I don't know who needs to hear this, but if the phrase "self care" doesn't resonate with you, try calling it "system maintenance" and see if that clicks.
People like to assume I'm a masochist, but you know I'm not a masochist I just like to see what my body can handle. For example I was tased for a deleted YouTube channel just to see how much it would hurt. I think it was about a 6 on the pain scale it wasn't too bad, but I was also pepper sprayed on that channel now THAT was not pleasant, more of an 8. The pain just never went away and it lasted so long, but it wasn't as bad as my heart attack and appendix exploding.
Thank you @eekahchu for the perfect meme. I wouldn't be surprised if this happened.
