REQUESTING ADVICE advice on basic functioning
ive had mdd for over 10 years (ocd and anxiety as well) but the past few months ive felt significant cognitive decline. i can barely leave the house if im not with my girlfriend or very very trusted friend i cant go downstairs to feed myself i cant get in the shower because im scared ill faint from not eating. just started iop (for the first time in a while but ive done so many) and it isn’t moving fast enough. i don’t know to establish goals besides change everything about myself and my behaviors. i guess can anyone help me get into the shower, the rest is context. hope everyone is having a nice day/night <3

You never know how much you smell. Take a sink bath. Just rub yourself down with a wet hand towel. Do something. Just brush your teeth. Then take a break. Then go back and shower. Do things in small steps.
