@@rayrei8620 pls shut up. I have chronic depression too. They obv didnt mean she literally cures them, but a good clean environment is a very great start to a better mindset.
I went through the same thing. She's not alone. I ended up retiring at 28 because of the same disorder. I'll be 40 next year, and they've just finally found a medication that's actually working the way you'd think they should. The bedding you got her is pretty. Thanks for being there for folks like us, Auri. 💕
This is a tough disorder to deal with. My X- Hus had this. We found out five yrs. into our marriage/in 1985. He did not take this well, In fact, he refuse to help himself/no medication. He became an insist alcoholic and gained 30 pounds all within 3 months. Disagreeable is putting it lightly. I, wasn't happy with his ignoring his problems, but I was happy knowing what the yeck was wrong with him. Coming home, night after night, mostly in a bad mood, taking everything out on me, you did this, you did that, I don't like you're cooking/ which he loved. I would described as bouncing off the walls. Soooo, A.D. We tried high doses of Calcium, every day. as prescribed by my vitamin counselor, remembering he was heavy weight, 200pds and 5' 9". It worked. But, he didn't want to continue. Why, he is my X-hus. I'm taking them, and feel much better, I'm 75. Thk yu.. 😀😀
Update: It's a healthy little boy. ❤️ Thank you everyone for heartwarming comments! I'm in labor now, but hoping to finish the whole episode before having to head to the hospital 😅 I think I'm truly addicted to Auri's episodes.
Yes Auri! I’m so happy you’re wearing a mask. I fear for your health with the chemicals, molds, dust, dirt, etc. It all adds up over time. Seriously, on the insurance disability scale, professional house cleaning is considered hazardous work.
Yes, Diane, me too, was afraid for her health and plus I hve seen some bugs running around at times. That could bring diseases, so we worry about you A. 😁
It is true about the chemicals, but a mask won't help with them. Ensuring air circulation while using them would be good. With the dirt, often the opposite is true. For example people who are working with waste waters all day are the healthiest of all.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor no. She is right. Because for this porpuse you have biohazards. People like you might also still believe it holds back viruses. It doesn't.
@Jana Lumina masks are more for concerns with mold. Breathing in the mold spores can cause permanent lung scarring and some types will even grow inside your lungs.
@@bisibisbi It's actually quite possible that they will since it was the church people who contacted Auri for her. The church in Finland have many kinds of help programmes for people in need. Of course the society and the wellfare department of Finland helps a lot too, especially with the housing and living expenses. But usually It's the every day life things, like helping with the cleaning and grocery shopping, where the church help programmes reach people more easily.
Wow that’s great. When my single mom was terribly sick and I to young to do cleaning she asked our church if they could provide any help, she was told to hire a cleaning person, but we had not enough money left to do so. This happened in Germany 45 years ago. Maybe it’s different today, I don’t know.
my dad was bipolar and spent a huge chunk of his life untreated because he couldn't afford medication. His bedroom and bathroom were always a huge mess and stank like hell. Still, he was a wonderful person and did his best to be a good father and person even in the depths of mental illness. I miss you dad.
I have bipolar disorder too. I am a 46 year old lady from Brazil. I am feeling very lucky that I got really good treatment, it took just a year in hell for me to find the right combination. I am well, I work, I exercise, I do therapy every week and I have an adorable cleaner that comes every couple of weeks. I am so grateful for my cleaner, my therapist and my few friends who understand what a struggle this disease is. I have a few episodes here and there, but for the most part I feel normal and function well.
That is really good news. but, a person with this disorder has to be open minded and has to go forward with that help. My X- Hus didn't, but I think he was afraid of his family's opinion of any mental disorder/ they are the PERFECT family.
@@tabathia7633 I'm sorry he felt like that. It is common for people to think mental disease will make them "less". Some members of my family are still of the opinion that "if I feel I need it", like it is not real. Well, it is "all in my head", but that does not make it any less real.
@@theboujieproletariat I felt it was warranted to let people know that bipolar is manageable. It is not easy, nor cheap, but it can be done. It takes a lot of effort, a lot of persistence and while someone is unwell this is hard to get. I was lucky that I was (mis)diagnosed as depressive first, got treatment and got to experience how it is to feel well, to feel "normal". Years later, when I was diagnosed bipolar, I knew what I was aiming for and why I had to get through the rough times.
@@antiantipoda I'm not quite sure what you mean, but this my X's family, everyone is perfect and they didn't want me into that realm of perfectness. Everything was my fault, they lied to make it my fault. So, this disorder was also a genetic from his father and his brother on the father's side, talk about hiding!!!!! The whole family was messed up. I'm very glad I'm out, for some 30 years now. But, my X- hus died around six yrs ago, facing four yrs. prison term. He is all over the internet. p.s. Tabathia isn't my real name, to protect the innocence. 😍😍
I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 years ago. I had graduated college with 8 distinctions & an award for the most promising student. Although I’m getting treatment now- I feel like there isn’t a job that would be understanding. One of the few things that makes me feel better is watching these videos & keeping my space clean so I don’t become stuck in a depression nest.
Congratulations on your achievements! 🎉 I have mental health issues myself, mainly PTSD and also struggled with finding an understanding job for a long time. Part time work and/or short contracts helped me to know there isn’t the pressure of having to be in work all the time, or to stay in a job for years etc, if I am not well. I didn’t believe there were understanding employers out there, but I was surprised once I started to be honest! Good luck 🤞
My daughter has BP2 and has the same issues. Not sure where you are, but in the US, this is considered a disability and jobs have to give reasonable accommodation. Something is out there for you. Sending virtual hugs.
There are so few jobs that would understand, a fewer that would "chance" taking someone like us in. But to the public we're "lazy" and we need to just "get over it". They don't really understand the treatments and length and mental fire jumps we have to go through just to get out of bed in the morning, or night. Then when you try to apply for government benefits, things you paid taxes into for most of your life, people say you're "living off the government" while the government says "You have legs, you can work". I just.. can't with this country anymore. But I'm too poor to leave. I know other countries can be bad too, but others are *better* than here. America just doesn't care about it's people unless they're stacked with cash. God forbid you stray off the white straight rich man path. -_-; Sorry, ranting.. What I meant to say is, I understand you on a painfully personal level.
Dear Auri 🤗 Every Sunday I can‘t wait to see your new video. You must be heaven sent to this people who need your help so much. I know what I am talking about. I was Many years abusing alcohol. My home was a nightmare! Now, I am sober for over 5 years. I cleaned my life and my home. Now I also help people getting and staying sober. It also helps me. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart from Germany ❤
I like that you’re able to clean for free because we watch! You’re helping an individual, some people are learning how to clean, some people feel less alone, and some people are curious. If I’m mindlessly viewing, I like that I’m helping you to help. Quite a change from the rest of the junk I watch. Social media is to blame for many social ills. This is one place where it helps loads of people. Keep it up! And for free!
Omg! I have bipolar disorder, and I know this feeling too well. Your videos have helped me clean my house so many times, it gives me the motivation I need! That's literally why I am watching right now, to get some motivation to clean my apartment 🥺
I have bipolar disorder too, I LOVE to clean, it's a hobby for me! But when I'm depressed it's so hard to move and to do the things I love. My home gets so messy and I feel so sad and guilty. But when I'm back on my feet, there's nothing I look forward to more, than an extra good clean! A clean home helps me feel so much better. Thank you for helping Eva feel the happiness a clean home can bring ❤️💗
You know, there's a reason people who are struggling reach out to you specifically. Over and over again, you prove yourself to be a safe person. You don't treat mental health like a taboo. You treat us like just another person. You talk about the situation you're working with in a matter-of-fact way. You don't baby the homeowner, and you don't blame them. It's such a relief when someone sees our struggles and doesn't immediately write us off as failures. You're tactful and respectful. That's why I love this channel so much.
