hey guys fun fact “uwu take a bubble bath and eat chocolate” self care and “get out of bed and take a mcfucking shower” self care aren’t mutually exclusive and making fun of the former bc u think the only self care mentally ill people should practice is the latter is uh how do i say. Odd to say the least

im having a bad executive dysfunction day & i just hung up my clean laundry & put the dirty laundry in the washing machine for tomorrow & tidied up the kitchen (wiped down the counters+stovetop and washed the pots i used to make dinner) so now i’m going to drink chocolate milk and build a blanket fort nd play pokemon for the rest of the night as a reward. see how that works

#literally both ‘uwu self-care’ and ‘you need to do this self-care’ are reliant on each other??? #one is to take care of your physical needs/responsibilities and the other is to keep you from becoming overwhelmed while doing so #and yeah sometimes you CAN’T do something and sometimes uwu doesn’t work but hey when is anything 100% reliable????? (tags via @absolutebeeb)

YES THANK YOU!

1. Please please pretty please stop assuming that uwu self care bloggers are a) neglecting our responsibilities to a degree that is unreasonable for our situation or b) advocating that others should do so. It bothers me so much to see people saying “But you can’t do that ALL the time!” when we’re not saying that.

2. If the reason why you don’t like relaxation posts is because you have trouble getting stuff done and you want help with that, OWN THAT. It is OK to need help with getting yourself to do cleaning, take a shower, etc. and not really need reminders to relax. It is not OK to act as if relaxation posts are about laziness when they serve a really important purpose for a ton of people – abled and disabled, neurotypical and neurodivergent.
