack of beer in the fridge. I've often offered to give her some money but she refuses to take it she says she's just trying to keep me mentally stable

She sounds like an incredible human. But also you're obviously worth it, otherwise she wouldn't be doing it. I'm glad you have support. Depression is very dangerous and having someone to take care of you makes a huge difference. I have bipolar disorder and I don't have any highs because of medication but I do get bad depression. I totally get the clutter build up too. Makes me feel like my whole world is out of control and that I'm powerless to do anything about it.

Whenever I'm at someone's house and they apologize for their mess I take it personally. If they think this is a mess they would be disgusted by my house.

It's purely a psychological thing. You're much more self-conscious about things that are dusty or out of place in your own house/apartment than what you would notice anywhere else.

That's why I try to have people over several times a month (well, pre-Covid). It helps me stay motivated to keep a clean house.