Very well said! I agree. I have felt at times in my life that I am just a step or two away from being in a situation like one of the ones depicted in her videos. But I’d never be afraid of her coming to help. She’s so kinda and matter of fact and understanding and she just wants to help. It’s so pure.
What an amazing transformation! Bless you Auri! I wish we had European style bathrooms in the US where we could use a hose and really deep clean the walls and floors. I accidentally got the upstairs bathroom floor too wet when I was cleaning and now my kitchen ceiling has huge water stains. What a mess I created for myself.
Not all European bathrooms are designed that way, unfortunately. I have to be careful with mine, can't spray it down like Aurikatarina does in many of her videos.
it's sadly not this case in every european country, some are only partially wet rooms, but this style is super practical with the drain in the floors and the washable walls, so so good, I don't know why the rest of the world doesn't design their bathrooms like this. And if you think about it, kitchens could use a similar design as well, like big industrial kitchens (for example in hospitals or big universities) have drains in the floor too, so the cleaning is much more efficient and comfortable. If possible and with the permission, I want to design my own home with a bathroom and kitchen like this. I'm sure you use more water this way but that's a downside I'm willing to consider and be careful about.
Ja živim u Srbiji i u kupatilu imamo pločice i na podu i po celim zidovima a u kuhinji na podu.Neki standard je da na zidu gde su kuhinjski elementi idu pločice 1.5 m .Možemo lepo sve oprati vodom bez bojazni.
The transformation is amazing, Auri. Removing the clutter and then cleaning it all does wonders for the mind and soul. Fresh and sparkly new start for Eva!! 💖
I have Bipolar disorder and cleaning is so hard. My house looks like these apartments sometimes when I’m going through a depressive episode. Your videos, advice, kind words and mindset have helped me sooo much. I recently spent 2 days doing a deep clean and organization of my house. AND I’ve started saying, “start with the trashes.” 😂 Sending you many thanks and love.
I sometimes wonder if Florence Ballard David Ruffin Brian Jones and Dennis Wilson had it. Auri you are a blessing to have for so many folks. You don't judge just help.
Lol your knitting analogy is PERFECT! It's hard to pinpoint exactly why you love something so much but finding joy in it and sharing that gift with others is what is most important
I have a lifelong friend that was diagnosed with bipolar disorder back in 1983 at age 20. He lives in a one room apartment located in community supported housing and works very part time. His entire life has been a series of medications, substance abuse, lost jobs, and health struggles. He is brilliant, creative and two years sober while on a medication that finally offers some relief from the demons he lives with each day. I love him dearly and am so happy this ladies church family noticed she needed help and contacted you. I hope they can also find a way to help her maintain it in the future now that you have gotten it started.
I watch your videos as an encouragement. I myself struggle with anxiety and depression and cleaning is truly not a priority for me. And yet every time I hear how kindly you speak about these people, how lovingly you understand them and when you talk about breaking the cycle, starting new or just doing something small like taking out the trash that would push you to a better place it helps me to see my home in a different light
Bipolar disorder is such a terrible disease. It has the highest suicide rate among them all and it's both hard to diagnose and hard to treat, trying to find the right medications who are often very heavy and cause severe apathy. The bipolar patient very often give up treatment either because it's on a manic episode, feeling invincible or because the meds aren't working as they should, only causing colateral effects. I'm sure Eva really appreciate your help.
Dear Aurikatariina, I can understand both sides. I have a broken soul and I'm often depressed. At this stage, my cooking counter and oven are full of pots, pans, plates, and mugs. I can't wash the dishes by hand. In the bedroom, next to the computer, empty water bottles, coffee mugs, used t-shirts and socks are piled up. I feel better after a few days and then the clutter and chaos pisses me off. Then I tidy up, wash the dishes and wipe everything clean. Then I like it and I'm happy again. It's a good feeling when everything is clean again. Kind regards, Frank
Auri, I wanted to stop by and say a huge thank you for everything you do. I have ADHD and have struggled for so long to keep on top of things, but yesterday I cleaned my flat from top to bottom with your videos as company. It has never looked this good! You've taught me that nothing is unsalvageable, and that any mess can be overcome with the right help. Your focus on the people behind the mess has made me feel so much less alone. Thank you so, so, so much. Merry Christmas :)
My husband and I both have ADD too..we have always had issues with getting our house organized and clean. I get so overwhelmed, so easily. The other day I was able to put on this video and it really motivated me to just start. I didn't do a lot, but it felt so good! I'm about to continue now. :) I'm proud of you! I know the struggle so well. Wishing you a happy holiday! ❤️
I struggle with depression and anxiety and sometimes is SO difficult to me to clean my house or even myself and the feeling of everything being a mess is so miserable, thank you so much for helping people, not just cleaning their houses, but making these videos; I feel motivated to clean when I see you. You're so sweet about these problems and I think is so important for people to know that is not a dirty person, or someone who is grosss; is just a human who is having a bad time. All my love and support ❤️
My sister has bipolar since my mum died 18 months ago caused by depression. So I have seen what it can do to someone, my heart truly goes out to her. You’re so amazing to help her and her church are so so lovely reaching out to you it’s so lovely when you have a supportive loving church family who care. 😢 I truly hope she’ll love her house now you’ve cleaned it and be able to live better. Broke my heart seeing her bed, how come in most of your videos people don’t have a proper bed they’re like jail mattresses on a bed so thin and don’t look comfortable. I pray that people may help those that need it the most and donate what they can to them in need 💓💓💓
Never knew about Bipolar until a friend in the community was diagnosed with it. She was very extreme, doctors said worst they’d ever seen. Medication brought her down and she didn’t like the feeling so she wouldn’t stay on her meds. Overtime her meds would also quit working and she would have to go on another medication. She’s 70 now. She stays on meds, so she never goes manic anymore, but she talks slow and seems Solum all the time. This chemical unbalance is a horrible condition. Taught me to be patient and be understanding-watching from Lake Wales, Florida
Wow the difference is astronomical. No wonder this lady was so happy and smiled probably for the first time in a long time. Your amazing keep up the incredible work you do for ppl in need of a helping hand xx
I've watched other cleaning videos, but none are as enjoyable as yours. Your joy and love of cleaning come through in your voice, you give great cleaning tips, and it's interesting hearing the peoples' stories.
I love your videos and how you make peoples lives better by cleaning up peoples houses for free who are in need. You are so wholesome and kind. So that’s why I’m subscribed, so I can help support your business.
@@corinaseifert4246 Try a bit of liquid laundry detergent in the water instead! Dishwashing liquid/soap is made to lather a lot because customers like that, it's easier to see where you have used it already and it doesn't run off the dishes too fast, but if you can't rinse it off like the dishes it often leaves streaks or residue. The cleaning products for the washing machine or dishwasher are made to *not* lather, since that is not useful inside the machine, this is perfect when doing windows, mirrors or other shiny things :)
Hi Auri, thank you for cleaning the home of this lady. Really good job! I always see in your videos that most of the people really need a new mattress. A clean new mattress is so important for health reasons. Would you consider to set up a fund where we as followers can donate money which you can spend on things that really need to be renewed for health reasons in the homes you clean? It also sad to see that many of these people have money issues, so they probably cant afford these kind of changes. It would also be lovely to give them a new bank, mattress or new fridge. Or just a new rug and some decorations to beutify their home. Hope you will consider this idea. I would love to donate to such a great idea.
