Self care is important, it's part of how we take control of our own mental health. How are you going to practice it this weekend?

Going to try and ask myself about what I think about relationships and ponder on it for a bit.

I'm going to be going between Resident Evil 3 on my new TV and surround sound system and Conan Exiles on my pc and sleeping and watching Funhaus. Family finally went home after so long so now I have the house to myself. I'm going to make the best of it.

I'm gonna keep myself really busy this morning doing errands, it distracts me and stops me getting depressed. I'm then gonna reward myself with a boxset this afternoon!

I just declined all weekend plans so I can self-care. Been a stressful couple of weeks and at least another 2 to go. This weekend is all about getting my apartment in order, enjoying some good wine, and finishing Clair Obscur.

How are you finding the game? Loads of streamers are playing it atm it looks great

[–] emmanuel_car@fedia.io 1 points 12 hours ago

It’s an absolute fever dream at times. Really enjoying the content, but the battle mechanisms get a bit repetitive. Also maybe it’s just because I’m usually stoned when I play it, but sometimes I hover no idea where I’m supposed to be going, I’m way too accustomed to relying on mini maps and compasses.

Just resting because I need to regain some energy. So I will mostly play video games and watch movies.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Good idea! What game are you going for?

[–] onion_trial@europe.pub 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Echo Point Nova for something fast, still deciding on something chill. Maybe I'll go through some short, relaxing games on itch.io

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 2 points 17 hours ago

Good plan! Hope you have a blast

[–] Outwit1294@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

Hit the gym. Continue my recently started journal

Flying home to spend time with my family

[–] recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Gods I wish I could have a dog and/or a cat but my current place won't let me :(
