“8 Unhinged Habits That Are Actually Just Self-Care in Disguise”

Because sometimes healing looks like chaos with a side of snacks.

1. Rearranging your entire room at 2 a.m.
Not insomnia—feng shui therapy.

2. Buying plants you know will die in 3 weeks.
It’s about hope. And denial. But mostly hope.

3. Talking to your dog like they’re your therapist.
And honestly? They give better advice than most people.

4. Saying “I’m doing inner work” while deep-cleaning your kitchen with murder podcasts playing.
It’s called dual healing.

5. Crying in your car, then turning the volume all the way up like you’re the main character.
Therapy? Nah. That was a full-blown emotional concert.

6. Carrying a water bottle like it’s a personality trait.
Hydrated? Questionable. Committed? Absolutely.

7. Practicing confrontation in the shower like it’s a courtroom drama.
“Your honor, I may be emotionally unstable but I make valid points.”

8. Buying one (1) candle and suddenly becoming a spiritual guru.
“Don’t text him. Mercury’s in Gatorade.”

Healing isn’t always graceful. Sometimes it’s messy, loud, dramatic, and hilarious.
And that’s okay. If you’re still showing up for yourself—even in ridiculous ways—you’re doing amazing.

Tag someone who’s “coping” like this. Or just tag your therapist. They deserve to see it.
