ok so like not showering is just normal for me now? im kinda scared to shower even though i should ?????

i joked about this bc it was like
'oh! ill shower tomorrow its fine!'
and i don't. (it's been like 1.5-2 weeks)
its not like i don't have time i just won't. ????? i don't know if im just lazy or if its something else bro. it isnt even that HARD??????
it would just feel wrong to. i hope that sounds right.

& yes i DO use deodorant! if that helps?

@Poorthing2012 I've honestly had hard times getting in the shower with depression. Basic hygeine when you have no motivation to even get out of the bed in the morning seems like blue collar labor. It's difficult.

I wrote a to-do list schedule for every week and taped it to my door, where I've given myself one task a day that I should at least complete weekly. It's helped me keep up with most of the stuff. I washed my senior dog today, for instance. On other days, I do a basket of laundry, or clean my room. The limit of one task makes it seem not so bad, and it doesn't pile up and make me want to do it even less if I continue to do it once a week.

I have a daily/every other day one pasted beside it where I've written basic hygeine. Brush and floss teeth, shower, apply chapstick or deodorant, drink x-amount of water, etc... I keep up with it a lot less, tbh, but it's still improved how often I do it, where before, it was almost next to never.

Depression on top of an undiagnosed mess of neurodivergency is extremely hard to manage. You don't know until you go through it fr

I've had plenty of "I'll shower tomorrow" days, lol
