My sibling wants to start a cleaning business of sorts, and I would like to find a way to clean for my disabled neighbors for free or very low cost. My ideal would be to make a collective of people who share my passion, but I don't know of anyone in my area.

Sibling and I both use the title of anarchist, though we are also still learning. Me, especially.

My sibling lives with our parents (who are financially generous but verbally abusive and generally suffocating) and I live with my partner. Sib and I both work part time for just above minimum wage at different branches of a local grocery chain and we really hate it. It's sould crushing, pointless work that forces us to go specifically against our values.

I want to follow my passion of housekeeping for people who need more care than a traditional cleaner would do and/or can't afford a regular cleaning service, and sibling wants to do the admin work and find an income large enough to escape our parents and live on their own.

I want to explore all our options for finding a way to feed ourselves while living as close to our values as reality allows.

If I didn't have to worry about paying the bills I'd be offering my time to my community until my schedule was breaking at the seams, but I have to eat somehow and I'm lost on how to make these two things even slightly work together.

Tl;dr how do I do a "cleaning business" in an "anarchist way"?

He basically said "Yeah your numbers are subclinical, I'm gonna put you on Levothyroxine and see if it does anything."
This made me think this mysterious thyroid issue I had never heard of before was nbd and I, with my powerful memory problems (dissociative type) *fully forgot about this diagnosis and about taking my medication for almost a year* until I started feeling way way worse than my baseline and started digging by myself into what could possibly be causing my fatigue. Said fatigue has gotten so bad I can't get out of bed some days for more than a total 5 minutes to use the bathroom. Last week was hell and it's a miracle I was able to take the week off work.

Currently off my insurance because my job dropped my hours (it's weird, it's a part time job with insurance but it is based on hours worked per week) and awaiting medicaid approval, then I need to find a new PCP because the one who diagnosed me and whom I've been seeing for years doesn't take Medicaid. On top of this I owe the diagnostics lab $500 and am worried they will stop doing my bloodwork if I don't pay. Apparently Insurance was never covering the blood work I had been getting done yearly.

Anyway. Besides all the negativity I am glad I found this sub. I'll do just about anything my budget allows to be able to keep my basic part time job or to stop sleeping upwards of 12 hours a day. My maximum lately has been about 17 hours if you include 3-4 hour naps.
