Struggling with Daily Brushing Habits

it's one of the hardest things for me too and incredibly embarassing I can't even tell my dentist or my psychiatrist. I'm 29 years old and have never had a routine for it. For me there's no "do it when you use the bathroom at night" because I just don't have a routine for anything and I avoid looking at myself in the mirror. The only thing that's really helped for me is when I'm already doing well lately its easier to at least remember and think of brushing at the right time even if I talk myself out of it because it's too emotionally painful to think of how bad it is how hard it is for me to be normal. Once you break a routine though it's much harder to get back in so don't beat yourself up over it when (not if) you fail, and do your best to complete tasks ad often as you can

sometimes I tell myself its better to do it for 10 seconds than 0 seconds and make myself get out of bed to do it. Hard, when brushing your teeth seems so pointless compared to *gestures broadly at everything*. Keep going. Supposedly things eventually change

Also having someone else to remind you or do it with you!
