Mental health and hygiene

Please tell me I’m not alone. I feel like I am putting everyone’s needs above my own and when I do have time, I prioritize cleaning, laundry, eating, and sleeping. I feel like my person hygiene has gone down.

This is me i barley have time to shower and when I do i feel guilty. People say to do things for myself but then nothing gets done

I personally haven't showered in two days, but the dishes and laundry are done and the baby is bathed 😂

Nope you are not alone. I get a quick shower every other day. It gets better as babies age I am told. However my son is 15 months and I have no way of containing him while showering. So I guess I will be able to shower every day again when he turns 4 or 5 lol.

I get so frustrated and resentful feeling like everyone else’s needs are taken care of but my basic need for getting SLEEP is not a priority. Or going to the chiropractor when I’m in pain. When I don’t sleep, my mental health absolutely plummets and I am miserable. Sigh. I try to tell myself it’s just a phase.

You are important and so are your needs. Take care of yourself first thing in the morning before anything or anyone. Make it a habit every day. You need to be respected from the ones you live with.
