What are some examples other people like to do to treat themselves? I find sometimes there is nothing that I can do, or want. I will tell myself I can buy whatever meal I want- and nothing will interest me. Sometimes I will set a budget and explore some retail therapy. I enjoy that more than food- but you do have to wait to get your treasures. I discovered perfume lately and love studying about the notes and fragrances. So that is something new I have treated myself too. Early bedtime and a good book is nice too.
What are your ideas of treating yourself?❤️

Hi well a someone who is living on a very limited income my idea of a treat is to be able to afford a coffee out with a friend! If I am feeling especially flush then I occasionally have a meal too. Bev x

I agree that is a lovely treat. I work a morning/evening split shift 6 days a week and maybe get into town once a week. I always feel so much better after enjoying getting ready and having some chips on a picnic bench and watch seagulls and sparrows. The best things in life are the simple pleasures. I don't have any friends other than my partner. I would like to but caught in the cycle of wanting to and then feeling too tired between work shifts to do anything fun with someone. I have every after noon free but need to nap to get threw my evening shift. I'm home by 10:30pm which is too late to do anything for me and then back to work in the morning. Mos Sunday's I have off- and I never have engery to want to do anything other than catch up on my housework and hope my partner visits me in the evening.
Not sure if you mean treating depression or being nice to yourself? i tend to use omega 3s and b vitamins to treat my depression also 5htp when im having sleeping problems.
Knitting, painting, photography, walks, nature, books, cosmetics, movies, TV series, magazines, shopping, nice sheets or blankets n towels, nice shower gels, fancy soaps n candles n smelly things. These are the little things I like just have a go at anything you haven't tried or bought!
Well I shouldn't, and I don't advise it.. I binge drink every friday night... I buy a box of 12 cans of cider and usually drink 7-8 of them.. every saturday morning I tell myself 'never again' but I have recovered by the next Friday and do it all over again.......xx
