Cleaning DEPRESSION HOME for free! 🥺❤️ 

ok but my question is if there was people faking having mental illness to get there house cleaned?

aww you are charming

Maybe an idea to clean a home from an elderly who is no longer capable?

You did not clean this house for "free" with good intention. You did it for the huge stack of RU-vid cash. There's nothing wrong with making a living on RU-vid, but there is a lot wrong with phony good deeds and pretending to be a good person in order to get a pat on the back and a reward. If you really want to do good for others with sincerity, don't record an ounce of it and tell no one else but the person you are helping out. Ever heard of "Don't tell your right hand what your left hand is doing."? There's a reason for that phrase.

Do you cry when listening to the stories of your followers?

Damn I like your profile picture

Haha

@@Popicat527 Oh dam

Hahaha she soo funny 😜😜

I'm feeling tired just from watching.

Can you come to Australia? 🥰🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

Exactly. My house got WAY WORSE. Ppl just don't understand. Now I'm with someone who loves me and helps me so much to keep a clean home.

I so agree with this!!!

I do my own depression cleaning 🧼

We actually have this, and it gets payd off the health insurance🙆🏻‍♀️

YES!!!!! and that she uses products that work not because she's solely endorsed by them.

Like she literally uses oven cleaner, dish soap, water, and power paste as well as a lot of elbow grease and an amazing attitude. She makes me laugh so much and makes it easy to clean like you don’t need to but anything to have a clean house.

@bina nocht She used scrub daddy products before she was sponsored. It's what she genuinely recommends. I started using scrub daddy products because of her and it really is amazing.

@bina nocht She doesn't use it daily, only in cases like these where she has limited time and needs to get it done quickly. She says at home or in other cases with minor stuff she uses more natural stuff, like vinegar and dishsoap.

bina nocht They are not, scrub daddy lasts 8 weeks on average, but if you take care of it it can last up to 2 months of regular use. It also doesn't stain or smell. It's a very heavy duty sponge. I use it daily. I've given up normal sponges cause they suck.

Aaaa so glad to hear this! This channel really does bring people together and spread awareness to this kind of condition ♡ sending all the love!

🌷👏👏👏 Friends are a girl's best diamonds 😍

Aww that’s so sweet from you and your friends so proud of you all, your story shows how even your closest ppl and friends can keep a huge and sad sides and secrets from you and the world and that’s really sad💔 I hope everyone struggling get the help they need🥺

Why she did not ask for help? She did not have to do anything, just say one sentence: please clean my place. I am just curious.

@@alicjagodlewska1059 That lady I can't tell, but I've heard several people say, afterwards, that they couldn't just expose a misery dont they didn't not even knew the reason. It is not like a broken leg. Some might say " Come on, I help, let's move, use your power" when the person doesn't have any, and is strugling to stand, eat and breath. ⚘🙏

She is so kind.kids should look up to her instead of some tiktok famous girl

@Tp Roll i know its sad the kindest people barely get noticed

@Tp Roll YASSSS

I just did this all day today Felt good

@@Carlie_flower good for you girl😁

I hope you find your smile again. ❤ I bounce back and forth

@@DabhandVindy Thank you! Same to you!🙏🏻

Agreed.

I was JUST thinking that- she’s a special angel

yea

I tend to do one major super clean and purge a year. I tell myself "ok. I'm keeping this place clean from now on!" I'll be good about it for a few weeks but then a small mess here and there ends up looking like a landfill in no time. I'll then put off doing a major clean for another year.

@@jzen1455 that’s pretty much how it is for me too! Every time I fully clean my apartment, I say to myself “okay I’m not gonna let it get like that again” and like you said, for a few weeks give or take, it’s easy to stay on top of it and then all of a sudden you lose momentum or motivation and before you know it, it’s a mess again. I haven’t gone a full year without cleaning, but I’ve had a month or several months of not cleaning. I just have to keep reminding myself that it’s so much better for my mental health to keep cleaning in my daily or weekly routines.

@@ashleyrebecca3991 I don't know if this helps you. But I kind of used my ex-girlfriend as an excuse for tidying up my flat. I drilled it into myself that it had to be tidy when she was over and that actually helped me staying on top of things for the entirety of that relationship. Afterwards I fell behind a bit. But I guess all that repetition paid off and my flat has never been in a state where I couldn't get it clean within a single day. In case you don't have a partner maybe try the same thing with a friend who visits regularly.

@@XMaster340 thank you! That usually does motivate me when my boyfriend comes over, so I have used that as a method too!

