Well, I just threw that question into the Google Machine. Which is how I found your thread lol. What I had put in there was at times I do not bathe for months at a time…

(my fiancé and I have had a discussion several times about how not one day have I ever smelled bad) WTH?! Not that I’m complaining nor is my fiancé, LMAO
😜

How do I force myself to do so. The best that I came across in the five minutes i went through until I found yours, was to break the task, bathing, down into smaller, more tangible steps… (Bite size steps, I like to say lol) Saying that breaking it down into bite-size steps would help to allow you of accomplishing your daily bathing routine.

The reason that that plan really makes sense for me, is because the main reason am I unable to get myself to bathe is because, just the idea of me getting myself into the shower, cleaning myself, washing my hair, rinsing my hair, conditioning, my hair, rinsing conditioner for my hair, shaving my legs, drying off, blow drying my naturally long curly hair (that sometimes takes 12 to 14 hours to dry naturally h
ugh 😑) and putting make up on and then finding clothes that I like is hugely, enormous and over-f’’n-welming. Just thinking about it sends me into a deeper depression. Ugh 😑

And for me at least, it really sucks for me because my fiancé whom I’ve been with for seven years now, lives with me, and when we first got together, I had bathed daily and too made myself all pretty from head2toe every single day. Wow just typing that out. Made me realize how much he really probably hates this about my depression also. LMAO 😜

Now I’m going to read through the comments in your thread and see what everyone told you. Hopefully you found yourself a solution that works for you. And too, hopefully I will find at least one here that will work for myself.

Best of all to you & stay
safe out there 🥰

P.S. Yes, I had to edit my comment, and the reason for my doing so is because I have carpal tunnel syndrome. So mostly while on me phone I will use voice to text.

Giving my really strong southern accent that I have, if I forget to check what it says for me, at least half of it is wrong. So I’m pretty happy that I did read it through. Because would have sounded like a second-grader otherwise 😉

Perhaps next time I will remember to check it before I push send. And that right there is I’ll have to say about that. Now I’m going to try and re-create comments on your thread. Lol 😂
