Self-Care??? What's that!?!?

meeeeee! I’m right there with ya! It’s difficult!

I've been like that for 13 yrs, before my oldest I would never leave the house without hair and make up done now I get the girls ready and just go. I would love to have the time to do all that but it takes me too long nowerdays so rather just get ready and go x

Nope I struggle too sometimes when things get really bad I'll do some self care with my son like I'll put lotion on his face while I do a face mask so we self care together

I used to have pamper me days 2 times a week! Now... it's a struggle to do my toes. My husband tells me ALL the time to do something I enjoy. But I honestly don't know what that is anymore. I am too tired or I just feel guilty. Being an introvert on top of that makes it even worse! When I go to the nail salon (which is very rare) I feel sooo out of place!

i feel you I've been holding onto a gift card that I got last year for a nail salon I always feel so out of place there

It's hard... I am glad that I came across this app, because it is helping.

2 years since getting my hair or nails done last time was few months before having my son. My SO always tells me he’ll give my $ to go get my hair or nails done but when the time comes I never do it. And sometimes I get jealous b/c he’ll go get his cut. I understand his is cheaper and faster but still I’m just like wow. I’ve been cutting my own hair since and I honestly hate it. Same with nails either try doing them and never finished or I just don’t bother b/c I just don’t have the time, when I do I’m just exhausted.

Your not alone. I take care of everything and have no time for just me. So I have no idea how to even self care

Girl, I’m still working on finding time and energy to shower regularly! Self-care? I don’t know her!

I am in the same boat too. I used to get my nails and eyebrows done all the time! Now I don’t. Part of it is me not having the time, but I most definitely feel as if I lost myself. At times I feel myself wanting to do something enjoyable or nice for myself but I either get in my own head or I just don’t…

Yeah I have ZERO idea what that is. The most I get is when my daughter is asleep at the end of the day. I’m usually tired so I only have about 30 minutes of “energy” left before I join her in bed. & that “energy” is just sitting on my phone on the couch with the tv playing while I dissociate before bed 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s sad really

Same here

Yes I'm struggling big time that it makes me sad room hasn't been cleaned in weeks either

Showering is now the extent of my self care 🥴

I don’t self care anymore . I last cut and dyed my hair the month before I got pregnant with my now 2 month old son. And it’s been over a yr since the last time I got my nails done. I relate to Sarah sheeting is definitely my extent of self care now too. When I’m sent with money to do whatever I want with I end up buying baby needs or groceries or picking up things my hubby wants 🤦🏻‍♀️

Shower? Who is she? Razor? Never heard of her! 🙃🥲

Thank you ladies! Now I don't feel so alone in that department.

Same here

I’ve just started taking better self care of myself. I have 4 kids…a 13 year old, 3 year old, 1 year old and a 6 month old. I’m always busy taking care of my kids. I’m always buying stuff for my kids. I’ve been neglecting myself. I have to take care of me to be my best version of me for them. Shower daily, go get my toes done & hair did once a month. Maybe buy myself some clothes if there is extra money left over…I have a husband and I need to keep myself up…not only for myself but for him as well.

I haven’t been practicing self care at all. So much so that for Christmas I told my SIL if she wanted to get me anything for Christmas that a self care basket would be awesome. I love bath bombs and I haven’t had a bath in over 2 years, just showers