I just can't understand 😂😂

Cleaning is a hobby for me. It’s so fun

Lol..its really a different feeling when its someone elses stuff

cleaning is really fun in my opinion ! it helps me relax idk why but yes, its enjoyable ☺️🥰

@@trenacewhaley5447 truee its like you are doing a good thing for someone at the same time!

Aww girl you did the right thing ✨❤️❤️

Wow you are an AMAZING friend!

Tbh the "rude" thing you did helped her a lot because you wasn't rude at all! Wow you may even have helped her yo save her life. That's so amazing.

You are an angel! We need more people like you

Your an amazing friend

In Brazil if you hire a cleaner, she/he will judge and have no shame to ask “how your house got to this point” to something much less worse. I never forget when my niece was a baby and me (then recently fired) and my mom were dying to take care of her while still grieving my depressive sister’s suicide and I hired a team of cleaner’s because the house was a mess and I heard that question from one of them and even telling our life story, I saw on their eyes that they thought it was an excuse, and I also judged myself in that moment, feeling like I was really giving an excuse. One year later my mom almost died and since then I’m constantly overwhelmed and pulled away from my work attempts. Her mental issues got worse and the house needs a deep/heavy cleaning again, I have no time and strength and also I have no courage to hire someone to feel bad that way again…

Everything is fixable !

@@catinarezi seems like she has to make a trip to Brasil to help you !!!!

It really does so it makes it even harder to clean. I’m overwhelmed daily on where to start

i feel that

@@aubriep9648 same. Im desperate

@@aubriep9648 When people start projects a lot of work goes into it, planning, draft, presentation, and execution. I don't know where you are currently in life but starting out in a small area like the bathroom or closet, can make it seem more manageable. Feeling overwhelmed is normal in all aspects of life, you just gotta get the boat rocking! Wishing you the best of luck

Great work here by them ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YuHT9top8Hw.html

Totally agree this is an amazing thing and to support and not judge is an amazing trait to have. She really is an amazing person with a drive to clean 😂🥺💞

I agree ☝🏼

You should totally watch clean avengers too.

instead of saying we need more people like you... be like her

I wouldn’t say without judgement, she made a lot of remarks saying “this smells” “this is nasty”. What she did was amazing and selfless but the commentary wasn’t needed.

G'day, miliam! I was watching an American cleaning show called Midwest Magic Cleaning and the man who does it was imitating Aurikatariina in 1 of his videos. He said, "First we have to collect all the trashes."

At least she has a motivation to stay physically active :/ But it's still sad.

Yeah, I think it’s that desperate cling to the one thing that makes you feel better. I think we all know what we have to do and what is expected from society, but I could really see where she just didn’t have enough energy to go on, so that’s where all the unfinished things come from in the apartment. I am so glad she got help.

She was talking about the subsciver

Mental illness does show on you and does give you negative vibes that attracts all the negative things

I Think You misunderstood

😂😂😂 I had to go back n watch it again

😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Off topic but, your profile picture is adorable

I love 'lets collect all the trashes'

@@seungminsx thanks! Same to you. Love Roger!

how are you doing now?

You CAN do it

You got dis!

Agreed

So true - For most of us, it's easier (and sustainable) to work in 15-45 Minute blocks, with little breaks! And not do more than 1/2 day at a time, unless it's an 'emergency' Last fall my daughter and son- in law helped me go through things before moving - my daughter and I worked inside and he did outside, including the thrift store and dump runs. I had loved there 19 years, and some areas were pretty bad!

i agree. this video is sm awareness. ppl recently have been romanticising it. ur so sweet for doing this.

this made me relise maybe i have deoression, i just say 2i get down" most of my house is like this but i do take my bins out and wash up once a week but i can get to the point where everything is building up, but it is so hard to start, i look like ive just moved in too as i have stuff still in suitcases and boxes when i moved into my flat 21 months ago. i think i minimise my MH a lot

@@amsie_86 Have a talk with your doctor. I had depression for years now and didnt want to realise. There is a diffrence between lazieness and depression. My place looked similiar to the video and i hadent the energy to do simple things like cleaning my house or myself. Today i got a lot of help. My parents are aware of my issues and are helping me a lot (my mom cleaned my hole place). My doctor is involved and helps me when i feel down and not able to leave the bed. A few month ago i started the medication with my therapy and it is a completly diffrent life quality. Dont feel ashame or guilty. Its nor your fault and youre not lazy! Many ppl has the same problems

People who don’t understand will just say they’re lazy, unfortunately.

