If you're feeling a little less than hopeful, you might have a hard time understanding why you should even bother to clean up or organize things since, from where you're standing, everything seems to be going wrong anyway. "If you can barely get out of the bed, it's unlikely that you have the energy to clean your room," she added. Cullins explained that, in the case of fatigue, many times you're struggling to get out of bed. Several of the criteria for a depression diagnosis - hopelessness, fatigue, and lack of concentration - can all play a role in why your messy room is in the state it's in. "When you think about it, there's a mundaneness and a monotony with keeping up with tasks like this that need to be completed routinely without much more benefit to them than returning to a clean room, so sometimes a refusal to keep a room clean is more about that than anything else." A messy room can also be a sign that you have depression. "Some people simply don't value cleanliness and they prioritize other things over keeping a room clean," Weena Cullins, a marriage and family therapist, told INSIDER. Having a messy room doesn't necessarily mean that there's anything else going on in terms of your mental health, but, in some cases, it can indicate something more serious. And that can, in fact, be all there is to it. Normally, you might not think that this means anything other than that you're short on time. Whether you were a little kid who just couldn't be bothered to clean your room unless told to do so, a college student who let things slip whenever a big paper or exam rolled around, or an adult who sometimes leaves dishes in the sink, chances are, you've made or ignored a mess. ![]() Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
