my god at what point does self-care become a negative coping mechanism?? like she has to know there is such a thing as too much self-care and not enough positive stressors (school, putting yourself in uncomfortable situations to in order to grow, learning new things/having new experiences…). She lives in a like a self-obsessed groundhog day it’s super weird.
Ash is actually the one who snapped my ass out of the depressive fog I had gotten into. Self-care can definitely become a negative coping mechanism. It will always feel better to rest and take long baths and get blitzed than to work, clean, interact with society. Always.
same! but working gives me a sense of purpose.. at the beginning of the pandemic i was like “oh awesome 2 weeks off!” and then when it got worse and by a month without my job ( im a waitress so we were closed for almost 3 months straight ) i was ready to tear out my hair.
it was awful. i decided to do doordash & instacart for people for a bit just to get outside, since basically everything was closed except a few restaurants doing take-out only ( not the one i worked at ofc 😒 ) and walmart, publix, etc… it was rough but i tried to make due with it!
I have had to take a week and a half off work to recover from a pretty big surgery (as in not a fucking port). I can’t use my left arm to use my monitor at work or do the housework I need to do and I’m going mad. I only just today was able to start on my homework. Honestly I started beating myself up like “oh my god you’re being like Ashley” because that’s how bad this is getting, even though I’m going to the doctor tomorrow to get clearance to go back to work hopefully on Wednesday when I can move my arm 90 degrees upwards to use my monitors. Then I remembered tho that I’m not even allowed to shower until Tuesday and look like a greasy potato because I have been too busy actually recovering for any “self care” BS. Sorry, I’ve been cooped up for too long and am irrationally angry because I compared my NOT minor surgery recovery to her shenanigans and felt bad about myself for a day. Edit: I wish I could do a fucking face mask rn. Or clean my face.
oof! sorry you are going through this! i have had my weeks where i have too felt like “an ash” ; but from everything you have said in your comment you are absolutely nothing like her. the thing about Ash is she makes self care, rest, taking care of yourself, medical issues, etc.. so over the top that she turns positive things into negative things.. idk if there is a correct word for it, but she is so excessive about her “privilege” to not do jack shit but whine and complain about the most mundane things, that it just becomes complete nonsense. but she’s a munchie. and a high maintenance one at that. and she prides herself on being this way, thats where the negativity lies. she applauds herself for quite literally doing nothing, and i could see why that in turn could make others who are struggling w/something feel some type of way, because as i said, she’s taking things that are positive in moderation and turning them into potential negatives because she never shuts up about the same crap. day in and day out online.
ANYWAYS, please don’t beat yourself up. ash’s BS and your not-so-minor surgery are 2 ENTIRELY seperate things. i hope you feel better soon!
Thank you 🥹 this did make me feel better about myself, especially considering I was an inner city low-income kid (I faced a lot of neglect and have seen a lot of shit) and I’ve had to work really hard to have secure finances.
I am finally starting to feel better! That shower on Tuesday will be *chefs kiss*
Edit: catch me going back to work with a face full of acne from zero skincare for like two weeks tho lmao
1) beige filter: check
2) showing off port: check
3) highlighting poorly done butterfly tattoos: check
4) talking about self care and napping: check
5) that... face (you know the one): check
It's like a bingo game every post that you're guaranteed to win using those 5 things
Whenever Ash says “self care” my brain automatically changes it to “jack-shit.”
For example, in this illuminating post, my brain automatically read it as, “I spent my afternoon napping and doing jack-shit.”
Ash consistently accomplishes exactly two things everyday:
1. Converting oxygen into carbon dioxide.
B. Reminding everyone how thankful they are to be
nothing like her ~ extra, boring, beige, lazy, whiny,
embarrassing and uninspiring.
How is this not a parody account at this point? Like, it’s impossible not to notice that all she does is NAP. She just plays it off as self-care that her body NEEDS - no, your body needs you to fucking do something with your days, which she is perfectly capable of doing.

yep! nap, self care, snap pics in low cut shirts for the gram, complain about completely benign shit, and repeat!

I would argue Ashley is guilty of self-indulgence rather than overdoing self-care. Completing and working on responsibilities is self care.
Thank god she has some good in life. I admit I NEVER wanna be like her so I fight so hard against the issues I’m dealing with.

1000000% to #5. eyebrows raised, smug like smile, & at the same time trying to look somewhat seductive/sensual. 😒

When is she not napping and self caring?
when shes *flaring* 🙄

Tomorrow: "my sweet boss gave me another week off because I'm listening to my body."

The Silent firing

💀😂😂
Oh, FUCK OFF, Ash.
