How do you care for your legs everyday?

Conservative Treatments

Hello, im suspected to have stage 1 lipedema. Ive done heavy research and im highly sure I have it but I cant tell if im having a flare or not. I dont notice it anyway

But I still want to care for my legs. I have major depression and I cant afford a psychiatrist appointment, even with insurance. So I dont know how to find the motivation to keep caring for my legs.

My goal is to gain muscle and soften the fibrotic tissue at least a little bit and eat more Mediterranean foods. But I cant get myself up to do something. Not even a massage because it just feels like a lot of work. And no I have no one to talk to or go to. Im pretty sure therapy is the only way to go but I cant afford that either.

If anyone struggles like i do or can help give advice, it'd be great.
