I struggle with basic hygiene
First of all , if you have something mean to say please save it bc typing this and posting it is already embarrassing enough even if it’s just a reddit post
Anyway , I’m a teenage girl that has always struggled with hygiene stuff such as brushing my teeth twice a day and showering every day or at least every other day
As for brushing my teeth I’d say that most of the time I do brush twice a day but I haven’t been doing so for about a month now , maybe I did brush twice a day but only a few times for the past month
And for showering , I rlly struggle with it and sometimes I could go 1-2 weeks without taking one
One time I think I went for more than two weeks
Every single day I tell myself that I’ll take one today , and the day ends and the cycle repeats
Idk how to stop this and the thing is I don’t hate showering , I feel good after taking a shower but getting myself to take one regularly is a semi-impossible task not even trying to be funny .
I hate having greasy hair but this hate doesn’t always succeed in getting me to just shower
And I also do not like lotions , idk what this has to do with basic hygiene but this just popped in my head and I had to type it down
I do use deodorant almost always bc idk
As for smelling bad , I don’t think I got to that point bc I could be sitting alone at school and a friend of mine would ask to sit with me , even when other friends r there or there r empty seats and I receive hugs from my friends every now and then
I’d say that I shower more on school days honestly
And it’s not like I do things that cause me to sweat heavily but please don’t take this as a justification to not showering , bc I do not know why I can not bring myself to shower regularly
Idk what else to add to this honestly but I feel like I have no one to talk to about this , or maybe it’s just too embarrassing for me to bring up to anyone , I don’t like talking abt anything personal to friends or family
Posting here feels easier
So if you have any advice or have struggled with this , I’d really really appreciate any advice given .
thank you for reading this if you did and thank you if you left any advice , tips , or if you just left a comment bc you’re struggling too!
