Struggling with Self-Care: Any Advice?

I struggle with this as well, find your favorite smell good things!! Take the time for yourself to take a long hot shower, exfoliate, take the time for yourself! You deserve it!!

Use products that make you happy. Treat yourself to good quality shower products that make your skin soft and smell amazing. Get a fancy electric tooth brush and a good tasting tooth paste or mouth wash. Buy a really nice and cute hair brush. These are things that help me to take care of myself so I hope they could help you.

Make a list of what needs to be done & check if off as you finish each task!

Yeah it’s been like 2+ weeks since my last shower 😭

Before I was diagnosed I had problems with hygiene, too. Here's some advice that helped me a LOT and has changed my hygiene game! I suggest (if you have the money to invest) buying hygiene products that get you excited to use. As I got older and had money I was able to buy shampoos and conditioners that appealed to my senses and needs. I also bought deodorants that smelled amazing to me ( I always recommend aluminum free/antiperspirant free deodorants). I bought body sprays that made me feel good and learned how to apply them so I had a wafting scent when I came walking by. And doing this has helped tremendously! If you're not able to get many products, start with one or two and go from there. (: I hope this helps. <3

I can relate I have a hard time brushing my hair and teeth I go weeks on end without taking care of myself that's why I am glad to have a supportive partner

I can relate, I shower at night and on the weekends rarely shower.

I relate it’s pretty bad i only shower like once or twice a week. Only tips i have are makeup wipes instead of washing your face and good ole febreeze
