Get all the garbage up first. Once you do, the rest of the mess will be a lot less overwhelming. Use big black trash bags, like the ones that are used for your lawn.
Once all the trash is up, start with dishes. One load at a time. Wash, dry, put away, repeat.
Same with laundry.
Then, you can hire a cleaning service to clean the floors, appliances, walls, counters, bathroom, etc. Be prepared to pay.

this. It will be much cheaper if you just pay the cleaners to clean.
Do you have a washer and dryer and a dishwasher?
Sunday is a slow day here and yesterday was Mother's Day
Cleaning services generally do light cleaning like dusting or vacuuming. They won't pick up all your belongings all over the floor nor will they do your dishes. There was a time where I was suffering from extreme laziness and depression and totally made a mess out of my rented room I was living in. Dishes all over, trash overflowing, beer bottles all over every piece of furniture and on the floor. I eventually snapped out of it and practically remodeled the entire apartment with new paint and carpeting. I vowed never to let it get like that again.
Most of those who post here are not brain dead.
You just happened to post late on a Sunday night and it is currently 4:00am where I live.
Most who post on here are already settled in for the evening or in bed by the time you started this thread.
As far as the cleaning honestly do what you want however, be aware that some cleaning services will charge you extra to clean up what you are describing as your home.
I understand overwhelming, I'm there myself trying to get things sorted for donation or garage sale and packed to move in a few months.
Take a few trash bags and start in the furthest spot away from your front door and start filling the trash bags with trash.
Don't do anything else at this time, no picking up laundry, no putting things from the bedroom to the kitchen where they belong, no nothing but putting trash in the trash bag.
When you get one bag filled leave it in that spot tied up then start filling the next trash bag and work your way through the place until you get to the front door.
By this time you should have a path of trash bags, go collect them all and gather them by the front door.
Then open that door and carry all of the trash out of your home.
After that, going around your home and start picking up dirty dishes to take to the kitchen. After you get them all gathered, wash all of those dishes. Do not wash part of them and finish later, wash them all and leave them to dry.
Then go around and pick up all of your dirty clothes and put them in the hamper, including bed sheets, pillow cases, towels, etc.
Do one thing at a time from start to finish and do nothing else until that one thing is done.
If you have to make a list to check off of everything that needs done.
maybe I need to just get off the Internet and go throw some stuff out
Yep. Easy.
