Position it by asking if she's been doing okay recently because you've been noticing that she's been isolating herself and leaving things unfinished

No one enjoys isolating themselves and being messy, I'd urge you to genuinely ask her.

could be because she’s isolating on purpose. but that doesn’t mean she WANTS to be isolating. depressed ppl will pretend they are fine with their depressed traits but really we aren’t

yes it’s wrong that she won’t but depression is quite literally a reason people don’t clean up after themselves 😭 listen u don’t have to like her but if u want the problem fixed, this is the best route to take

People with depression sometimes can barely care for themselves, I'd simply tread lightly. It's fine if you guys aren't a good fit, but if you don't even feel like asking her if she's okay- you guys should probably go your separate ways. Bc living together isn't going to be good for either of you.