I've been diagnosed schizoaffective. It can be difficult to maintain grooming and homecare sometimes. I'm glad to see you do this service for free to those who couldn't afford to pay. In my country, it's not a free service to have a professional cleaner your home. If you can't afford to pay, it falls next of kin or caregivers when you're too sick to clean yourself. Which can be a strain on mental and physical health of loved ones.
I'm an electric therapy patient for bipolar and its such a hell of a disorder, I can't work or go out without major effort and right now I'm still looking for meds that will help, I'm so happy to see her getting the help she needs. Thank you so much for everything you do Aurikatariina, I know it has to mean the world to these people
Auri, I’m Colombian and I live in China. I Started watching your videos around a year ago and I love how caring and sweet you are. Las month I was talking about you with some of my friends and I realized they already knew who you were!!!! 🎉. I can happily say that people from Brazil, Cuba and Russia here see all your videos and appreciate your advices for cleaning. Hugs and keep the hard work, people need you!
It’s so glorious, what you do. And how you make such a huge difference in people’s lives. It must be a little frustrating for you, to leave your perfect cleaning job with less than perfect furnishings. Or stained flooring. It would be so awesome to see you be able to collaborate with someone who deals in secondhand furnishings, who would also be willing to donate their items to help upgrade for someone like Eva. Additionally, a handyman who could donate to fix the broken things or repair/ replace flooring, etc.
Auri is happy that she pronounces "squeegee" correctly now. But since I've watched her videos, I have began pronouncing it like she used to, with the hard "g". Because it's so cute!
ur so sweet for cleaning someone’s house for free, bless u, environment makes such a difference when depressed or dealing with mental struggles, i’ve experienced it myself. ur helping ppl. ❤️❤️
I love your videos! You are the sweetest most kindest person! Because of you I've really learned how to clean a house! I just moved and they had the place "deep cleaned" before I moved in and I can't believe how bad it was, underneath the refrigerator was practically a crime scene! I got my scrub mommy, power paste and scraper (all new to me because of you) and went to town and the house is so clean now! You are an angel for what you do!
My heart goes out to Emma but there has to be something else for her... I use to be told I might be bipolar and acted pretty much the same way. FINALLY, after years of no anti depressant working I found the greatest doctor EVER. Instead of just randomly diagnosing me with A B C... I was referred to a psychiatrist. It happened to fall on a day when I was having one of my episodes. Instead of being a 'business' and rescheduling and telling me (i'm not worth it) by doing that - that cant literally make a person feel worse being treated as a statistic. The Nurse/receptionist asked me if there was anything she could do to help me get past my block and if I was able to video conference on my phone. NOT in 30+ years has ANYONE ever been so kind to me in a professional field. I burst into tears and we sorted it out for me to stay at home and have my appointment. This wonderful psychiartrist diagnosed me with CPTSD from being a victim of multiple crimes that went untreated and not talked about all my life. He said I had NO quality of life like normal functioning people and I deserve that. There was NO talk of heavy medicating me to make it worse (quality) instead I was referred to my States Crime Services to get specialised trauma counselling. This is special training and not every psychiatrist, doctor, counsellor or psychologist is QUALIFIED in this field. They must have the qualifications to give therapy. I feel Emma needs something like this... it's all great that her episodes are uncontrol.. but 40+ years of no quality is not a way to have lived your life. It broke my heart when I realised this about myself (i've lived and fight or flight mode all my life - can't keep friends, relationships or a job). I really hope Emma finds someone who can truly help her. I've been in therapy 6 months now and many more years to come, but it IS changing my life and I'm less 'fight or flight' now because I understand. Hugs EMMA
Literally an angel on earth not only she understands all of these people but also willing to help them the best as she could😢 i love you so much. Thank you for everything your existence is gem to mankind😢
I have always wanted to do something similar and clean for someone suffering from mental or physical illness, but don't know where and how to look for one of those people. I love cleaning, although I am not professional.. it is just so satisfying. And think something like this could be a great way to help someone while also having fun!
I am 33. I have been diagnosed with bipolar since I was 15. It takes a lot of mental awareness and hard work but I am a mother of 5 (pregnant with #6) and so thankful I got help early and realized what as going on with my head. It’s a constant challenge with hormone changes from aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, PCOS, etc. it’s so important for people to acknowledge mental health issues and receive help but to also know it doesn’t mean it’s the end of your story! When I was diagnosed I was constantly being told what I couldn’t do or achieve because of my mental health issues and I have loved proving them wrong!!! Also wanted to add been married to my wonderful husband for 14years 😊
There are plenty kind, generous and mature people in their 20's. It's the people in their 60's, 70's, 80's that are so detached from reality and the real world that they think the "youth of today" is whatever Fox News (Non-political, it's a popular "news" network elderly people watch) tells them it is. You know, eating babies, sacrificing rent for a cup of coffee, ect. Stupid things gullible shut ins believe.
@@liamlowenthal8476 I agree. I had a high-school friend, I'm dating myself a bit here I'm in my 50s and this was in the 80s, who was bipolar. We're in touch but loosely. When we started driving I remember the the waves between manic when he would be impulsive, and then then the depressed periods where I would drive over and for hours for him just to get out of bed😔 I totally get.
I love how she is so sweet, when she said “they need their money more than me.” It made me realize that, she cares about people who struggles a lot. I really love how confident and sweet she is
Greetings from NYC, USA 🇺🇸. Wishing you and all the viewers happy holidays. Thank you for your inspiring videos and for your giving spirit throughout the year by helping those by giving them a fresh start and a clean home. You are a very special person and are appreciated by so many around the world. Merry merry
When I see this I am kind of grateful, that I got my diagnosis so early. I mean, it sucked finding out to deal with my bipolar disorder at age 15, but I had my safety net still and incorporated it into all parts of my life. I think it helps me prevent that it gets this far as this home. I hope it stays that way, and I hope that girl will be able to find her routines in both episodes...
Thank you for sharing your passion with us. I have learned so many new cleaning techniques from your videos. As someone that suffers from anxiety, and depression, I completely understand what it’s like not having the energy to clean even though I so badly want to. Your kindness and compassion is amazing. The way you shed a light on mental health is wonderful. Not too many people talk about the raw unfiltered effects mental health has on those suffering and the people around them. Thank you for everything you do for those that need it most. You are an Angel on this earth.
I've been sick for about a month now - first Covid, then an ear infection. I've had to take very strong anti-biotics for the ears and it makes me nauseated on each dose. I have had little to no energy, and in just that short amount of time I feel like my house went from clean to cluttered and dingy. Not filthy (yet) but if I kept going this way it would be in no time. It's scary how quickly it can all happen. I think the difference is that I would try to find help if it got too bad because I wouldn't be able to stand any dirt/grime. I focus on washing up my dishes and scrubbing out the toilet, and I've let the dust and surfaces go. I can't wait to get my energy back so I can do a deep clean! (Meds end this week!) I feel for people for whom this is not temporary. I hope she is able to keep up on it!
Auri, we can't say it enough...you are an Angel. What you do for all those people is really life changing. Sometimes it needs a push like this to get his/her life in order. I love what you do.
