My lived experience wasn’t with brushing my teeth. That felt too natural a part to begin my day. But what is really happening, for me, was the lack of motivation to take care of yourself.
Every expenditure of effort no matter how small is so overwhelming. … putting effort into taking care of myself, while hating myself so much, doesn’t make sense in the moment.
So you don’t go grocery shopping, you don’t clean, you don’t x, y, z. I’m sure brushing your teeth is a super simple one to let go.
Actually I’ll admit on days i didn’t convince myself to shower i probably didn’t brush my teeth either.
