Help with cleaning
Can't find my old post, so posting here. I'm feeling discouraged because I'm trying to find more help with daily tasks like cleaning. I posted on care.com, but people are way overqualified and not very willing to only do 1hr/week. I had one person setup to meet, but she cancelled last minute. I don't know what to do. I also wish my therapist would help me with this somehow and I'm frustrated with her.

I'm sorry to hear about what's happening - it must be very frustrating for you.
A lot of care companies do provide cleaning services, but they are for profit and doing one hour a week isn't worthwhile for them to accept the contract (I used to work for a care company). It's not to say they're too overqualified or anything. :)
Definitely keep looking at cleaning companies. Just because one cancelled last minute, that's not to say another one will! :D Make sure to check out some online reviews for those companies before you book them.
@SilentSerenityy I wasn't looking at cleaning companies, I was looking at hiring an individual caretaker. I don't know if I can afford an actual cleaning service, and that's not really what I want anyway; I want someone who will help me with overwhelming tasks on an individual level.

I try not to stress about it...due to my conditions I became a "hoarder", in the bad sense allowing garbage to pile up near my bed...
But from time to time helped maybe by my rare high bipolar outbursts, I go on and do the cleaning...
I do it bit by bit, one small step at a time and I find that I throw away the garbage, I do the dishes slowly, I wash my clothes ecen if then I forget them for a week hanging on the balcony😊, I shave which is an ordeal every time since I have a blunt two year old shaving blade which more like scrapes than shaves...
Then I collapse and the vicious cycle goes round again...
But somehow I manage to still do the cleaning from time to time...for now...qho knows if I will still be able or willing to do it anymore...
There was a movie with a girl who impersonated a cleaning lady just to be near the depressed man whom she loved...she came to his house and he refused cleaning help saying he has no money for it and she told him that it was a free trial offer from her cleaning company...and the story went on (a sci fi movie about an identical earth suddenly appearing in the sky near our earth when we could meet our own selves...)
I have the same problem, but on the contrary, I want to contact the cleaning company. I need to clean the ventilation system, which I never did. Do you have any advice on where to go?
Today, there are no problems with finding such companies, there are quite a lot of them in every city. Not long ago, my friend decided to clean the ventilation with his own hands, but could not. He was recommended to contact https://comfortclean.com/air-duct-cleaning-mississauga/. He liked the result of the work, as the air in the apartment became much cleaner.
