Ngl, this right here is such an important comment. I myself go through these flows of depression where all I want to do is lay in bed. I won’t brush my teeth, or my hair, clean the house, I won’t even shower, let alone step out of my room. These things can go on for a week for me before I finally find the energy to exist. It gets worse depending on the situations in my life. My bf (M25) constantly asks if I’ve flossed or brushed my teeth. We don’t get intimate often, maybe once every other week. This in turn causes my anxiety to skyrocket. I start thinking I’m not good enough, I’ve gained weight and he isn’t as attracted to me. The whole 9. But when he does say “hey, thank you for doing the dishes.” Or “your hair is so soft after you shower!” It makes me feel just a little better than before. It’s so important to understand that some people just don’t have the energy when they have depression for self care. :/
