I have a friend; it's not a relationship, and it's not TTWD - but she is quite naturally 'toppy' and I have a video call with her most days. She asks me how I'm doing with things like my laundry, washing, dishes and stuff. The only thing she really does is the stern voice and look, and sometimes scolding tone, but it's enough to help me a little bit with keeping on top of those things.
I relate to you saying how it makes you feel better. It kind of feels good to admit that I'm struggling with things, and to I guess admit or at least imply that I wouldn't or might not [be able to] do those things or keep on top of them without the reminder or being told. It's almost like it shifts the responsibility slightly so it's not entirely mine to worry about. I'm not sure it's exactly that, it's hard to say.
I don't think you need to feel embarrassed to post this question. I think the things you're feeling are not too uncommon human emotions, and definitely nothing to feel embarrassed about.
I've been up and down a lot myself. Writing an absolutely ridiculous amount has kind of helped me. If you follow my blog you might have noticed the explosion of posts... When I'm writing I feel I can live through my characters a little bit, and have them have the emotional outbursts that I want to have.
