I showered on Friday, but not since. If I recall correctly, I think I might have even washed my hair, but honestly, I'm not sure about that one. I shower more than washing my hair.

Being on disability and having some sex life issues doesn't help motivate me that much to do proper self-care. If I have enough pressures to do it, I will, but I have so few. On Friday my sister was coming, so that's why I showered. Plus, I hadn't showered for a while before that. I saw my dad yesterday, but I felt I was good enough, so I didn't bother doing more than brushing my hair and putting on some make up. Not a lot of makeup. Sometimes if I really do notice I stink I either finally shower or give myself a washcloth bath.

I have gone further downhill with self-care over the years. I've had issues with few showers/hair washings since disability, but in the beginning I brushed my teeth at least twice per day. Now I sometimes only brush them before I go to bed. The dentist has been sending me e-mail after e-mail of reminders to go to him for a checkup, but I ignore them because we don't have dental insurance, and I know my gums would bleed a lot since I never floss anymore. I'm pretty sure I don't have any cavities or other issues other than my teeth being grinded down (bad nervous/stress habit).
