At the moment, my skincare routine is pretty much non-existent. Back when I had a schedule and a routine in my every day life, I was actually pretty good at caring for my skin. Doing it enough as part of a routine really helped me. I am currently on sick leave and there's no stability in my every day life that helps me get into a routine, sadly.

The routine I had was facewash, tonic, and cream.

Before I got my ADHD diagnosis, I went to see my psychiatrist because I suspected I had PMDD, since I only had one week a month where I weren't depressive and perhaps even a danger to myself. She agreed that I probably have PMDD, but she asked me to take an ADHD test, which is when I got my ADHD diagnosis. Even though PMDD isn't an official diagnosis in Denmark, she still believed that I probably have it. How we figured out how to avoid my issues with PMDD was just by skipping my periods, by continuing taking my birth control pills without any breaks. This has done wonders for my mental health! No periods, no back aches, and no depressive episodes.

Recently diagnosed and in my 30s. I've always felt like everybody else have received a user manual that I've never gotten. A user manual on how to be human and how to interact with other humans. It's especially interacting with people that trigger my anxiety. I explained this to my psychologist. Her initial response was that I didn't seem like I had any issues interacting with her, so either that wasn't true or I'm just really good at pretending. Now I'm sitting here, going over what she said, second guessing myself, and I just don't know. This was relatively early on in my session, so I think she understood my anxiety later on. She definitely opened my eyes regarding being more aware of my own needs.

I don't know. Now I just have this nagging feeling of maybe I'm faking my anxiety in regards to socializing.
