Self-care is a popular practice that is often meant to be a positive way to deal with health and mental health issues. While it should be beneficial, self care can be harmful if it is treated as a cure-all solution or pursued without intention or a realistic regard for the results. Overspending, eating indiscriminately, not exercising and ignoring reality are some examples of bad self-care that can lead to negative outcomes in the form of emotional, financial, mental, or physical consequences.