@@heyhey11793 wonderful thing about people is that they change, they change their mind, they can be persuaded and educated... thats why this si very important - I am saying this as a person that would just say "they dont want to even try to do better", but some people sat me down and gave me the first nudge to learn, which prompted me into extensive research about mental illnesses and now I can empathise with others, that have it so much harder in life than me. You never know what will give someone who is currently ignorant that "nudge".

I know still hope she got paid

@@coffeewiththeunknown8302 she's getting paid from the ads on this video she's fine

I would do it, because I know the struggle. And clearing your room / house out can really help you feel better ☺️ and sometimes the motivation to do so is really hard to find.

caring? She is fucking craving for attention and ignoring the subject

🫂☹️❤️

That was my thought too, it's a beautiful space :)

I agree

Yes, really nice indeed...!!!

My thoughts exactly 👍

That’s a typical studio apartment in Finland 🙂

YES!!!!

Same and I struggled with shame because my house wasn't clean. Depression is... a really dark place.

My kitchen looks a bit like this , not quite as bad, I have a toddler, we both work , I'm pregnant and I have a dog and cat also! Going to tackle it after this and coffee as I'm 'working from home' today

@@hellsbells1576 It happens. We all have this phases in life where we are overwhelmed. You have prioritize and other things were more important. I hope you manage to tackle your kitchen and you can enjoy the wonderful feeling of righteous rest afterwards. All the best to you and your family.

@@hederahelix4600 thanks:-) I tackled it it took me 4/ 5 hours ! So glad to be refreshed again!

I think it's a washer/dryer combo.

I love the way the bathrooms there!

And it makes so much sense! When you take your clothes off to shower, the washer is right there. And if the washer or the toilet were to overflow, it will go into a drain instead of flooding and ruining the floors.

Have you started cleaning yet hun? 🙂

Seems like it's fake because the Walls are so freaking clean. If the room is so dirty, there must have been some dirt on the walls

Huh?? Why would there need to be dirt on the walls that doesnt make sense😂

@@anupradhan8822 I don't know what you're doing to your walls but why would they get so dirty?? I mean as long as you're not deliberately throwing food or other stuff at them, or stepping on them with shoes and whatnot they don't really get dirty? Sure couple spidernets or dust or whatever but that's pretty much it 🤷🏻‍♀.

@@anupradhan8822 yea someone’s going to just go out of there to destroy and apartment to get someone else to do it ? Yea totally-

@@anupradhan8822 walls generally only get grubby when there is kids because they just love to put their grubby fingers on every clean surface possible. In a apartment with just 1 adult then there shouldn’t get much on the walls, even if the floor is filthy because the mess gets dropped onto the floors, not thrown onto the walls. The only walls I’ve ever seen be nasty in a single adult home is the wall next to toilet in an adult mans apartment (urine).

Lydia you are absolutely right. Anyway how are you doing?

My mother in law and father in law done this for me. Even stripped and made my little boys bed who was with another relative at the time ❤

Agreed. She's soo cutesy and sweet. ♥️

I’d LOVE LOVE to have her come to Australia. I’d go to any place with her to clean. I clean for a living so she’d be wonderful to work with!

Exactly. Sometimes i feel a bit better from the depression i have been in for years now. The only thing i see is my dirty apartment. 6 years of dirt. I feel overwhelmed. I made a challenge to get a full trashbag out in the trashcan per day at least....

Yep! I’ve been having some better days this past month and started tackling the chores I let pile up. While I’ve made some progress I still feel overwhelmed the remaining mess.

@@pinkglitter93 Good idea, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Do a bit each day, take breaks regularly. And set specific tasks, so that you aren't stuck looking around wondering where to start

There is a difference between getting help as you did, and letting others do all the cleaning.

Can I ask though what you mean by…no matter how hard you trued? Why weren’t you able to do it if you were actually trying? Why did someone else have to come in and do it? Either way, I’m just really glad you changed it and overcame that 🤗🤗

@@krisuler7734 a lot of people with depression don’t have motivation to do some/many things, i can relate to this because i’m depressed myself and although i’m a pretty clean person, there are many things i struggle to do just because of lack of motivation, hope this answered your question :)

@@krisuler7734 not op but someone with major depressive order here: people with depression, anxiety, adhd, etc. can experience extreme lack of motivation and energy at times which makes it difficult to clean (or do simple things like shower, brush teeth, eat, etc.). it's like if you've run an entire mile without breaks and once you're finished you just have to sit down and rest

I never had a real depression but seriously it sounds like hell of a state to be in. Like a uroboros biting its own tail. You get depressed-you dont feel like doing anything-everything gets bad-you feel depressed from the stare-you get more depressed-dont clean even more and round and round. F* depression, really

Yes. I wish I had any help like that in my depression periods....

