I just got this new self-care app called Finch and you take care of a penguin by doing tasks for yourself. The free version is a bit limited but it is more fun for me than the other ones I have tried. I always do better trying to care for others than myself.

There are a ton of different ones. You might want to try a few and see which you like. I have tried like 10 different ones and never stuck with it until I started using Finch

A lot of tv. Sometimes reading or calling a friend or family member. Playing with my dogs or cat helps too.

Therapy is great. Also if possible get a pet of some kind. I got myself a hamster and while it didn’t help my pain it did help my depression since I had something to take care of. Any type of animal would be great since there’s been plenty of studies showing how animals help with mental health.