Ur such a kind person helping these people ,I have bi polar have done for 25 years having said that I understand how people with mental health issues vary so much ,I work 7 days a week as a housekeeper in a pub / b&b for me work is what keeps me happy routine is so important and I'm so lucky my boss is more like family I love my job and it helps my mental health , I hope all the work u do makes such a positive impact for the tenants, it must do . Keep up the great work x
I play your videos for motivation. I have ADHD and it's tough for me to stay on track, so I play your videos to help. When I see others clean it makes me also want to get up and start cleaning, so it's almost like I'm tricking my brain, haha. Thank you for posting all of these videos. I know it's got to be so tough filming and trying to clean. Making sure we see all of the angles..I really am grateful. Thank youu!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
You are an angel on earth. You gave Eva a fresh start. At same time you are helping to your followers. Some of us have some mental problems. I am doing my house on times, it is messy but in control. My bathroom is always clean and my kitchen sink, cooker and counter food preparation too. I have a list for cleaning, that has helped. Using tips as for example First trashes,🤣😍😍😍
Ever since I m watchign you and you recommending dish soap for grease in bahtrooms, I cant get enough of using it!!!! In my student apartment, I take the bathroom duty just cuz of how the taps look after I wash them with dish soap! :D I love how your videos motivate me to clean
Yes, because of you I am using kitchen cleaner for nearly everything, since four weeks. It is really nice, how good it works and in the bathroom things are so shiny after cleaning. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for what you do! I have bipolar disorder and can sympathize with this video so much! I'm not as bad off, and I have a partner I live with that helps me. Bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and more are so hard.
I love your videos. You have given me so many great tips and your enthusiasm for cleaning is contagious! I watch your videos to motivate me. Thank you for making these videos and helping these people!! Beautiful.
I hope that I can help others in the same way that you are doing when I finish my degree. I love how you do free cleanings to help those who need it most.
Regarding the laundry: In the USA, you can send your regular laundry out for wash-and-fold service. Most places charge by the pound. If you have too much laundry to handle on your own, perhaps try a laundry service to get on top of it? Not sure if they have the same type of service in Finland.
I am someone who loves finding new hobbies and I am always very excited when I get into something, and Auri, you really got me into cleaning! I still need to learn how to be more efficient cleaning bathrooms, so bathrooms and cleaning windows are my least favorite, but I really enjoy cleaning in general and now my house is always fresh and nice! But I don't have any friends who love cleaning like I do, like other hobbies I have that I don't know anyone to share the excitement with, so I totally understand what you mean with that hahhaha
It really strikes me how the different types of Bipolar affect people differently. I am Bipolar 1 and often swing to mania even with Lithium and Seroquel, which for me partly manifests in an type of OCD where my house is incredibly clean and organised to the point of everything has to match in style, colour and brand for items both hidden and visible (not expensive, although I have "had" to replace everything during mania swings), and it really hurts my heart to see it manifest in other people this way, because I know without doubt it's beyond their control even though it's hurting them.
My kiddo (22) has type 2 and 80% of her episodes are depressive. It's all she can do some days just to get out of bed, much less shower. It's heartbreaking to not be able to help much.
@@Harloween74 I'm sorry to hear that, but know you really are helping because you obviously care so much! I honestly think the depressive swings are the hardest, and I understand what you're talking about...sometimes I can't even lift my head up and can't eat or drink. Just a personal experience, although I'm quite new to it I've found Lithium has helped me greatly.
Watching an listening to their life stories an seeing before an after pictures makes me cry sometimes it is so beautiful an the feeling for these peoples homes are renewed when it so clean. I wish I could have help with my home to get it organized an cleaned decluttered.
The bipolar disorder is difficult to treat, the mania is more difficult than the depression. In the video you can see that this is an intelligent human, who tried really hard to live/survive anyhow. With help she will make it.
When you have all three coming at you, both BPD's and Major Depression, you're just kinda like... unsure if you're even you anymore. When I shouldn't be depressed, I am. When I have a chance to not have six different personality disorder issues come out, they do. When my mania pops in for a quick hello, I'm on the floor crying. I spend my days fighting off the weasels in my brain telling me there's no point in living. My logic never suffered, you know? I *know* I'm better than this. So.. watching these videos, not just hers but everybody who does hoarder cleaning or helper cleaning? They help me a little. They at least help me get off the couch and clean off the coffee table, and that helps me maybe eat something other than a protein shake. It's hard, especially with how the world is acting right now. My country specifically, since.. you know.. I live here. It's always worse when you're in the middle of it, you know? But other people have it worse, and I want to remind myself, I do have people who care and I am a somewhat capable human. So maybe do the laundry, at least a load. Ranting again.. Yes, things are hard to treat. But I'm in a better place than I was when that treatment started. It's going to be a long time before I feel any kind of "normal" though. I just have to make sure I'm here to give it a chance.
Auri is singlehandedly curing all of the depression in Finland
Depression can't be 'cured' by a clean room. She is helping immensely but she isn't 'curing' it. Speaking as someone with chronic depression.
@@rayrei8620 I don't think they were being literal lol
@@rayrei8620 I think it's a start....there is no actual 'cure' of course, but kindness helps...
@@rayrei8620 well filth certainly doesn’t help
@@rayrei8620 pls shut up. I have chronic depression too. They obv didnt mean she literally cures them, but a good clean environment is a very great start to a better mindset.
I went through the same thing. She's not alone. I ended up retiring at 28 because of the same disorder. I'll be 40 next year, and they've just finally found a medication that's actually working the way you'd think they should. The bedding you got her is pretty. Thanks for being there for folks like us, Auri. 💕
Out of curiosity, how do you occupy your time since your retirement?
@@kasban8672 a
My daughter too. Please if you can share what medicine you’re on
This is a tough disorder to deal with. My X- Hus had this. We found out five yrs. into our marriage/in 1985. He did not take this well, In fact, he refuse to help himself/no medication. He became an insist alcoholic and gained 30 pounds all within 3 months. Disagreeable is putting it lightly. I, wasn't happy with his ignoring his problems, but I was happy knowing what the yeck was wrong with him. Coming home, night after night, mostly in a bad mood, taking everything out on me, you did this, you did that, I don't like you're cooking/ which he loved. I would described as bouncing off the walls. Soooo, A.D. We tried high doses of Calcium, every day. as prescribed by my vitamin counselor, remembering he was heavy weight, 200pds and 5' 9". It worked. But, he didn't want to continue. Why, he is my X-hus. I'm taking them, and feel much better, I'm 75. Thk yu.. 😀😀
😎😎
Update: It's a healthy little boy. ❤️ Thank you everyone for heartwarming comments!
I'm in labor now, but hoping to finish the whole episode before having to head to the hospital 😅 I think I'm truly addicted to Auri's episodes.
Good luck!
🤣❤️
@@NiinaO Thanks ❤️
Good luck!
Are you ok???
Yes Auri! I’m so happy you’re wearing a mask. I fear for your health with the chemicals, molds, dust, dirt, etc. It all adds up over time. Seriously, on the insurance disability scale, professional house cleaning is considered hazardous work.
Yes, Diane, me too, was afraid for her health and plus I hve seen some bugs running around at times. That could bring diseases, so we worry about you A. 😁
It is true about the chemicals, but a mask won't help with them. Ensuring air circulation while using them would be good. With the dirt, often the opposite is true. For example people who are working with waste waters all day are the healthiest of all.
@@AbraFAM_de I don’t think so. No.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor no. She is right. Because for this porpuse you have biohazards. People like you might also still believe it holds back viruses. It doesn't.
@Jana Lumina masks are more for concerns with mold. Breathing in the mold spores can cause permanent lung scarring and some types will even grow inside your lungs.
Glad to hear that she has friends! With the home this clean, she can invite them over.
Maybe they will also help her cleaning if she is to tired to keep up with the work. That would be wonderful.
