what do you do when you struggle to keep your home tidy and clean

my mother and father brought me up to be clean and tidy, 'cleanliness is next to godliness' as it's said...but because i struggle with mental problems i struggle to keep my place/ living quarters tidy and clean...i find it a great effort to clean, tidy and hoover...and i've let things go a bit in my apartment...if my mum saw it she would be upset with me....she lives an hour away now but is always encouraging me on the phone to keep the kitchen clean and tidy....but at the moment it's a bit of a mess.

can anyone relate or understand what i'm saying?
