You’re not the only one, I don’t brush my teeth, take showers, etc. It is super important to do so but never feel bad for not being able to do it. We all have our limits when we are at our lows and just doing the best we can. Thank you for sharing :)

Hey! You are definitely not alone in this. I struggle with personal hygiene when I have a depressive episode and since I live alone, my apartment also gets really messy and dirty during these times. I feel a lot of guilt about this, I never talk about it with my close friends even though we talk about other aspects of my depression.
