    Right? Is this post wash, and still looking like this, or is this pre-wash?

    I am neurodivergent, and really struggle with dishes. Touching other peoples leftover food absolutely disgusts me and it takes a lot of mental effort to do a load of dishes. No one in the house cleans their shit, they just dump it in the sink, and there is nasty stagnant water, left over whole-ass meals, chunks of food floating in gross, opaque liquids…

    I almost threw up just from this description.

    If I do a load of dishes, I have adopted the reality that some shit will have to be ran through twice. I’m not aiming for perfect, I’m just trying to get it done.

      It’s definitely pre-wash. The pink tub would have collected water otherwise.

      In any case, it’s overful. A simple “hey, thanks for doing that, but if we fill too much, it struggles. We can run it more often if we need to, but I really appreciate the effort!” Is probably sufficient to the cause,

        overfull

        You could definitely fit those things in there. There are blank spots.

        The e bowls need to stand much more vertical so you can clean multiple at a time. If you stand them right - they don’t take much more room than plates.

      Hey just a semantic point: overcoming disgust to perform a gross task is emotional work, not mental work.

      I wonder if there’s some word that’s the equivalent of courage, but for disgust instead of fear.
