What are some self care for my mental health that I should do?

For context, I do not have a healthy relationship with my mom. I have always been a sensitive person since a kid. And since I don’t really have a good relationship at home, when I go to school many things triggers me to get emotional. For example, watching a movie(I cried literally almost every time when I watched a movie at school), someone talking about their problems at home, or just something that is a little sad. I cry very easily and my emotions kept going up and down. Sometimes I would feel really good and talk like an extrovert. But then something little sad happens and now I’m like someone who’s just tired and sad. I really want to work on my mental health. I think I have avoidant and attachment style. Is there any advice that you have that would help me become more emotionally stable?

Im taking a gap semester, and during that time I want to work on my mental health before I go to college. If any of you guys have some advice, feel free to share. Thanks you!!!

I live off campus with my parents but my environment at home is kind of toxic

So I got into a really good school, however, I didn’t get enough scholarships so I decided to go to the one near where I live instead. The problem is, my home is kind of toxic. Me and my mom we don’t really get along. For the past seven years, we had argued almost every single day since I was in middle school. Every single thing triggers my mom to get angry and shes the type of people who when they get angry they would say the most hurtful things. I almost had depression during my sophomore year in high school(my dad also has depression too), however it’s getting better now since I started to take care of myself and listen to self help podcasts. I remember I used to cry because I miss having a mom, I mean shes my mom but I just miss a “mom”. for the past 7 years every time when we argue, the only thing I ask her was to talk nicely to me. However, she said that shes already old and if I wanna be happy, I have to change myself. I lost a lot of respect for my mom. I will graduate from high school soon and go to college but I feel like if she’s still do this, idk if I can handle it anymore. What should I do? Should I stay at my college in the morning until at night so that I don’t really get to see her? Or what should I do?

Hi, I’m a high school senior who’s about to graduate. I don’t have a personal laptop yet and I don’t know if I should just rent a laptop to see if I like them first before buying it or I should just buy it. I don’t really know much about laptop and stuff because my high school we use iPad. do you think it’s a good idea to just rent it first to see if I like it first before buying it or do you have any advice? Thanks!
