Im trying to learn how to take care of myself because I’m finally out of my depression era, but it caused me to break the normal people hygiene habits. Some people say shower every day and some say every other day. same goes with washing my hair. Idk 😔

I don’t wanna wash my hair every day and then have it be bad for my scalp, but if I skip a day or two, it gets greasy really fast and can’t stand it

honestly getting into self care does so much for further helping your depression. for hygiene id recommend showering everyday or at-least 3-7days a week and always shower if ur gonna be out in public. depending on hair type u dont have to wash it everyday for my hair i wash every 1-2 weeks because my hair type. id also recommend a skincare routine. once u look better and feel fresh i feel like that also helps u feel better

And I have this bad feeling that I’m wasting water if I shower every day. Also because I wear a shirt for two days and shorts I don’t wash until after a week, but I’m not like- dirty… I just don’t like wasting water doing laundry, and if I shower every day, that means I take off my clothes and waste an outfit I could have otherwise worn longer

I feel almost greedy for being less depressed. Like I’m actually eating food and using water and shit… wasting money on myself that I never used to

Am I supposed to have a full time job just to afford to take a shower and eat three meals every day…? This “American dream” sucks fucking ass cheeks. Life was easier when I could just rot in the dark… who needs to pay electric bills anyway… :/
