[Shree]

Mental health struggles can sometimes make everyday household responsibilities feel much harder. Things like cooking, cleaning, paying bills, or keeping up with routines can require more energy than usual. It doesn't mean someone is lazy or doesn't care. Sometimes adjusting expectations and sharing responsibilities can make things more manageable.
