1 ΰ· its okay to do things for you
its more than okay to treat yourself. like you want a new mascara? please just buy it, if you can of course, because we love being responsible! if someone is trying to make you do something you really don't want to do, say no. as a people pleaser, yes i know it can be hard, but you have to put you first. if you're really uncomfortable about doing something, and someone gets mad at you for expressing that, you're probably better off without them. you should be your number 1 priority.
i find journalling helpful to express myself in ways i can't to another person. its a total judgment free way to get whatever is bothering you out of your system. personally, i find that if i physically write it down in a journal, it helps me the most. it takes you away from your device and separates those feelings you want to get out away from your phone and only relates to that special journal.
3 ΰ· keeping things tidy
as an adhd girl, yes this is very difficult for me to keep on top of, but i find that the bigger the mess, the more stress it causes me and then i have no idea where to even start so i just avoid it all together. the cycle is horrendous. but i have found that if i make an in detail list of the order i want to clean things, then make it a routine to do this weekly, it helps me make my spaces cleaner. the detail of the list is important because, for example when you're cleaning your room, you can just go clothes, desk, bed. like first pick up clothes, sort them into a dirty and clean pile, put the dirty ones in the washing machine ect. these lists can be helpful for absolutely any chore or errand you have to do.
i like to do my weekly rests on sunday to prepare myself for a dreadful monday morning. i like the ritual of repainting/redoing my nails, shaving my body, having an everything shower, cleaning my room from the weeks mess... i like doing these types of things weekly so nothing gets overgrown or too messy. it helps me stay in control of myself and the space i come home to so i don't get overly stressed out with a billion messes to deal with, i only need to do a small re-tidying.
its sad to say that even your closest friends and family can't be trusted with your most personal secrets. like don't get me wrong, you can tell them things, but some things are just better off being for only you to know. like if a someone is known to blurt other peoples secrets to you, they're probably doing it to someone else with your own secrets, no matter if they promised not to tell anyone. so be careful of the information you tell certain people.
