Difficulty with hygeine

Dry shampoo helps out wonderfully when you want to both give yourself a break but also want to feel like you are keeping up with the world around you and not letting sza win. It can give you a buffer day or two appearance wise and therefore self esteem and being hard on yourself wise which is just great because this disease is hard enough without having to constantly be reminded physically of the struggle

I'll have to get some dry shampoo then! I struggle with hygiene too, including brushing my teeth. I do shower and brush teeth if I have to for the sake of others when I smell really bad though. Sometimes pacing around my neighborhood helps me for some reason, don't know if it's an endorphin thing or the sweat just motivates me.

i have done something to improve my hygiene !!!
I spent a month picking out a new hair color and a new cut. I also had to go out and be in the real world for 3 hours to accomplish the task.
3 weeks ago i got a new look that if i wanted it to look the way i had it cut i would have to wash and condition it as well as blow dry and flat iron it to create what i intended.
It worked my hair is awesome when i take care of it and i am so happy when its clean and styled that i find it easier to force myself to get cleaned up. i take 2 showers a week now that is better than i was doing before.
I also bought some new toothpaste called pronamel intensive enamel repair that i am going to really try to start using tomorrow.
i will post a picture of my hair cut and new color for you guys to see what i chose.

my thoughts and heart are with you all suffering from poor hygiene it feels like you can't muster up the energy or strength to do daily tasks.
I'm going to try i want to work up to a shower every 3 days if i can. wish me luck friends.

look at you go.

that sounds brilliant- all that you're doing to improve

I certainly need to do something with my hair (it's so long now), and I probably need to do my teeth a bit more often (the kids skill I found on alexa doesn't actually motivate me, I just use it for the jokes)

even yesterday when my breath was smelling unpleasant I didn't do my teeth. just dulled it with cola. I'm not sure what went so wrong, used to be really good with teeth

I absolutely have to wash my hair every day, but I do it in the kitchen sink. I also absolutely have to brush my teeth every morning, and I just do it in the bathroom sink.

I HATE having a shower. I had one the other day - first time since last October when I was on vacation. But I felt like I really needed it. Otherwise I shower as needed - literally only a handful of times a year. I just absolutely hate it to no end. I bought a hot tub six years ago thinking it would be the answer to my issues, but I never use it. I just hate getting wet for any reason.

Tamster thats a gorgeous color! That is about my cut, only a little shorter, and with baby bangs. Finally having the haircut i want - finally knowing what haircut i want? - priceless!

Wellll....
the pink finally isn't noticable in my hair and i like the color but i am thinking that i might have it changed with no hint of pink. I still shower about every 3 days mostly cause my hair is a mess and i can't fix it. and i am still horrible about brushing my teeth. I have an exam scheduled for the 31st of July with the dentist so i have to start brushing some.
the next path i am going to take with my hair so i won't fall back into old habits is..
having the base hair colored dk brown or black then having Highlights all over the top of it and a big swatch in the front on the side. If i can find a picture i will post it asap.

I've had this problem for years. I recommend a pirate's bath (a washcloth at the sink), dry shampoo and just trying to keep the sweatier parts clean.

Another thing that kinda worked for me was putting myself on a shower schedule. I told myself I can shower 3x a week and choose the days, as long as a reached my goal of 3 days a week. It worked sometimes.

Its time to fix the pink hair most of it has washed out but it is time to make a real change for the better so i found a cut and colors i want next, the appointment is set for july 10th, this is the picture and the only difference i want is that the sides and front are a bit longer but the back of it is just like the picture and the color is perfect for what i was wanting.
i hope you all like it

I dont have issues taking a shower. I hate smelling rank so I make sure to take one before I head to bed. The problem for me is brushing my teeth. They're yellowed, but not super bad. Mostly from cigarettes and coffee I'd assume but I manage to brush my teeth when I get a funny taste in my mouth in the mornings. Sorry if i grossed you out or anything.

I have chronic fatigue syndrome, dissociation, PTSD, and other issues. I can sometimes go days or weeks without showering or even brushing my teeth or hair. I smoke cigs and go outside to smoke, since I do not want my apartment to smell, and I rarely go out anywhere (almost always order in), so I feel no need to exert what little energy I have on grooming or showering, though I know I should. I am not diagnosed anymore with depression, but maybe I have a weird covert form of it. I do have chronic fatigue syndrome that has been diagnosed. I am too tired after a shower or any bit of exertion.

I smell today my mother and brother said to me. I guess, I am stinky. I will take a shower today for sure.
