Nanny for a 22 year old?
I have ADHD, Generalized Anxiety, OCD and Major Depressive Disorder.
I find it hard to get the motivation and desire to properly take care of myself. I know what I need to do - but I just can't do it. I've been medicated which has helped in the past but I have a bad habit of falling through during my treatment and no matter how much I know that I need to do better, I just struggle.
This is causing me to fall behind in school, slack off on household chores, not follow through with my interests or hobbies, and feed myself. In the past five months of living in my new apartment I've only been grocery shooping twice. I love cooking and baking but most times I'll just get fast food cause I'm too anxious to go to the grocery store alone or the thought of driving to the store is too taxxing (in those moments i don't even drive to get food and i often go without eating.)
With that being said, would it be weird if I get myself a nanny or something of the sort? Someone that comes over for maybe four hours a day a few days a week and is kinda on my back to make sure I do my chores and my homework, and that either they can cook my meals for me or help me cook and go grocery shopping? I know it'd help in the sense of body doubling, and of course I'd pay. But is it wrong for me to consider? I think it would help. And I want to get better. I just don't have a huge support system and I know it'd be too much to ask of my friends to come over so often to help me. Where would I even post to do an advertisement for the offer?
