self care resources and tips

so as long as i started being on tumblr i have been into recovery and spoonie blogs. i found a lot of wonderful resources here but now i think i am ready to give back to the community. here are some of the things that help get through life as a depressed, anxious adhd person with ptsd and some chronic pains.

!!! TW: mentions of depression, selfharm, food !!!

Apps

Finch

self-care app that is very flexible and forgiving!

you take care of a small cute penguin by taking care of yourself - it can be anything from just getting through the day to doing big things

loggin your mood in a non-bearing way, breathing excercises, journaling with promts and a lot of cute clothes for the birb included!

there is a free and a paid version but i had no issues with using only the free version - the differences are minimal!

i highly recommend this because it doesn't have a punishment system (like habitica, for example) and you can use it inconsistently without any worries. the main goal is to take care of yourself but even if you don't log it in - totally ok!

App for IOS

App for Android

Pokémon Smile

for all of my fellow neurodivergent people who struggle with brushing your teeth!

you help cleaning a dark pokemon by brushing your teeth AND you are doing it with a cute hat on!

you can complete a pokedex just like in a normal pokemon game

the app shows you how to brush your teeth thoroughly and has hints and a timer so you don't have to think about it

i personally use this on low spoons days and when i am too brain foggy to manage something like this. or on bad depression days, when i have no motivation because pokemon is my hyperfixation. i also recommended this app to a lot of younger neurodivergent kids and teens and they all found it super helpful!

App for IOS

App for Android

Calm harm

if you are struggling with selfharm it is a pretty good app for grounding yourself

you choose from many excercises depending of what helps you personally and then try to ground yourself

it is very customizable so I found it very easy to use even in public places (i.e. tasks like find colors are perfect for when you discreetly need to calm down)

it is also very bright and colorful AND you can choose your companions! i have animals because they are cute :)

App for Android

Real life tricks

10 minute cleaning

this is not a new method but still a very useful one

if you struggle with cleaning or motivation or lack of energy this is a very good one! especially if you have a combo of adhd and depression

so have you ever tried to clean "by areas"? it takes so much time, it is exhausting to even think about it, it is so...hard

that's how i feel so i started a very simple and spoonie-friendly method: if i have one extra spoon (or more) i clean for 10 minutes

whatever i can do in those 10 minutes - put two things away or clean the whole table - doesn't matter!

the main goal is to just spend 10 minutes tidying up

some days i can't do it and it's ok, some days i do more than 10 minutes - it is not about checkmarks but slowly making your living space more comfy over time

it helps with not stressing over "finishing" something, trying to perfectly clean every nook and cranny or even get hyperfixated on cleaning and get tired

snacks in breaks

important: this is not using food as a reward! if you struggle with ed or similar things, please be very careful with this method! food is not a reward, it is a neccesity

this is something my counsellor adviced me to do when i don't enjoy other things because of depression

i personally use it for when i get too much hyperfocus moments along with pomodoro tecnhique

if you have a favourite snack (or drink! preferably sweet) that can be divided into parts, use one part in every break you take while you are working

this method keeps you not hungry and/or hydrated, serves as a distraction because of the change of activity (chewing/drinking) and a new sensory stimuli

try to be mindful about it! savour the taste, imagine you are remi who is trying the cheese and strawberry together

you can do more in your break, of course! but if you are too hyperfocused and everything else seems boring snacks are a good way to prevent a massive burnout

so far this is all i wanted to share! if this helps a lot of people i will try to make more posts with my coping strategies because oh boy do i have a lot

I heard we're known to do body pillows now? I thought that was a cute idea so I made a little something like that for my birthday. Feel free to come lay down and rest~♡!

It's really made with me in mind but... it can be for canon MARI too :3
