How do you get through this? I'll go to do the dishes and after washing a single dish I have no further energy. It's like the moment I even consider doing something all the wind is taken from my sails and that's it I'm just stuck and floating. I don't want to be where I am but I can't control the wind, as much as I want to.

    Definitely get a dishwasher. They also tend to use way less water than hand-washing.

    I don’t have a garbage disposal. I’ve never even seen one in real life. I think they’re just not a thing in Canada. I’ve only heard of them from TV shows (where they always seemed extremely dangerous).

    Haha damn ok in America that is a very big deal you would have been shook. I'm used to it now but it is nice to clear up small build up.

    They aren't actually dangerous but I think most people have some irrational fear about them regardless lol

    ETA I just realized what a jerk I was. I forgot I asked for advice. You gave advice and I was sparky

    I'm curious what this means. I'm in my mid-30s, grew up in the US, and have never had a garbage disposal either. My childhood home had a garden and a compost pile, so that's where food waste always went. Then I moved into apartment life. The only time I ever saw a garbage disposal was when my ex's mom insisted that we had one in our apartment (which was a condo my ex was renting from her.) She said, "It's under the sink!"

    Yeah. It was under the sink: still in a box, uninstalled. Even after she learned that, she still didn't bother having someone install it. That was the only time in my life where there was (technically) a garbage disposal in the place I lived.

    If it helps, you can get mini dishwashers that sit on the worktop. Some of them you don't even need to plumb in. I had one when I was living in an apartment and it was amazing. Just put everything in, fill it up with 3-4 jugs of water (the jug came with it), and put the drainage pipe in the sink. I let it run overnight and had clean dishes in the morning!
