Welcome!!

I think it is great that you have posted, and by doing that you have just taken the first step to help yourself! This is a great community of people here, who understand how difficult things can be sometimes.

I find it helps to reframe things in my own mind. If I say "I HAVE to do X", then I put a bunch of pressure on myself, and if I don't do X, then I feel like I have failed.
If instead I say "I WANT to do X, when it is the right time", I set the intention, without any pressure.

So instead of saying 'I have to brush my hair', try saying 'I really want to brush my hair. It will feel nice to have the tangles out'.

Take it one step at a time. Each step is a victory, and something to celebrate -- no matter how small.

So ...congrats on your first step of posting here!!!

Sending you strength to take it one small step at a time...
