stopped taking care of myself - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

In highschool and couple years after I wouldnt go anywhere not showered every day and caring so much about my makeup and hair. Now I rarely ever wear makeup and usually just pull my hair back and take a shower when my hair starts to look greasy. Ive also started smoking and used to do anything I could to avoid smelling like it when I didnt smoke. I used to think that an hour wasnt enough time in the morning to get ready(i would be late if I wasnt finished) and now I literally roll out of bed, put clothes on, put my hair back and off I go. I dont know what happened, I want to start taking care of myself like I used to(maybe not as drastic) but cant get myself motivated. Did this happen to anyone else?

this has happend to me, but for me its because I think I got too comfortable with being in my relationship, its almost like Im not going out anymore and im not looking for anyone, so I try a bit less.

Have you been feeling depressed, maybe?

I dont think Ive been depressed, if I am it might be just slightly. Ive been married for 4 years, and I know my husband is aware that there is a difference but of course hes not going to say anything. Ive made efforts before (like a one day thing). Im just stuck in a rut.

That happened to me as well, as a result of being too comfortable in my relationship, until my boyfriend mentioned that it was starting to irk him. That was definitely my motivation. If you want to start taking care of yourself, start slowly and work your way back into a routine. If that doesn't help, maybe you are depressed, and not even know it!
