So embarrassed that I’ve been lying in bed all day.

💭Seeking Support & Advice

My boyfriend and I live together, and I’m currently unemployed, so I’ve been home all day with nothing to do while it’s been around 60° outside. The kitchen is a mess, and I haven’t been able to get my meds lately, which has been affecting me. I’ve basically been in bed all day, no shower, no cleaning, just stuck there—and now he’ll be home in about 30 minutes. I feel really embarrassed thinking he’s going to come back and see me like this, in the same spot he left me in. Part of me feels like I should get up, shower, and at least try to look more put together so he doesn’t think I’m lazy or a “loser,” but another part of me is wondering if that’s even fair pressure. It also makes me question things like, is it right if he comes home upset that I wasn’t productive today?
