Up until recently, maybe the past year to year and a half or so, since I broke up with my ex-girlfriend, I would've said no, that no matter how bad I'd gotten I could at least count on going to work and showering/washing my hair/brushing my teeth every day or every few days. But lately I've gone as long as a couple weeks on all accounts — to the point that, for example, I'm laying here in bed and couldn't tell you the last time I showered or washed my hair. Definitely not my finest moments and one of the things I'm least proud of, feel the most shame about, which unfortunately just perpetuates the behavior.

Also doesn't help because I have social anxiety and puts that high or through the roof when I worry about people thinking or being able to see that I haven't showered.
