It's one of the things no one talks about when it comes to mental health issues. It is quite common 👥️

Very, very normal in my (and others I know) experiences. It's very hard to do something such as brush my teeth when I'm really just doing the least to make it day to day; I don't know how often I ever brushed my teeth while I was in uni, and have only been getting a tiny bit better about it in the last year since I've graduated. It's definitely normal when you're struggling to do something as trivial as brushing your teeth, imo.

Oh absolutely. I’ve struggled with basic hygiene things for YEARS, and being sick or depressed just makes it even worse. But I’ve been much better at it since using Finch. Gotta help my bird grow 🥺

I second using Finch! It's been a big reason why I've been able to keep up on any sort of basic hygiene routines. Plus my lil Pablo is so cute 🥺 I do it for them 🤣
