I find routines to be a life saver, or "rules" for yourself. For me, I must do my laundry every Saturday. Even if I don't fold it, I at least wash it and my sheets. I also tell myself I must sweep and mop at some point over the weekend, just whenever my mental and physical health allows

that's such a great idea! I do something similar with showering and washing my hair

My hobbies have helped me. I crotchet and paint. My hobbies have given me an outlet for those feelings and I get something cool at the end.

yessss crocheting and knitting are sooo nice. You can take them anywhere and they really help me when I’m having a really emotional moment
