Self care can be incredibly difficult when dealing with depression and/or anxiety. However, accepting help from others as well as ourselves can help improve our situation. Because self care can be so tough, we at psych2go have devised a list with low effort self care tips, to get you started. Disclaimer: these self care tips will not replace professional help or medication, but they might just help you a little bit during those moments/days you’re not feeling well.
Take another route to or from school/work/therapy/appointments.
In low-effort self care seeing different surroundings can sometimes help a little with the apparent repetitiveness of daily life. It doesn’t have to be a massive detour, or a huge change, but just try to take a slightly different route to change up the repetitiveness.
If you feel up to it, fix a small thing that’s been on your mental to-do list.
