I think, you do you. this is self-care for you, so do it and don't be ashamed. i feel anxious when i wear makeup; other people feel anxious when they don't. taking care of yourself makes you better prepared to tackle those bigger things, in my opinion anyway.

oh, no. You've been rummaging around in my screwed up mind again, haven't you? The whole thing about not leaving the house without makeup (thanks, Mom, I hope you're happy...) and buying sleeveless tops but never brave enough to wear them without a sweater. ("No, I'm not hot. Oh really, it's 94 degrees out here? Nope, I guess I just run chilly!" I say while hiding the sweat-soaked tissue I've been moping myself with.) Etc. Etc. Etc. And yes, disdaining these concerns as so much less important than what I should be paying attention to.