@@bisibisbi It's actually quite possible that they will since it was the church people who contacted Auri for her. The church in Finland have many kinds of help programmes for people in need. Of course the society and the wellfare department of Finland helps a lot too, especially with the housing and living expenses. But usually It's the every day life things, like helping with the cleaning and grocery shopping, where the church help programmes reach people more easily.
Wow that’s great. When my single mom was terribly sick and I to young to do cleaning she asked our church if they could provide any help, she was told to hire a cleaning person, but we had not enough money left to do so. This happened in Germany 45 years ago. Maybe it’s different today, I don’t know.
my dad was bipolar and spent a huge chunk of his life untreated because he couldn't afford medication. His bedroom and bathroom were always a huge mess and stank like hell. Still, he was a wonderful person and did his best to be a good father and person even in the depths of mental illness. I miss you dad.
🥺❤️❤️
😭😭❤️❤️❤️
I am impressed that you were able to see through the illness to the person your dad was. That says a lot about both of you. Respect.
I‘m soo sorry🥺♥️
🥺❤️
I have bipolar disorder too. I am a 46 year old lady from Brazil. I am feeling very lucky that I got really good treatment, it took just a year in hell for me to find the right combination. I am well, I work, I exercise, I do therapy every week and I have an adorable cleaner that comes every couple of weeks. I am so grateful for my cleaner, my therapist and my few friends who understand what a struggle this disease is. I have a few episodes here and there, but for the most part I feel normal and function well.
That is really good news. but, a person with this disorder has to be open minded and has to go forward with that help. My X- Hus didn't, but I think he was afraid of his family's opinion of any mental disorder/ they are the PERFECT family.
Well done :) so so happy to see someone is doing well
@@tabathia7633 I'm sorry he felt like that. It is common for people to think mental disease will make them "less". Some members of my family are still of the opinion that "if I feel I need it", like it is not real. Well, it is "all in my head", but that does not make it any less real.
@@theboujieproletariat I felt it was warranted to let people know that bipolar is manageable. It is not easy, nor cheap, but it can be done. It takes a lot of effort, a lot of persistence and while someone is unwell this is hard to get. I was lucky that I was (mis)diagnosed as depressive first, got treatment and got to experience how it is to feel well, to feel "normal". Years later, when I was diagnosed bipolar, I knew what I was aiming for and why I had to get through the rough times.
@@antiantipoda I'm not quite sure what you mean, but this my X's family, everyone is perfect and they didn't want me into that realm of perfectness. Everything was my fault, they lied to make it my fault. So, this disorder was also a genetic from his father and his brother on the father's side, talk about hiding!!!!! The whole family was messed up. I'm very glad I'm out, for some 30 years now. But, my X- hus died around six yrs ago, facing four yrs. prison term. He is all over the internet. p.s. Tabathia isn't my real name, to protect the innocence. 😍😍
I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 years ago. I had graduated college with 8 distinctions & an award for the most promising student. Although I’m getting treatment now- I feel like there isn’t a job that would be understanding. One of the few things that makes me feel better is watching these videos & keeping my space clean so I don’t become stuck in a depression nest.
Congratulations on your achievements! 🎉 I have mental health issues myself, mainly PTSD and also struggled with finding an understanding job for a long time. Part time work and/or short contracts helped me to know there isn’t the pressure of having to be in work all the time, or to stay in a job for years etc, if I am not well. I didn’t believe there were understanding employers out there, but I was surprised once I started to be honest! Good luck 🤞
My daughter has BP2 and has the same issues. Not sure where you are, but in the US, this is considered a disability and jobs have to give reasonable accommodation. Something is out there for you. Sending virtual hugs.
There are so few jobs that would understand, a fewer that would "chance" taking someone like us in. But to the public we're "lazy" and we need to just "get over it". They don't really understand the treatments and length and mental fire jumps we have to go through just to get out of bed in the morning, or night.
Then when you try to apply for government benefits, things you paid taxes into for most of your life, people say you're "living off the government" while the government says "You have legs, you can work".
I just.. can't with this country anymore. But I'm too poor to leave. I know other countries can be bad too, but others are *better* than here. America just doesn't care about it's people unless they're stacked with cash. God forbid you stray off the white straight rich man path. -_-;
Sorry, ranting.. What I meant to say is, I understand you on a painfully personal level.
I hope she continues with help and medication and does not stop her meds as many bipolar patients do. All the best to Eva
Dear Auri 🤗
Every Sunday I can‘t wait to see your new video. You must be heaven sent to this people who need your help so much. I know what I am talking about. I was Many years abusing alcohol. My home was a nightmare! Now, I am sober for over 5 years. I cleaned my life and my home. Now I also help people getting and staying sober. It also helps me. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart from Germany ❤
You are doing an amazing job you should be proud of your self 😍😍😍😘😘😘
What a wonderful testimony. You can be proud of yourself.
I like that you’re able to clean for free because we watch! You’re helping an individual, some people are learning how to clean, some people feel less alone, and some people are curious. If I’m mindlessly viewing, I like that I’m helping you to help. Quite a change from the rest of the junk I watch.
Social media is to blame for many social ills. This is one place where it helps loads of people. Keep it up! And for free!
Great comment!
Yes to the mask. It’s amazing that you’re helping other people but it’s amazing to see you protecting yourself ❤❤
Omg! I have bipolar disorder, and I know this feeling too well. Your videos have helped me clean my house so many times, it gives me the motivation I need! That's literally why I am watching right now, to get some motivation to clean my apartment 🥺
you got this!! keep trying your well being is worth it. ❤️❤️
@@starm1nt thank you ❤️😭
I’m bipolar too 🤗 I live very simply in a camper. Not much to clean. Lol
@@MireVale oh that's really cool. I always wanted to get a camper one day ❤️
you can do iiiiiiiit
Auri would be so proud
I have bipolar disorder too, I LOVE to clean, it's a hobby for me! But when I'm depressed it's so hard to move and to do the things I love. My home gets so messy and I feel so sad and guilty. But when I'm back on my feet, there's nothing I look forward to more, than an extra good clean! A clean home helps me feel so much better. Thank you for helping Eva feel the happiness a clean home can bring ❤️💗
I'm exactly the same. Also, when the hypomania sets in, the house cleaning and organising hits a whole other level!! 😅
You know, there's a reason people who are struggling reach out to you specifically. Over and over again, you prove yourself to be a safe person. You don't treat mental health like a taboo. You treat us like just another person. You talk about the situation you're working with in a matter-of-fact way. You don't baby the homeowner, and you don't blame them. It's such a relief when someone sees our struggles and doesn't immediately write us off as failures. You're tactful and respectful. That's why I love this channel so much.
I feel exactly the same!
Very well said! I agree. I have felt at times in my life that I am just a step or two away from being in a situation like one of the ones depicted in her videos. But I’d never be afraid of her coming to help. She’s so kinda and matter of fact and understanding and she just wants to help. It’s so pure.
Auri, you are single-handedly spreading cleaning addictions far and wide. Bless you!
What an amazing transformation! Bless you Auri! I wish we had European style bathrooms in the US where we could use a hose and really deep clean the walls and floors. I accidentally got the upstairs bathroom floor too wet when I was cleaning and now my kitchen ceiling has huge water stains. What a mess I created for myself.
Its crazy that wet rooms are not designed to be waterproof in some cases!!
Is not every where in Europe, is just some countries. I never seen them in Greece, Cyprus or Spain.
