Does Routine Make Your Symptoms Worse?

Yes, definitely, especially when it's something that isn't going anywhere I want to be. Please consider if what you're doing is part of the plan, or maybe you've been let down so many times that you don't expect anything to change

Routines can be mentally draining sometimes. I understand the benefits of routine but honestly, it doesn't be as strict as it's made out to be, you know? For instance, I alternate my self-care routines. I know that today is the day where I do the usual skin care stuff but I can always do that at a later time. Essentially, leave some space in your routine where you can do whatever you want.

if i'm feeling anxious routine really helps but otherwise too much routine makes me feel bored or empty and then i get impulsive. like i can't really win
