Loving this thread sorry to jump in- just want to say for those ladies who don’t get on with micro blading, maybe worth looking into nanoblading, it, the stroke is finer and the technique gets on better with sensitive/ oily skin. Hope that helps!
Thank youI'm so sorry that you are struggling at the moment. Do you have any therapy or medication that will help?
With regards to personal hygiene, is there anything you particularly like doing? E.g. if you like the feeling of freshly washed hair, maybe that might be a small, first step to work towards to: washing it and making a goal for yourself to washing again the next day (or whenever you'd normally do). Or if you like painted nails, make an appointment or get the polish out. While it might seem that you need a 360 reset, that can be very difficult when you're not in the best state of mind and can seen overwhelmingSo I think i would focus more on small tasks like taking a nice shower as your first step to feeling better and then working your courage up to something like getting a haircut.
Be gentle with yourself. I think, when feeling very low in mood/depressed, trying to maintain a sense of personal hygiene is a good thing. But don’t then start beating yourself up because you’re not at your most immaculate. Being clean, healthy and up and about is enough some days.Thank youPutting it all under a spoiler because it's rambling.
I don't have access to therapy or medication at the moment, I want to make an appointment with a psychiatrist but I keep postponing it because, brain.
I actually managed to shower and wash my hair this evening, it's a big win. The panic of my mother dropping in and seeing the state of me was enough anxiety to reset my executive dysfunction, I can't deal with questions right now. I will try to get my nails done next week and see if it helps
I do like the feeling of being neat and clean but this month is running away with me, most of the time I don't follow what day it is until I check the calendar. Maybe actually writing out a shower and personal care schedule might help, but I'll have to find a way to make it not look so daunting.
If say showers are an issue- try and even do like a one minute shower? Or if it was teeth brushing, even if you only brush your teeth for 30 seconds, that’s better than nothing and it might spur you on to do more? Just examples, but you get my driftThank youPutting it all under a spoiler because it's rambling.

Sometimes if I’m feeling shitty and I know I haven’t showered in a while, but for whatever reason I don’t want to get in the shower, I ask myself “what’s going to make me feel better in this moment” and the answer is always a shower, and it gives me the push I need to get in there. And I always feel better afterwards, even if it’s a quick one.Thank youPutting it all under a spoiler because it's rambling.

I feel you, I’ve been here more than a few timesI have a question for the fellow depressed ladies: how do you sort yourself out when you're feeling like roadkill? I've been getting progressively worse for the past couple months, I'm never high maintenance but now it's crossing the border of neglecting personal hygiene and I feel gross but I can't pull myself out of the funk. Do you have a reset hack that works or is it just what it is until you start feeling better?
I've seen a Braun IPL device on Amazon for ~300€, it's normally around 500€ and I'm seriously considering that one. I had a Lumea a few years ago that worked really well on me, but it broke and I never replaced it, but haven been contemplating it for a while now.does anyone know any really good Black Friday sales on now? Beauty/self-care/clothes/skincare/haircare etc! Anything really
I'm holding out for great deals on the lumea 8000 next friday....boots has a pretty decent one on right now but I'm not sure whether I should bite the bullet! I had an old lumea (10 years old ish) and its not corded and needs charging every few mins now so going to get a corded one...anyone know what's the lowest price they've been?I've seen a Braun IPL device on Amazon for ~300€, it's normally around 500€ and I'm seriously considering that one.

Broadly from what I know about IPL and from my beautician, if a laser place or IPL claims to work on blonde/red hair, it's lying to you, because it doesn't work on that, unfortunately (something about the pigment colour).Does anyone use an at home IPL device with blonde/reddish hair? I’d be super keen to know if anything has worked well for you x
I have for the hairs on my legs and it didn't make any difference at allDoes anyone use an at home IPL device with blonde/reddish hair? I’d be super keen to know if anything has worked well for you x
I think you’d have to go for electrolysis instead xDoes anyone use an at home IPL device with blonde/reddish hair? I’d be super keen to know if anything has worked well for you x
Current Body always does a decent Black Friday sale for any beauty devices!does anyone know any really good Black Friday sales on now? Beauty/self-care/clothes/skincare/haircare etc! Anything really
Check in the men’s sections, like m&s. I feel like for this sort of things men’s are always a nicer fit (for my shape anyway!) and better quality fabricCan anyone recommend a warm, thick half zip sweatshirt (like proper sweatshirt material not a teddy fleece if that makes sense)? I’ve had a look online but it’s so hard to tell what the fabric is like.
