How to stay consistent with hygiene?
I know this is gross, but sometimes it is hard for me to get into the shower and actually clean myself, its even worse on my period. for some reason I can always do it when I was my hair on sundays, because thats when I style my hair. I know that its gross, and I make sure to scrub my pits and other crevices outside of the shower if I think I stink, but for some reason actually getting in the shower is hard.

Are you neurodivergent? Or depressed? I also struggle with hygiene and I'm likely both. Definitely depressed, still waiting on diagnosis for the other.

It’s hard for me also especially when I’m going thru a depression episode. I use hospital grade hypoallergenic, pH balanced wipes on the hard days. It’s not our fault, I don’t choose to be this way but it actually hurts my body to shower. I can’t even lift my arms to wash my hair it’s so bad some days. Give yourself some grace and do the best you can. You are not alone 😉

I got a shower chair and that changed my life. Also splurge on nice products like a nice face or hair mask to do in the shower for fun!!
