I am living with the same issues. I also have sought therapy. My spouse has CKD and heart issues. I belong to three book clubs 2 at the local library and one with a neighbor. They help me think about other things than the frustrations at home. It is adult company and a short time to give me a break.
He naps every day. During that time I read or sit outside in nature. I can honestly say my housekeeping is not good BUT I have learned that sometimes I need to put myself first.

@ketcham138, your comment about housekeeping reminded me of things @IndianaScott often shares of things being “Good Enough.” The dust bunnies will wait.

You might also enjoy this discussion and share some of the books you've enjoyed with your book clubs.
