Shaved my legs and groin and chest. Damn do my legs look good. I then used a body oil to soothe the skin. Also this made my dysphoria hurt a bit less. Is tgere anything else that would make me feel better about myself?

Idk if this will make you feel better about yourself, but it will make you feel amazing:

Clean your bedding the day you shave, extra points for timing the bedding to come out of the dryer <1hr before bedtime.

Shower, shave right before bed, use moisturizer if desired but leave time to let it soak in/dry.

Slide into your newly washed, fluffed and warm bed and feel the instant melt as you slip into a deep deep comfortable sleep. The feeling will be there when you wake, feeling as fresh and ready for the day as possible.

It combines self care, texture yumminess, and deep sleep that will be a great foundation to start a new and healthy day ♥️ Best of luck to you!

This sounds soooooo amazing! I'm definitely going to have to try this

As soon as I get paid next I'm going to a laser clinic and just telling them to absolutely scorch the earth on my whole body.

The best effort to joy ratio for me has always been painting my nails. Takes very little time (mostly just waiting for it to dry) and makes me feel amazing for days at a time! Takes a couple of tries before you get it down, but if you've never done it I highly recommend!

I have done it, but my depression has not let me do it for awhile.

After bath? Moisturize! Use some leave in conditioner if you have it, body Moisturizer if you have it (or just lotion). Maybe throw in some nail polish too!

Just a bit of a disclaimer, shaving obsession is a thing and i have it 😂. I started out like this, my legs would be so smooth and i loved it. Now its developed to me not being able to stand any body hair on me.

So just relax i guess. If you talk to cis women theyll tell you all about how theyve never met or been with guys( not you obvi) that shave their legs, much less everything else. So consider that mold broken!

Proud of you ❤️❤️

Edit: cleaned up gendered language as best i could

A good skincare routine leaves my face feeling super soft which helps me a bit. Plus it's just a good idea to take care of your skin.

My AdHd and depression won't let me keep up a routine

[–] quantumgenderino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

An interesting way to think about routine my wife brought up to me recently is to take any kind of time component out of it. My morning routine doesn't have any kind of time constraints beyond not leaving for work late. I think of a routine now as a series of steps, regardless of it if I'm consistent day to day, the routine itself doesn't change. Shave, makeup, manage my hair if I need, feed the pets, get dressed. The fact that if I don't do my routine in time my wife is late for work helps me keep to it, but if I do step one, the rest just follow because that's just what I've convinced my brain the thing I do next is. Even on the weekend, if I'm going out and end up shaving, it's very hard not to do the rest of the steps in order, and the clock and calendar straight up do not matter. If there's a task you already do on a mostly daily basis, try to just do a new task after it every time, and when you get used to that, add another, and continue until your routine is built and ordered in a way you like.