Not all European bathrooms are designed that way, unfortunately. I have to be careful with mine, can't spray it down like Aurikatarina does in many of her videos.
it's sadly not this case in every european country, some are only partially wet rooms, but this style is super practical with the drain in the floors and the washable walls, so so good, I don't know why the rest of the world doesn't design their bathrooms like this. And if you think about it, kitchens could use a similar design as well, like big industrial kitchens (for example in hospitals or big universities) have drains in the floor too, so the cleaning is much more efficient and comfortable. If possible and with the permission, I want to design my own home with a bathroom and kitchen like this. I'm sure you use more water this way but that's a downside I'm willing to consider and be careful about.

You are adorable and your work is amazing. You are never negative or afraid of mess ; what a woman ! You literally pay homage to these people.
YES😃😃
The transformation is amazing, Auri. Removing the clutter and then cleaning it all does wonders for the mind and soul. Fresh and sparkly new start for Eva!! 💖
Oh, poor Eva! I want to hug her, I know it can't have been easy. I'm so glad she has a church and they have her! 💕
I have Bipolar disorder and cleaning is so hard. My house looks like these apartments sometimes when I’m going through a depressive episode. Your videos, advice, kind words and mindset have helped me sooo much. I recently spent 2 days doing a deep clean and organization of my house. AND I’ve started saying, “start with the trashes.” 😂 Sending you many thanks and love.
I'm diagnosed with bipolar, so this video hits me really close to home
Вам нужно заниматься физическим трудом. Молиться. Помогать тем, кому намного хуже, чем вам.
Me too xx 😘
I sometimes wonder if Florence Ballard David Ruffin Brian Jones and Dennis Wilson had it. Auri you are a blessing to have for so many folks. You don't judge just help.
This video hits me hard too. I struggle some days just to get out of bed.
Same
Lol your knitting analogy is PERFECT! It's hard to pinpoint exactly why you love something so much but finding joy in it and sharing that gift with others is what is most important
I have a lifelong friend that was diagnosed with bipolar disorder back in 1983 at age 20. He lives in a one room apartment located in community supported housing and works very part time. His entire life has been a series of medications, substance abuse, lost jobs, and health struggles. He is brilliant, creative and two years sober while on a medication that finally offers some relief from the demons he lives with each day. I love him dearly and am so happy this ladies church family noticed she needed help and contacted you. I hope they can also find a way to help her maintain it in the future now that you have gotten it started.
I watch your videos as an encouragement. I myself struggle with anxiety and depression and cleaning is truly not a priority for me. And yet every time I hear how kindly you speak about these people, how lovingly you understand them and when you talk about breaking the cycle, starting new or just doing something small like taking out the trash that would push you to a better place it helps me to see my home in a different light
Bipolar disorder is such a terrible disease. It has the highest suicide rate among them all and it's both hard to diagnose and hard to treat, trying to find the right medications who are often very heavy and cause severe apathy.
The bipolar patient very often give up treatment either because it's on a manic episode, feeling invincible or because the meds aren't working as they should, only causing colateral effects.
I'm sure Eva really appreciate your help.
Dear Aurikatariina, I can understand both sides. I have a broken soul and I'm often depressed. At this stage, my cooking counter and oven are full of pots, pans, plates, and mugs. I can't wash the dishes by hand. In the bedroom, next to the computer, empty water bottles, coffee mugs, used t-shirts and socks are piled up. I feel better after a few days and then the clutter and chaos pisses me off. Then I tidy up, wash the dishes and wipe everything clean. Then I like it and I'm happy again. It's a good feeling when everything is clean again. Kind regards, Frank
Yay!! Auri is wearing the mask!! Thank you, Auri~ You are so sweet and we want to make sure you don't breathe in any bad stuff!! 💗💓💖
Auri, I wanted to stop by and say a huge thank you for everything you do. I have ADHD and have struggled for so long to keep on top of things, but yesterday I cleaned my flat from top to bottom with your videos as company. It has never looked this good!
You've taught me that nothing is unsalvageable, and that any mess can be overcome with the right help. Your focus on the people behind the mess has made me feel so much less alone.
Thank you so, so, so much. Merry Christmas :)
My husband and I both have ADD too..we have always had issues with getting our house organized and clean. I get so overwhelmed, so easily. The other day I was able to put on this video and it really motivated me to just start. I didn't do a lot, but it felt so good! I'm about to continue now. :)
I'm proud of you! I know the struggle so well. Wishing you a happy holiday! ❤️
Whoever corrected Auri's pronunciation of "squeegee," my wife and I officially curse you.
😂 I loved it too!
I'm sorry but the curse will carry on. I miss it also.
It reminds me when someone corrected her saying trashes! Auri is wonderful as is in her pronunciations.
Edit: I also support this curse
Yeah Auri is wonderful, I love the way she pronounces squeegee
For real!!!!!! Shame on u.
I struggle with depression and anxiety and sometimes is SO difficult to me to clean my house or even myself and the feeling of everything being a mess is so miserable, thank you so much for helping people, not just cleaning their houses, but making these videos; I feel motivated to clean when I see you. You're so sweet about these problems and I think is so important for people to know that is not a dirty person, or someone who is grosss; is just a human who is having a bad time. All my love and support ❤️
I love the pattern on the new bedspread! It's so pretty
My sister has bipolar since my mum died 18 months ago caused by depression. So I have seen what it can do to someone, my heart truly goes out to her.
You’re so amazing to help her and her church are so so lovely reaching out to you it’s so lovely when you have a supportive loving church family who care. 😢
I truly hope she’ll love her house now you’ve cleaned it and be able to live better. Broke my heart seeing her bed, how come in most of your videos people don’t have a proper bed they’re like jail mattresses on a bed so thin and don’t look comfortable. I pray that people may help those that need it the most and donate what they can to them in need 💓💓💓
Never knew about Bipolar until a friend in the community was diagnosed with it. She was very extreme, doctors said worst they’d ever seen. Medication brought her down and she didn’t like the feeling so she wouldn’t stay on her meds. Overtime her meds would also quit working and she would have to go on another medication. She’s 70 now. She stays on meds, so she never goes manic anymore, but she talks slow and seems Solum all the time. This chemical unbalance is a horrible condition. Taught me to be patient and be understanding-watching from Lake Wales, Florida
Wow the difference is astronomical. No wonder this lady was so happy and smiled probably for the first time in a long time. Your amazing keep up the incredible work you do for ppl in need of a helping hand xx
I wait anxious for your videos, Auri. You are someone that makes the difference in this world.
Yay it’s Auri!!! My daughter and I look forward to your videos every Sunday. My daughter is eight and now has her own scrub daddy😀
So cute! 🧡
Честь вам и хвала и земной поклон за ваше доброе сердечко и ангельскую душу! ❤
Как здесь красиво!
I've watched other cleaning videos, but none are as enjoyable as yours. Your joy and love of cleaning come through in your voice, you give great cleaning tips, and it's interesting hearing the peoples' stories.
I love your videos and how you make peoples lives better by cleaning up peoples houses for free who are in need. You are so wholesome and kind. So that’s why I’m subscribed, so I can help support your business.
You have me cleaning almost everything with dish soap now and I haven't looked back lol. It truly is amazing in the bathroom!!
saaaaame :D
It really is! If you mix it with vinegar and water in a spray bottle it's also great for removing limescale before it gets too bad.
Saaaaame
That's right, dishwashing liquid can be used in many ways.
You can even use it to clean windows.
