if y'all struggle with having a routine/getting out of bed and functioning, might i recommend having a ✨bare minimum routine✨
it can be different for everyone bc everyone's energy levels and definition for bare minimum is different. but here's my routine when i'm too depressed to do anything out of bed but i need to get up:
first, i make my bed. my therapist recommended i do this once i get up bc it's a simple task that makes you feel productive without doing much.
second, hygiene. i take a shower, wash my face and hair, and brush my teeth and tongue. some days i can only wipe my face with face cleaning wipes and brush my teeth. sometimes i can only do one of those things. again, bare minimum looks different for everyone.
next, i get dressed. if i'm feeling energetic, i'll dress up so i feel better. sometimes i put a different set of pjs on if i truly can't bother getting dressed in regular clothes. as long as i get out of the clothes i was wearing, i'm good.
lastly, i put on music and make a to do list for the day. i'm not talking about writing down a million things and forcing myself to do everything in one day, but rather writing down 2-3 things i can manage doing that day. i make sure i cross off what i did later on so i feel like i actually did something today. even if all i did that day was make coffee and get something from the mail.
that's pretty much it. this is what i do when i try to make baby steps to feel better and more like a human person than a floating, non-existent vessel. you can change this however you like, whatever definition of bare minimum suits you, you can do. this is just how i do it and what i consider bare minimum. be safe, drink water and i hope y'all feel better<33
