I don't know what to do.

Marley seems to think that several rooms in the house are for peeing, and even pooing, which she did once. She has gone 3 times in my computer room, once (today) in Chris' computer room, twice on the bath mat in the bathroom, and twice in the spare bedroom. Basically every room except the small bathroom (door is kept closed) and the rooms she sleeps/eats/plays in.

Save for making her sleep in all the other rooms, and playing and eating in them one by one, I don't know what to do.

Plus, a messed up sleep schedule has my meds side effects working overtime.

I feel like crap, and am on the verge of crying/freaking out/crying every time any little thing happens. Plus, the depression kicks in soon after that stuff, and it's really hard to deal with it all.

It's exhausting.

Plus the fact that if I don't clean up her messes (when I am on lunch and have very limited time), it apparently won't get done.

I am also frustrated. Can you tell?

On the plus side, I got the raise I was supposed to get at 30 days, plus the retroactive pay...

Still barely breaking even with bills and C. O. L. up here.

Gotta go eat something so I don't feel sick later.

I am confident you will find a way to teach her where its okay to do her business and where it is not.

She will need to know that you are very unhappy and dissapointed with her when she does it in the wrong places and you are so extremely pleased when she does it in the right places. I know you do not want to disipline her physically, and I think that is fantastic, but you still need to find a way to disipline her.

A kennel is what works for Cricket. She still occasionally has "accidents" and we have to bring it out and lock her in it to reinforce her puppy lessons. It seems to happen every year when it's really, really cold out. After she has been it it once though, she stops having these accidents. She also gets a treat every time she "goes" outside.

Good luck.
