Struggling with Personal Hygiene

I hate the shower, but then I get in and I hate to leave. And then I leave and I am mad, wet, and cold. I try for once a week. But I have failed this goal many times.

I have no motivation to bathe or brush my teeth. I comb the lice out of my hair from time to time because I think it's fun but it's too stressful having to take my clothes off and constantly having to spit. I only brush my teeth these days when they hurt but I go to the dentist as often as possible. I don't get why I'm like this.

I will just find a way to like start slow wash my hands up to my elbows and build my way to taking a full blown shower

I can for sure relate to this I have my moments where I just want to stay in bed not do anything where I completely skip showering. I get easily tired or just get to a point of just not motivated to do anything.

I can related to this. I've been showering at least every other day, but I used to go at least a week without showering. I always beat myself up over it too. Like, "Why can't I keep up with my personal hygeine like a normal person?" Or "Why can't I change my sheets regularly?" I think the reasons are, I'm tired.

I can relate to this i only shower twice a week if that. How about you put reminders on your bathroom mirror so you can remember or you can have someone remember you.

What I do is break it into steps, don't think of it as going to shower, just go to the bathroom and turn the water on...ok now the water is running and I don't like wasting it, so I might as well get in, I don't always bathe bc sometimes I just can't bring myself to do it, but at least I'm in the shower the water running over you helps, it's enough to not feel bad about it for me

Same here