@@danaondrackova3431 Yep, it’s a downward spiral. Even if you’re kind of managing it just takes one little thing to throw you off - like getting a cold or a bad day at work.

@Anizhan just keep strong you are not alone. The word of God says, there is no temptation taken us but which is common unto men, but God is faithful and just to keep us. So, I say this to say, you are not the only one going through these stuff. I have a church sister who goes through it, hers is really deep, not even her baby she can take care of when she is depressed, Just praying to God she never goes into it again, for it's not nice. Sending love from Jamaica 🇯🇲

Same here. I am depressed, see the house, get more depressed. Huge circle

Yes… I love this girl

Yes, I‘ve cleaned the room of my depressed ex girlfriend before we were a couple and it took a whole day of hard work and now I struggle years later to clean my own messy flat for more than an hour.

I would find it easier to clean someone else's place too, I like the idea of helping others but dealing with my own mess makes me feel helpless. I wont be reflecting on my failures, berating myself and feeling both emotionally and physically drained if I were to clean the apartment of another person I cared about.

i don't know why but i agree😭🤝

Yeah same for me. Guess we could just change and clean each others home... but I live in Germany :-D

I agree... At work for example I'm nearly a perfectionist in cleaning up but at home? I just can't. No motivation.

I think the shows just do it for a reaction or like are being over dramatic or something along the lines of that I cannot word anything good right now as I have gotten no sleep lol

@@dianewimett185 i don't think that anything is "wrong" with you but maybe you are not well mentally. I mean there is a reason why it's called depression room. But other things like ADHD can lead to rooms like that aswell. Maybe you don't have the power to clean sometimes but don't be too hard on yourself :)

Thankfully my apartment never got this bad but mine was still pretty bad. I had more space haha so that's why it didn't look as bad. Depression isn't anything to joke about and my bf would be like omg I'm depressed too but my house is always clean.... 🤐🙄😑😶

I agree with you! She's adorable and so inspiring!

I have arthritis and depression and honestly sometimes just someone coming to do the laundry and help put it away would make SUCH a difference. But for a lot of people that’s a very easy thing to do. It’s not like you need a special talent or anything. :)

@@TrappedinSLC that's what i thought... hope you stay well :))

I hate that so many of the comments in her videos and tiktoks are judgemental when she’s so kind.. People need to be more understanding like her

@@sm-xe9xs Exactly

Did we watch the same video? She made a lot of sarcastic comments.

When you're deep in depression you become comfortable with the mess, sometimes even unaware. My dad came over to help me clean my house when I was having a breakdown, I didn't realize how bad it was. This woman is an angel 😇 💖

Yes, true! I know it from my own depression.

I've found that doing one small thing is key. If it's picking up some trash, great. Washing a few dishes, fantastic. Putting some clothes in the wash, dusting one shelf... Start with whatever is in front of you and start small. Just one thing at a time, and appreciate that you got that done. You don't need to do everything in one go. Just one thing :)

wow Ana, I did not even catch that. She is very nice person.

Exactly, I think the same

That is so true... although ppl would love a reaction usually anxiety comes with depression and I couldn't imagine asking someone to be so vulnerable on camera.

You're right ! I completely agree with you !

Very rare indeed....many people pitch in to help for the image it gives them in others eyes. This lady here shows that it's unnecessary to do this...bc I view her as a hero without seeing the entire picture.

True and it's so modern like I have so many ideas how you could decorate it (go to the thrift store for cheap pictures and frames,print out art at the copy store. Wikipedia for example has all of van goghs art in big size/high resolution. BANG you have an expensive-looking art picture wall for a budget. You can color wooden frames with acrylic paint)

@ anna jansen Yes! I was thinking the same thing. Her room looks so cute already. Just give it a touch of nice wall paintings, maybe even some nice colorful flowers will vibrant her room much more. Hopefully it will make her a little more happy too :3

@@annajansen6945 It would be great if she had a table. Speaking from experience, eating in bed it's not good for depression.

Just wondering as I see this was 15 hours ago, how did it go? How much did you do? I realize that question could come off a bit mean but hey, if you cleaned off your desk or something small that’s great,

She is an angel. 💗 I have just started cleaning again. 🧡

And some oven cleaner

I've realised in life that many things just need water to clean them. I clean my windows with just water and they're just as clean as the ones that were sprayed with Ajax. The only thing I can't remove with just water and dish soap is limescale.

I to have depression. I know what it feels like when you have no motivation non energy to clean something as simple as your room and house.

