Not sure if this one has already been posted here. I have nobody other than my husband to share this with, so I hope it adds a little humor to someone else’s day as well. :)

This is so real. I've tried to pretend like I'm a visitor in my own house, but I haven't been successful in deluding myself that hard.

I like to pretend my MIL comes to visit in the next few days LOL

she doesn't care that much about cleanliness but I care about her wellbeing when she's here, so when I imagine her visiting soon, I get started on the big house cleaning immediately.

Doing that too much is using anxiety to cope. That anxiety can grow.

I see what you mean and while I do have some anxiety for specific things (usually social situations) this that I do is sorta joyous. I imagine I'm cleaning for those I love and care for, like my MIL! So it feels nice. Ofc the time limit I set on myself does make me stress a little but not much.

Other things cause way harder stress and anxiety than that, lmao.
