            Its not hard at all.

            Just do one thing after the other, listen to a podcast/music or whatever gets you in the mood to zone out and try to keep a routine.

            If you feel like you dont have any energy etc It might be worth it to talk to tour doctor about depression.

        learn how to cook & clean

        when you have some control over those aspects of your environment you'll feel better anyway

        edit: sorry this was lazy of me. I happen to be an expert in cleaning, so I can help you with any such questions. I could provide a technical manual but it'd take ages to write, so it's better if you have any specific queries, i can offer you practical accurate advice.

        i can also cook but I'm not an expert or particularly interested in the art.

        i'm sure theres other comrades who can help you learn these things, you're not alone, and luckily i don't charge for my bountiful cleaning wisdom it's free :D

            depends on your budget and situation. ok i'll give as much detail as i can:

            If you have a washing machine, a reasonably ok budget for this stuff, and can afford to run the machine:

            Buy washing powder. If you like softer clothes and can afford it, buy fabric softner. If you have skin reactions to detergents, buy washing powder with that in mind. If you want extra fragrent washing, that's what those 'scent beads' are for. sometimes detergent (washing powder) is sold in capsules or solid blocks - this is a con to make you spend more.

            work out how often you go through clothes/bedlinen (there are some basic hygiene standards to observe here), and work out a (flexible) routine regarding when to do a laundry. having a routine even if you break it sometimes will help you manage these tedious chores better.

            this will vary depending on how many things you have to wash. if you're on your own and don't own lots of clothes it won't be that often maybe once a week.

            store your dirty linen in a closed container (like a hamper or a bag), ideally in some part of the house you don't sleep or eat in. if items are especially soiled, store them and wash them seperately. if there are biohazards, wash items as soon as you can don't store them for long. So stuff like vomit, spit, blood, shit, sweat from being ill, yesterday's pizza.

            washing machines vary a fair bit with their settings. you can usually look up the user manual for yours online if you don't have it.

            otherwise, generally, most fabrics are to be washed at 30-40 degrees (c). most machines will have a temperature setting and you can for a general wash ignore the complex stuff like spin cycles, non-crease/no-ironing, pre-washes, and so on. I know I do.

            cotton can take a lot more heat than plastic fibres (nylon, polyester). While your everyday clothes shouldn't need a very hot wash often, its good to wash your bed-linen seperately (if it's cotton) on above 75. look up the fabric (it shld be on the label of the item) and look up what temp to use - silk, velvet, cotton, plastic fabrics all vary a bit (tho again, 30-40 will be fine for most).

            wash cloths/rags you use for cleaning, and mop heads, on a high temp (above 75degree c is considered enough for 'medical' standards i think). And seperately from your clothes/bedlinen, don't cross-contaminate.

            people do seperate washes for coloured cloths & white, because most fabric dyes will run when they're heated up, which is noticable on white clothes that absorb the dye. Some (especially new stuff) will run a bit as soon as they're wet. personally i don't really care if my whites end up pinkish but tastes differ. The most common colours to run are reds and blacks.

            don't put shoes in a machine unless you're sure the glue won't melt. Cold temp only probably.

            if clothes are really soiled (eg. very muddy, covered in paint) don't put them in the machine - it has filters and complex parts and you'll break it.

            instead, it's time to hand wash, which is also what you have to do if you can't afford a machine:

            Handwashing is arduous, which is why machines are a blessing. You need detergent (washing liquid is also detergent if you have no washing powder, also soap will work but is harder & you have to rinse it more). You need to fill up a tub or a bath or a sink, and you need to scrub the fabric in the soapy water. Wear gloves because detergent. Cold water for colours/glue/plastics, warm for plant/plastic blends, hot for killing germs.

            this takes time and multiple rinses if the soiling is bad. Also, since you're not a machine and can't spin the fabric rapidly after, you need to wring the water out by hand. I can't understate how much of a pain this is. Wet clothes are really heavy, and wringing them requires a lot of effort. You also want to rinse as much soap out as possible, so you need to wring them multiple times.

            you have to manually replicate what a washing machine does, with your own hands. Washing machines spin so fast they need a lump of concrete or metal in them to hold them down.

            Drying:

            dry outside in the sun where possible. You can make lines with cheap rope or string, and you can tie knots if you have no pegs.

            if you dry indoors with no ventilation, it will make your house damp and possibly damage walls or cause mould. It's bad for your health to be in a room full of drying clothes all the time, so don't dry them in the room you sleep in.

            ok, that's all I can think of in a general sense in answer to your general query. If there are any further questions or clarifications please let me know

                ah apologies.

                in that case just experiment with it yourself, and learn by doing instead of reading. it might take longer tho.

                    1. get washing powder
                    2. get dirty laundry
                    3. put on pre set cycle (30 degrees, or eco, or 40 degree wash)
                    4. take out, dry.

                    warning! temperature of wash!

                    warning! properties of fabric and dyes!

                    warning! cross contamination, germs, hygeine!

                    warning! without machine, very hard work but still possible!

                    warning! respiratory effects of damp air! mould likes this! mould is bad!

                    warning! money needed to purchase machine, run machine, purchase supplies!

                    if you don't like reading, watch a video, or ask someone to show you - do you have neighbours or relatives who can help?

        DM me that address and I'll order you a vegan cookbook and a box of ingredients.

        Cooking is just like anything else, it's practice makes perfect. You start with the easy shit and work your way up.
