Depression Support Check-In: August 24th-30th 2023
Hello community!
Thinking about self-care, I thought how sometimes some people do a lot for others and little about themself.
It
could be doing things for family members, friends or even co-workers
and the risk is to spend a lot of energy, but it's important to save
some of it, for self-care.
* On a daily basis, how much of what you do is for yourself? How much is for other people?
* What would you do to improve your self-care moments?
* Did you do something lately that helped caring for yourself?

Hi, Silence,
On a daily basis, how much of what you do is for yourself? How much is for other people? It's currently almost all for myself.
* What would you do to improve your self-care moments? I would do them at all. Since classes started my schedule is all out of whack.
* Did you do something lately that helped caring for yourself? I did a little bit of sleeping longer and a little bit of schoolwork that I didn't want to do.

BESTVASE7265! :) It's so nice to hear from you. I've thought of you and hoped you are ok.
How are you? Have you been enjoying summer?
@purpleTree4652
Hello there purpleTree4652!
It's good that you are trying to rest, hope you can have little refreshing me-time moments to help with your daily life 💙
hey everyone.
i've had a good summer. Enjoyed the outdoors and tried a few new things. I decided instead of going back to school in the fall, I will now register for spring instead. I'm planning on taking developmental psychology online, since I work full time. I plan on completing the rest of my 6 courses and then applying for an accelerated nursing degree. I'd eventually want to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner.
Regarding self-care, most of what I do is for someone else. I do need to start putting myself first. Right now, i'm still practicing my driving so that I can take my road test in october.
One way I practice self-care is by making sure I get a full night of sleep. When I am sleep deprived I am not as productive as I normally am