@@corinaseifert4246 Try a bit of liquid laundry detergent in the water instead! Dishwashing liquid/soap is made to lather a lot because customers like that, it's easier to see where you have used it already and it doesn't run off the dishes too fast, but if you can't rinse it off like the dishes it often leaves streaks or residue. The cleaning products for the washing machine or dishwasher are made to *not* lather, since that is not useful inside the machine, this is perfect when doing windows, mirrors or other shiny things :)
Hi Auri, thank you for cleaning the home of this lady. Really good job! I always see in your videos that most of the people really need a new mattress. A clean new mattress is so important for health reasons. Would you consider to set up a fund where we as followers can donate money which you can spend on things that really need to be renewed for health reasons in the homes you clean? It also sad to see that many of these people have money issues, so they probably cant afford these kind of changes. It would also be lovely to give them a new bank, mattress or new fridge. Or just a new rug and some decorations to beutify their home. Hope you will consider this idea. I would love to donate to such a great idea.
Доброго дня, шановна Катерина! Як же я рада бачити людину яка на такому позитиві займається улюбленою справою
My mom has bipolar and depression and it is so hard for her. This really touches my heart. Gosh bless you.
I've been diagnosed schizoaffective. It can be difficult to maintain grooming and homecare sometimes. I'm glad to see you do this service for free to those who couldn't afford to pay. In my country, it's not a free service to have a professional cleaner your home. If you can't afford to pay, it falls next of kin or caregivers when you're too sick to clean yourself. Which can be a strain on mental and physical health of loved ones.
I'm an electric therapy patient for bipolar and its such a hell of a disorder, I can't work or go out without major effort and right now I'm still looking for meds that will help, I'm so happy to see her getting the help she needs. Thank you so much for everything you do Aurikatariina, I know it has to mean the world to these people
Auri, I’m Colombian and I live in China. I Started watching your videos around a year ago and I love how caring and sweet you are. Las month I was talking about you with some of my friends and I realized they already knew who you were!!!! 🎉. I can happily say that people from Brazil, Cuba and Russia here see all your videos and appreciate your advices for cleaning. Hugs and keep the hard work, people need you!
Hi fellow Colombian.
Brasileiros também te assistem
Sundays are my cleaning days so your video is a treat. Sitting in my clean apartament and feeling good. Xx
I beg your pardon?
Sunday is a rest day.
@@corinaseifert4246 if you’re privileged enough 🥲
@@corinaseifert4246 I sometimes have to do some work on saturdays so I only have one day left to clean:)
It’s so glorious, what you do. And how you make such a huge difference in people’s lives.
It must be a little frustrating for you, to leave your perfect cleaning job with less than perfect furnishings. Or stained flooring. It would be so awesome to see you be able to collaborate with someone who deals in secondhand furnishings, who would also be willing to donate their items to help upgrade for someone like Eva.
Additionally, a handyman who could donate to fix the broken things or repair/ replace flooring, etc.
And someone to deep clean the couches and mattresses!! That get me the most honestly
Auri is happy that she pronounces "squeegee" correctly now. But since I've watched her videos, I have began pronouncing it like she used to, with the hard "g". Because it's so cute!
Just like "trashes."
@@charmaccents6278yes!!!! Hahahahah I always wait to hear it!! Hahaha so cute!!!
I love how Auri is genuinely happy cleaning! It makes everything even better 💙
ur so sweet for cleaning someone’s house for free, bless u, environment makes such a difference when depressed or dealing with mental struggles, i’ve experienced it myself. ur helping ppl. ❤️❤️
I love your videos! You are the sweetest most kindest person! Because of you I've really learned how to clean a house! I just moved and they had the place "deep cleaned" before I moved in and I can't believe how bad it was, underneath the refrigerator was practically a crime scene! I got my scrub mommy, power paste and scraper (all new to me because of you) and went to town and the house is so clean now! You are an angel for what you do!
I love when she says trashes with so much enthusiasm.
My heart goes out to Emma but there has to be something else for her... I use to be told I might be bipolar and acted pretty much the same way. FINALLY, after years of no anti depressant working I found the greatest doctor EVER. Instead of just randomly diagnosing me with A B C... I was referred to a psychiatrist. It happened to fall on a day when I was having one of my episodes. Instead of being a 'business' and rescheduling and telling me (i'm not worth it) by doing that - that cant literally make a person feel worse being treated as a statistic. The Nurse/receptionist asked me if there was anything she could do to help me get past my block and if I was able to video conference on my phone. NOT in 30+ years has ANYONE ever been so kind to me in a professional field. I burst into tears and we sorted it out for me to stay at home and have my appointment. This wonderful psychiartrist diagnosed me with CPTSD from being a victim of multiple crimes that went untreated and not talked about all my life. He said I had NO quality of life like normal functioning people and I deserve that. There was NO talk of heavy medicating me to make it worse (quality) instead I was referred to my States Crime Services to get specialised trauma counselling. This is special training and not every psychiatrist, doctor, counsellor or psychologist is QUALIFIED in this field. They must have the qualifications to give therapy. I feel Emma needs something like this... it's all great that her episodes are uncontrol.. but 40+ years of no quality is not a way to have lived your life. It broke my heart when I realised this about myself (i've lived and fight or flight mode all my life - can't keep friends, relationships or a job). I really hope Emma finds someone who can truly help her. I've been in therapy 6 months now and many more years to come, but it IS changing my life and I'm less 'fight or flight' now because I understand. Hugs EMMA
Literally an angel on earth not only she understands all of these people but also willing to help them the best as she could😢 i love you so much. Thank you for everything your existence is gem to mankind😢
I have always wanted to do something similar and clean for someone suffering from mental or physical illness, but don't know where and how to look for one of those people. I love cleaning, although I am not professional.. it is just so satisfying. And think something like this could be a great way to help someone while also having fun!
I am 33. I have been diagnosed with bipolar since I was 15. It takes a lot of mental awareness and hard work but I am a mother of 5 (pregnant with #6) and so thankful I got help early and realized what as going on with my head. It’s a constant challenge with hormone changes from aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, PCOS, etc. it’s so important for people to acknowledge mental health issues and receive help but to also know it doesn’t mean it’s the end of your story! When I was diagnosed I was constantly being told what I couldn’t do or achieve because of my mental health issues and I have loved proving them wrong!!! Also wanted to add been married to my wonderful husband for 14years 😊
I truly admire your generosity, kindness and maturity at your age Auri!❤️ Not many are in their 20s.
There are plenty kind, generous and mature people in their 20's. It's the people in their 60's, 70's, 80's that are so detached from reality and the real world that they think the "youth of today" is whatever Fox News (Non-political, it's a popular "news" network elderly people watch) tells them it is. You know, eating babies, sacrificing rent for a cup of coffee, ect. Stupid things gullible shut ins believe.
@@liamlowenthal8476 I agree. I had a high-school friend, I'm dating myself a bit here I'm in my 50s and this was in the 80s, who was bipolar. We're in touch but loosely. When we started driving I remember the the waves between manic when he would be impulsive, and then then the depressed periods where I would drive over and for hours for him just to get out of bed😔
I totally get.
I love how she is so sweet, when she said “they need their money more than me.” It made me realize that, she cares about people who struggles a lot. I really love how confident and sweet she is
Greetings from NYC, USA 🇺🇸. Wishing you and all the viewers happy holidays. Thank you for your inspiring videos and for your giving spirit throughout the year by helping those by giving them a fresh start and a clean home. You are a very special person and are appreciated by so many around the world. Merry merry
When I see this I am kind of grateful, that I got my diagnosis so early. I mean, it sucked finding out to deal with my bipolar disorder at age 15, but I had my safety net still and incorporated it into all parts of my life. I think it helps me prevent that it gets this far as this home. I hope it stays that way, and I hope that girl will be able to find her routines in both episodes...
