yes, that's very common in depression. I'm bipolar and struggle/suffer/am tormented by highs and lows and actually I'm going through this right now. My house is such a mess it's basically unlivable. I've been living with my babys fathers dad until i have the house cleaned. Two weeks ago I painted and remodeled my entire house in four days running off four hours of sleep in between those days. Now this week I can't even pick up my living room.
Being that this is very normal for me unfortunately I have discovered "hacks" and "ways" to cope and still live a normal appearing life. I make it into little games. For example if I'm walking from my living room into my bedroom I will grab a bunch of things out there that belong in my bedroom and just take them on that trip so it isn't all so tedious at once. With laundry, I will put ten items up come back later put ten more things away until it's all put away.
The bathing and eating I have learned to buy a bunch of already prepped food so when I'm too depressed to fix something I can just grab something real quick. Or I will make a bunch of food when I'm manic so when I'm upset all I really have to do is pop it in the microwave. I also eat a lot of cereal and sandwiches when I'm depressed.
For the showering. i look at it as therapeutic. However yes Sadly there are lots of times I'm too depressed to do anything but get in the shower and just sit there and let the water run over me. I feel that's better than not taking a shower at all.
