“i can’t do simple hygiene bc im depressed”
that’s easy babe! just do simple hygiene

Y’all always have to wallow in your misery instead of considering maybe, just maybe, the encouragement people like this give is just telling people to do one, easy thing instead of worrying about a whole routine. Can’t make yourself shower? That’s fine, just brush your teeth. Don’t have the energy to do your hair? Okay, just brush your teeth.

Making 1 small change that can start improving your mood leads to other small changes. When I couldn’t make myself shower I would make sure I changed underwear every day. And then I started using baby wipes to keep myself fresh. And then I worked my way back to trying to take showers every day. My record might not be perfect but I’m getting better.

It’s really unhealthy to keep the mindset that anyone who isn’t miserable and suffering under their mental illness or emotional problems doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Maybe they’ve just grown to learn how to love and care for themselves in spite of what they’re going through.

Smash or Pass: Mia and her sisters

Pass on all of them. But for different reasons.

I’ve only met Mia’s sisters briefly – I don’t know them, just what Mia and Angie has said when talking about them (I only recently found out Mia and her sisters are triplets!)

As for Mia… well, there’s a few reasons. One, she’s my kid’s mom. Given our somewhat complicated circumstances (complicated in that it’ll take a while to explain), its just… something that has never occurred to me. And thinking about it now, it’s weird.

Two, she’s married. I haven’t met her husband – he’s strangely absent when I visit – but I know he exists.

And three, that’s just not our relationship. She’s family, but more like a mom… a co-parent.

But you didn’t ask all that… so…

Carlos shook his head. “None whatsoever,” he told Hancock and he pressed a kiss to the ghoul’s mouth. “I need a bit of time to freshen up, if that’s okay.” Carlos had a sweater vest and shirt that he’d gotten and was saving for an occasion like this. It didn’t seem like Hancock’s style, but it was Carlos’ and he was hoping to look nice. And that Hancock would appreciate it.

Freshen up? Now it really does sound like a date.” Hancock winked and leaned in for one last kiss before he pulled away. “Go on then, take all the time ya need freshening up, I’ll be right here.”

Carlos tried not to grin too hard or seem to eager as he squeezed Hancock’s hand before running off to clean and dress up. Thankfully he’d had the foresight to trim his beard, but his hair did need to be brushed and his face washed.

But eventually Carlos came back, fresh as the morning wearing the shirt and vest. Even as he walked out though, he started to worry that he might be over-dressed.
