I think I can empathize. That's why I wanted to stress the fact, that you do those things when you have a time window of feeling good. Always be on the lookout of how to save a little bit of progress for after things will have inevitably turned bad again.
If you have a little bit of money, you cannot use that to feel happy, but at least you can use it to make yourself not feel bad about a particular problem. Alternatively, if you do not have money to solve it, consider just throwing away the whole thing and be done with the root cause of that problem.
Getting a cleaning person to clean your house is often out of the question because you're ashamed of the state your house is in and dont want anyone else to see it until you've done something about it but you never do anything about it because you're in a depression.
Depressions most insidious part is the fact that it re-enforces itself. You get stuck in self defeating loops.
