My new self care goals (not all but some of them)
~Make a doctors appointment
~refine my diet and significantly lower intake of sugar and dairy completely and never drink, especially alone..
~pursue activities I enjoy that I do on my own free will (already got volunteer going, just about maintaining it).
~Find a job that I can enjoy and get growth out of along with a new source of income (this is a goal that will take some searching and preparation)
~Save money every month to put away for emergencies
~Stop looking at my life through a negative filter and challenge my assumptions.

My self care has drastically improved. I no longer need to worry about hygiene but I remember going many days without showering or brushing my teeth.
Now I take care of my nutrition by
- drinking enough water
- taking vitamins
- taking my herbal remedies (since I just gave up the Prozac again)
- having a small meal and a good healthy dinner
My emotions are what need my full attention these days so I self-care by
- prayer and meditation
- being outside daily (either walking in the woods or sitting on my porch)
- reading and writing
- doing hobbies
- keeping busy with my pets
- self-therapy
Keeping my dreams alive by
- sticking to my budget to pay back my debts
- "paying myself first" by putting money away each payday to save for a down payment
- looking at properties and considering areas where I'd like to settle down
- learning about homesteading and taking care of a house without having to hire people

Wash my clothes, clean my living space. Brush teeth, Shower, honestly when I am in the depths of depression I am a pretty disgusting person.
My floors are covered in trash. A fly showed up, I named him peter. I just let him sit on my arm because I can't be bothered to swat him or clean up. He's going to die of old age soon, it's been a few weeks and he is still here.
