i fucking hate self care posts made by neurotypicals so here’s one from someone who Actually Gets It

-can’t shower or take a bath? me either. dry shampoo can make your hair look and feel cleaner, and baby wipes or makeup wipes work great to get the top layer of grime off your skin.

-can’t wash your sheets and make your bed? i feel you. push your blankets out of the way and shake the crumbs off your sheet. it will at least be a bit more comfortable.

-can’t even change out of your dirty pajamas? been there. hit yourself with some febreeze and a lint roller. if you can, brush your hair. if you can’t, hair ties and bobby pins are fantastic.

-can’t make anything to eat? same. if you can, there’s no shame in ordering food. in fact, it’s probably better you eat something rather than go hungry. if you can’t, try and find something that comes pre-made or takes minimal effort to make. at the very least, drink some water.

can’t respond to messages or reach out for help? yeah, i get that. set an alarm for a few hours from now and respond to any messages you need to once you’ve given yourself time to prepare. if they’re Important Messages that need Professional Responses, you can find fill-in-the-blank format rough drafts on google. as far as personal messages go, don’t feel bad for sending a mass “I’m sorry, I’m in a personal emergency right now. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.” response to everyone.

-can’t even sleep because it’s so bad? asmr videos always knock me out, personally, but i also watch a lot of bob ross. just try to find something quiet and soothing to use as background noise and take your mind off it, or at least give you a more peaceful environment to think about it.

-can’t go for a walk/drive? try opening the blinds or curtains. you’re still exposing yourself to the outside world. baby steps. (i also play animal crossing or sims; it may be virtual but fuck it. i went on a walk.)

-can’t go into work/school? let people know. let your coworkers or classmates know it’s an emergency and you can’t make it. give yourself up to two days, but then you have to go back. ask to have your work emailed to you so you know what you missed.

-can’t brush your teeth and wash your face? makeup or baby wipes and gum or mouthwash. don’t let yourself physically rot bc you’re rotting emotionally.

Aries: Will start a fight or drama with u and there would be a lot of yelling going on. They will probably talk smack about u behind ur back and maybe give u some scary looks. They could get physical so watch out.

Taurus: Will talk A LOT behind ur back to everyone so that they make sure that ur a bad person. If u make them rlly angry they may or may not slap u. They will call u out when they get the chance. If they had a grudge for u, they would let it out. U might not even know if they hate u cuz they hold a grudge and wear a fake smile.

Gemini: They won’t talk to you very much, and will probably try to ignore u and ignore drama, but if someone brings u up, then they will tell that person bad things about u. Maybe ask why u did them wrong.

Cancer: Will try their hardest to ignore u but probably fail, maybe even start to tear up when they r yelling at u. Blatantly makes rude comments about u or gives rude looks. Secretly loves drama even though they say they hate it

Leo: Won’t talk to u unless u talk to them, talks smack to their friends and maybe spreads rumors about them to make friends hate them. Sometimes they’ll purposely be mean.

Virgo: Will put on a fake smile. They will hate u and u might not even realize it kinda like Taurus in that way. Feels disgusted by ur presence and acts annoyed whenever u want to talk to them. After a while they’ll tell u to back off.

Libra: Will probably make fun of u even tho u didn’t say anything to them or look at them. Usually make fun of u for how u look. Will stare at u with a dirty look for a long time until u look at them, then they will turn away. They may even try to pull a prank. Will start drama.

Scorpio: Will plan to get revenge on u and have their friends help with it. Like libra, they might even pull a prank on u, and it will probably be a messy one to get u embarrassed. Will talk smack about u and will yell at u if they have had enough.

Sagittarius: Will call u out in a form of a long rant and will yell. If u do something wrong, they will yell for help, and maybe try to make themselves look like the victim. Will make sassy remarks.

Capricorn: Will tell u something bad about urself to lower ur self esteem, and will say it in front of others. Like Sagittarius, they will victimize themselves, or maybe call for help if u did something wrong. Could be tattletale.

Aquarius: Will give u full on silent treatment, no talking, and no looking. They will refuse to do anything with u at all. Probably will not start drama but everyone will know what is going on.
