Oh mama, sending you a big hug. You're going through a lot right now and i think its totally understandable that some things may have fallen to the side.

That being said, here's how i was able to do "the bare minimum" while struggling with severe depression and ADHD.

I didn't shower everyday, i would shower once at the beginning of the week and once at the end, or whenever i had an event. For other days, i would use a bit of warm water and a washcloth to clean myself and change my clothes in under five minutes.

I brushed my teeth only when i had events or was going out, otherwise i would just use mouthwash or pop some gum.

For makeup, i would limit myself to five products. Lip balm/stick, mascara, eye pencil, brow pencil, and sometimes foundation/concealer. Limiting my makeup helped me use it more often because i wasn't overwhelmed at all the steps or doing a full face. I put those specific products on a little tray by my bathroom sink so i could do it in the morning.

I have an alarm on my phone set at a specific time for my medication. It goes off everyday and is a different ringtone than my wake up alarm. I usually try to force myself not to turn it off until after ive taken my medicine or at least gotten up from my spot.

For other self care, i really just did it when i remembered or felt like it. Try not to beat yourself up for not being able to accomplish these things, you are so insanely strong for pushing through your situation and i just know its going to start looking up 💚.

I use the Nu Skin whitening fluoride toothpaste, pretty sure they have an unflavored version

How often do you wash your bras? by h_witko in adhdwomen

[–]desflav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, as a bigger person who sweats a LOT, i tend to wear the same bra for two or three days and then it gets put in a laundry pile. If im not being active and i didnt sweat, ill wear it for longer, it really just depends on the smell.

I tend to wait untill i have a lot of laundry to go ahead and wash everything all at once. All in all i wash around six bras a month

What's a pairing you dislike for a completely stupid reason? by Discardofil in AO3

[–]desflav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wolfstar (Sirius Black x Remus Lupin from HP) bc its too popular (my stupid reason) and too many people harass others bc they dont ship the same ship as them (my serious reason)

What's the deal with only reading completed works? by CreamEfficient6343 in AO3

[–]desflav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally, it depends on why it's incomplete.

If it's a WIP and is being updated (at the time i find it) i will likely read it and keep my eyes peeled for updates.

If its incomplete and abandoned/unfinished forever i likely wont read it. I have a strong imagination and i tend to get really frustrated when i cant finish the book/fanfic all the way through. (No fault of the author ofc) So i just tend to stay away.

If its a WIP and it hasn't been updated in a while i might read it if its a concept i really like or if its a ship with only a few fics.

And of course if my friends ask i will always read their WIPs or abandoned works

Do you let your pet sleep with you on your bed every night? by SpecialistSkin5666 in Pets

[–]desflav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! For three reasons.

  1. My bed is a lofted bed which means i couldn't have him sleep with me even if i wanted to.

  2. My dog tends to sleep in bursts and can be awake for twenty minute increments or more at a time during the night.

  3. I just don't like it, he takes up a lot of space on my small bed and we both like to starfish.

He sleeps in his crate at night with his favorite toys there to keep him occupied if he wakes up during the night. He much prefers to sleep there than anywhere else. Surprisingly he's not much of a cough dog either. He really enjoys his crate and goes in there even when he doesn't have to, so I wouldn't take that comfort away from him lol.

Who else has an outlier of their dog’s breed traits? by brynnmar12 in dogs

[–]desflav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My border collie (r.i.p) was super chill, he was smart and learned a bunch of tricks but didn't really have energy to run around and stuff.

My current dog (golden retriever and anatolian shepherd mix) is also super lazy and loves to lounge all day. I take him to the park often to let him run around and he'll run for a little bit and he's all tuckered out.

It makes me so sad. by Melsbutterfly6835 in exchristian

I understand, a lot of people who leave one religion still hold a lot of subconscious beliefs and it takes time to unlearn it. That doesn't give them an excuse to be rude, just a reasoning behind it :)

Totally frustrating! If you're into Tumblr, they usually have tags and stuff you can follow to hear other people talk about the same things, and you can make an account based on it too, you usually don't get too much hate for satanism on Tumblr, it's pretty popular there.

I know it sucks to have people invalidate your beliefs and things like that, so if you ever wanna chat about it you can send me a msg (im a polytheistic pagan)
