The self-care 101

You’ve been trying to build a routine or have been trying to get back on track but just don’t know where to start? lets me help you out <3

Step one Personal hygiene:

first up are a few things that you should do daily! <3

• Brushing your teeth, flossing, and mouthwash twice a day.
• Showering either in the morning or in the evening.
• shaving and lotion if you feel like it (my fav)
• skincare twice a day, in the morning and before going to bed.

Perfect! now at first, this may seem a bit overwhelming, especially if you struggle with depression, but sticking to this will already do a lot-

Simple skincare:

my last point was skincare, so I’ll give you a little run-through on a simple and affordable routine; obviously, I can’t promise that this will work for you, but we gotta start somewhere, right? :)

morning:

• Dove beauty cream bar works really well for me (costs like 1 €).
• Neutrogena hydro boost aqua cream as moisturizer (10 €).
• Any SPF that works for you, I use the la Roche-posay one (15 €).

night:

• Dove beauty cream bar.
• The ordinary glycolic acid as a toner (10 €).
• The ordinary Niacinemid + Zinc (7 €).
• and the Neutrogena moisturizer again.

This should be a good start! :)

Step two healthy habits:

mental health plays a massive role in self-care, so I have listed a few things that might help you feel a little bit better; building actual habits takes time, though, so don’t stress about it too much, and just try sticking to a few! :)

• Eat breakfast.
• Take vitamins in the morning (Vitamin D, Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc, Iron, Folate/Folic acid, and Vitamin B-12, to list a few)
• go for a daily walk.
• Do a youtube yoga or stretch video.
• Listen to a positive playlist or podcast.
• No technology for 30 minutes.
• Read 10 pages of any book.
• Study something you’re interested in for 15 minutes.
• Write down 3 positive affirmations.
• Make a to-do list.
• Try a new recipe each week.
• Make a grocery list.

take your time and try being consistent; eventually, you will get to where you want to be; you can do it! <3

hint: if a person with clinical depression and anxiety says theyre tired …. dont tell them they have no reason to be …. bc guess what….. They Know and Its Shitty

Louder!!!

I just want to add one thing-

If you have depression or anxiety? you’re not tired for no reason.

You’re tired because you have depression/anxiety.

Not only do they both come with low energy/fatigue as a legit common side effect, but they’re both fucking /exhausting/. fighting your brain all the time? exhausting. adrenaline crashes from anxiety/panic attacks? exhausting. being on edge all the time? exhausting. plus doing things costs /more/ energy when you have those mental illnesses.

You’re not tired for no reason, you’re tied because you have an illness that makes you tired.