@@KyleEvra you hi jiii

Same, I have to force myself to clean when my depression is at its worst. I feel a little better when my space is clean. The work up is the problem. My counselor told me to place things that need to be toss in a bin/ trash bag and keep other things in their designated place after I use them. Trash still accumulates but its in a bag that I can quickly toss and dishes are in a bin tote so I can quickly get and wash them, when I work up the power to do it.

I struggle with this too! One small thing that helps a little is that I try to gather accumulated glasses/dishes/garbage in the morning and take them out of my room on my way to the kitchen, so at least there’s less food yuck in my bedroom.

Thought it was just me

I struggle as well. It's like a vicious cycle. Depressed with no motivation, then clean some areas while others stay neglected, but feel good about what has been accomplished. Then the switch flips back off again and nothing gets cleaned for weeks. I'm in a cleaning mood right now (this afternoon) but am on a short break looking for inspiration to keep going

Pretty much everyone has depression

I agree, most of us are normal and won't judge them. But there are some pieces of shit out there who would harrass them.

Hey, if nobody has told you today, you are strong, so strong, and I am VERY proud of you. Remember, even if you did just clean your living room, heck, if just tidied up a single pillow, progress is progress. Keep going!!!

Was going to comment this too! 👍

Yes. I am a professional organizer and also do deep cleaning. As someone with many years on Auri, I can personally attest that these exposures add up over your life. So please wear a respirator and protect your younger self. Your older self will thank you. Be well Auri, we luv ya!

Yup, it can be so harmful. I’m recovering from mold illness so this resonates with me.

Aurikatariina, Please use some disinfectant on surfaces.

@@donnamaco1 - I use 50% warm water + 50% white vinegar in a spray bottle, with a few drops of essential oil mixed in for a clean scent. My favorites are grapefruit & eucalyptus. Kills germs without too much toxicity. However, where mold or real filth is involved (toilets, litter boxes, etc.), I do use bleach & then rinse, rinse, rinse with plain water after disinfecting.

First of all, please don't feel guilty. You try the best you can. Just try again when you feel strong enough.

I used to be so bad to the point I had mold growing on a ton of dishes in my room, my floor was covered, my trash was overflowing, my laundry was so full. I’ve always been a tidy person so it was an all time low for me. I would avoid anyone from being in my room because I was so ashamed and just disgusted with myself. I was also in a very unhealthy relationship at the time so I was just falling apart. What dragged me out of that was videos like this, it felt better to clean with someone, it didn’t feel as much as a chore. People who make videos like this are such amazing people, especially this women for going out of her way for free, to help people.

don't try to "finish", try to do a little everyday, and reward yourself for what you did even if it's not much.

I'm with you, it's so hard. Don't try to do it all at once, just one thing at a time. I started with one thing and soon I could do more and more. Good luck. ❤️

Highly recommend checking out a book called "unf*ck your habitat" it helped me stop marathon cleaning and crashing so much. It's all habits. Clean like 10 mins a day. If you're going to the kitchen take something with you that goes there, like a plate or cup. Little things can make a big difference. I hope you're doing better, it's a fight for sure, but it is a battle you can win!

That’s what I needed a second chance in life

It really can be and sometimes puts you back into a depression because it gets you overwhelmed again and ashamed and makes you feel like you can’t do anything right including keeping your home clean.

@@cheyennehicks3399 exactly this. I come out, see it, try to figure out where to start, and then get overwhelmed and fall right back into the depressive state. I hate it.

@@kaitlynboggs799 yes!!!

This is one of many things I didn't know about depression. It's very painful to 'wake up' and see clearly the mess you've made (literally or figuratively), and realize that you're going to have to spend your fragile, exhausted recovery time tackling a mountain of things that need fixing. FWIW, for anybody still going through it...it IS possible to plan around the eventuality of your next (for most of us inevitable) depression...so that it's milder and gentler, and you don't backslide so far. It takes time, and trial and error...but it can be done. I'm doing it! Not perfectly, always, but every little bit helps, you know? Figuring out your warning signs (it's dishes accumulating in the sink and backed up laundry for me), figuring out the tools that help you push through, and reminding yourself to use them. (Music! Tea! Hugs! Remembering that if you don't clear the sink it's definitely going to be 5000000x worse later, and anyway you've timed it MULTIPLE times now, so you know and can remind yourself that even though it seems impossible right now to wash a sink full of dishes it's actually only going to take you ten minutes or less, after which your life will be measurably improved, and knowing that makes it possible to get started, and getting started is the hardest part....etc.)
