Do you still like to do anything for yourself/taking care of yourself?

[lnlybnny]

For example: I love to wash and take care of my hair, it relaxes me so much, feels like therapy. My life is falling apart/should plan my ctb and instead I'm there just washing and pampering my hair, thinking of new ways to take care of it lol

Do you do something like this?

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I clean up some, but only when I have to go out to the grocery store, which is once a week at best. When I go to doctor, too. Other than that, not so much since I'm just home all alone. It's really just another chore to me. I do still brush my teeth lol.

Ya I'm obsessed with taking care of my skin. Using expensive products and always getting chemicals peels done. If I'm going to feel like shit on the inside at least try to feel better on the outside

I still exercise twice a day most days, eat clean nutritious meals, put in effort at my "prestigious" white collar job, study for professional exams. I still treat myself to croissants from the bakery. I still do so much for myself and my future.

However it's all in vain, I know life can't change. Every night when I hit the pillow I still cry, I still want to go to sleep and never awake.

Stuck in limbo it is like I am two different people.

if im able to get myself in the shower i really do enjoy the warm water. but sometimes the fight to get there takes more out of me than the shower puts into me lol if that makes sense. it is nice to have clean hair though youre right.

I still go to the gym three times a week. I don't know why. Not really about feeling good, more like keeping in my mind the possibility that I don't die soon.

 

[_AllCatsAreGrey_]

I'm not very good at taking care of myself. It often feels like a burden or a demand. Still, I do in various ways. Whatever I do, it always feels like there's more to do. It's exhausting. It's like it's required, rather than something I do for myself - if that makes any sense.

 

[Trav1989]

I shave, bathe, and brush my teeth, among other things because I at least want to put forward an image that I am not intending to CTB for obvious reasons.

 

[coolgal82]

i barely leave my room im ngl so like not really lmao. i shower sometimes and brush my teeth when they feel weird and etc but other than that no lmao

 

[lucmucpuc]

i love painting my nails, but yesterday i bit them off and now they are all damaged and broken

 

[eashanm]

I'm tired of all such chores to be honest.

 

[_Gollum_]

Keeping my apartment clean and smelling nice (with candles). I have a whole routine that I do every night.

 

[Maormer]

There isn't a ton i do primarily for myself. I take care of my appearance but that's more out of fear of judgement, I eat so my family doesn't worry about me, I clean so i dont get judged, etc. I think the one thing i can say i do that is just for me are my creative projects. I love to draw and to create worlds even if im not great at either of those things. Its not much and i dont often have the energy for it but i think its good for me

 

[iloveloving]

I like doing my skin care! It makes me feel pretty and healthy.

 

[ninfanatic]

i like to sleep and starve myself to lose weight. sometimes i like to smoke.

 

[Reflection]

Yes, I at least want to still try and live my remaining days the best I can.

 

[lnlybnny]

starve myself to lose weight

Not sure how that is taking care of yourself lol

I like doing my skin care! It makes me feel pretty and healthy.

It feels so contradictory doesn't it

it's definitely not, lol. but, i do like sleep, and sometimes i like exercise, like walking.

Applying to jobs I might not hate, doing career coaching to improve interview skills, starting therapy again and hopefully new meds. Don't know if anything will work out but I feel like I need to try.
