Back labour bowel movements after, looking good advice

I've been so wrapped up in my mental health and struggling with severe ocd and health anxiety, convinced I have everything. I haven't been taking care of my appearance and I feel like I embarrass my fiancé, he doesn't say anything like that but I forget to wear make up, do my hair nice, etc. I need tips on people looking good 4 months pp because I need the advice o really do, thank you and it's not important to look good after birth but I feel like if I look good I feel good but getting the first part of that is hard, also any help with health anxiety and ocd is appreciated thank you. I've had black int stools and it's panicked my health anxiety, my Bowles haven't been the same since my back labour and that's triggered me

See a doctor about the stools and OCD, see if your health visitor can offer any support. And be gentle with yourself! If you've got a good skincare routine and want to wear make up then I'd go for a quick 5 min routine eg. Tinted serum, cream blush, mascara and a tinted lip balm. Not sure style and beauty is the best board for the rest of the question though.

You may be able to self refer for help with the OCD, speak to the GP if you can’t self refer in your area, they will be able to refer you.

Re the black stools, are you taking iron tablets? That can cause black stools. If not, at will be a discussion with a GP also.
I can’t really help you with looking good, I’m a throw jeans and a T-shirt on. Would treating yourself to a new hair cut help?