Very happy to see you masked up! We like to see you safe ❤️
it takes a truly special person to look at a home affected by mental illness and genuinely think “oh, fun day at work!” ❤❤❤
I’m actually surprised it’s not worse in there after almost 50 years! Great job as usual 😊
Thank you for sharing your passion with us. I have learned so many new cleaning techniques from your videos.
As someone that suffers from anxiety, and depression, I completely understand what it’s like not having the energy to clean even though I so badly want to.
Your kindness and compassion is amazing. The way you shed a light on mental health is wonderful. Not too many people talk about the raw unfiltered effects mental health has on those suffering and the people around them.
Thank you for everything you do for those that need it most. You are an Angel on this earth.
I've been sick for about a month now - first Covid, then an ear infection. I've had to take very strong anti-biotics for the ears and it makes me nauseated on each dose. I have had little to no energy, and in just that short amount of time I feel like my house went from clean to cluttered and dingy. Not filthy (yet) but if I kept going this way it would be in no time. It's scary how quickly it can all happen. I think the difference is that I would try to find help if it got too bad because I wouldn't be able to stand any dirt/grime. I focus on washing up my dishes and scrubbing out the toilet, and I've let the dust and surfaces go. I can't wait to get my energy back so I can do a deep clean! (Meds end this week!) I feel for people for whom this is not temporary. I hope she is able to keep up on it!
Auri, we can't say it enough...you are an Angel. What you do for all those people is really life changing. Sometimes it needs a push like this to get his/her life in order. I love what you do.
But I always love to see the kitchen being done! The apartment looks wonderful! You are a Godsend! Bless you!
Your happy personality reminds me so much of my friend Boa from Sweden. I kept smiling listening to you share.
Proud of you for wearing a mask! 😂 Thank you for speaking about mental health. Love from the US 💕

Auri, you always go above and beyond. Your hard work and pure heart does not go unnoticed ❤
You are an angel. Thank you for sharing with the world the work you do and your love for helping people.
I play your videos for motivation. I have ADHD and it's tough for me to stay on track, so I play your videos to help. When I see others clean it makes me also want to get up and start cleaning, so it's almost like I'm tricking my brain, haha. Thank you for posting all of these videos. I know it's got to be so tough filming and trying to clean. Making sure we see all of the angles..I really am grateful. Thank youu!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
You are an angel on earth. You gave Eva a fresh start. At same time you are helping to your followers. Some of us have some mental problems. I am doing my house on times, it is messy but in control. My bathroom is always clean and my kitchen sink, cooker and counter food preparation too. I have a list for cleaning, that has helped. Using tips as for example First trashes,🤣😍😍😍
Ever since I m watchign you and you recommending dish soap for grease in bahtrooms, I cant get enough of using it!!!! In my student apartment, I take the bathroom duty just cuz of how the taps look after I wash them with dish soap! :D I love how your videos motivate me to clean
Yes, because of you I am using kitchen cleaner for nearly everything, since four weeks. It is really nice, how good it works and in the bathroom things are so shiny after cleaning. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for what you do! I have bipolar disorder and can sympathize with this video so much! I'm not as bad off, and I have a partner I live with that helps me. Bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and more are so hard.

I love your videos. You have given me so many great tips and your enthusiasm for cleaning is contagious! I watch your videos to motivate me. Thank you for making these videos and helping these people!! Beautiful.
Thanks for doing this for so many people in need! I know you will be blessed for your acts of kindness! And Merry Christmas!
I hope that I can help others in the same way that you are doing when I finish my degree. I love how you do free cleanings to help those who need it most.
Greetings from Colombia. God bless you and give you good health so that you can continue with your beautiful social work.🇨🇴✝️💚
Auri, thank you for doing this for Eva!! ❤
Regarding the laundry: In the USA, you can send your regular laundry out for wash-and-fold service. Most places charge by the pound. If you have too much laundry to handle on your own, perhaps try a laundry service to get on top of it? Not sure if they have the same type of service in Finland.
There are laundry services, but services in general are not very cheap here in Finland.
You're a beautiful and kind person. God bless you for caring so much about others.
I've bipolar disorder and this is so sad to see. Your work is amazing!!
What a fantastic job as you do with every home you clean.
I am someone who loves finding new hobbies and I am always very excited when I get into something, and Auri, you really got me into cleaning! I still need to learn how to be more efficient cleaning bathrooms, so bathrooms and cleaning windows are my least favorite, but I really enjoy cleaning in general and now my house is always fresh and nice! But I don't have any friends who love cleaning like I do, like other hobbies I have that I don't know anyone to share the excitement with, so I totally understand what you mean with that hahhaha
Thanx for inspiring me to clean
Thanx for your humanity to help sick pepole
Thanx for doing that for free
Many thanx for ur white heart
I'm so proud that you're wearing the mask 🤗❤️
I wish our bathrooms in the states were like this. I feel like it would be a lot easier to clean it being a wet room! That’s such a good idea.
You are amazing, Auri! You inspire me so much!
I agree with other comments, this is a real sickness and happens unexpected for the ones who have this problem. You are an angel!
It really strikes me how the different types of Bipolar affect people differently. I am Bipolar 1 and often swing to mania even with Lithium and Seroquel, which for me partly manifests in an type of OCD where my house is incredibly clean and organised to the point of everything has to match in style, colour and brand for items both hidden and visible (not expensive, although I have "had" to replace everything during mania swings), and it really hurts my heart to see it manifest in other people this way, because I know without doubt it's beyond their control even though it's hurting them.
My kiddo (22) has type 2 and 80% of her episodes are depressive. It's all she can do some days just to get out of bed, much less shower. It's heartbreaking to not be able to help much.
@@Harloween74 I'm sorry to hear that, but know you really are helping because you obviously care so much! I honestly think the depressive swings are the hardest, and I understand what you're talking about...sometimes I can't even lift my head up and can't eat or drink. Just a personal experience, although I'm quite new to it I've found Lithium has helped me greatly.
Watching an listening to their life stories an seeing before an after pictures makes me cry sometimes it is so beautiful an the feeling for these peoples homes are renewed when it so clean. I wish I could have help with my home to get it organized an cleaned decluttered.
It was worth the wait! Thank you for bringing all of us smiles 😊
The best part was of course your cleaning job 💓. I´m so happy, you described Eva´s smile, seeing her fresh clean home 💖. Thank you so much, Auri 🌹.
You are such an angel! Thank you for all you do to help others. I loved the floral bed linens! :-)
Thank you for being so kind to people and helping Eva
The bipolar disorder is difficult to treat, the mania is more difficult than the depression. In the video you can see that this is an intelligent human, who tried really hard to live/survive anyhow. With help she will make it.
When you have all three coming at you, both BPD's and Major Depression, you're just kinda like... unsure if you're even you anymore. When I shouldn't be depressed, I am. When I have a chance to not have six different personality disorder issues come out, they do. When my mania pops in for a quick hello, I'm on the floor crying.
I spend my days fighting off the weasels in my brain telling me there's no point in living. My logic never suffered, you know? I *know* I'm better than this.
So.. watching these videos, not just hers but everybody who does hoarder cleaning or helper cleaning? They help me a little. They at least help me get off the couch and clean off the coffee table, and that helps me maybe eat something other than a protein shake.
It's hard, especially with how the world is acting right now. My country specifically, since.. you know.. I live here. It's always worse when you're in the middle of it, you know? But other people have it worse, and I want to remind myself, I do have people who care and I am a somewhat capable human. So maybe do the laundry, at least a load.
Ranting again.. Yes, things are hard to treat. But I'm in a better place than I was when that treatment started. It's going to be a long time before I feel any kind of "normal" though. I just have to make sure I'm here to give it a chance.
