How often do you brush your teeth?

And shower/bath? Do you have trouble with it?

I shower or bath only once a week (but my religion instructs to wash private parts with water each time using toilet so that makes it better)

Brushing my teeth I tend to do only once every third night or so. I struggle with this one! Not motivated enough.

Maybe twice a week brush teeth…

I only shower if I have to meet people or go outside amongst people so it depends, all from 3 times a week to once every 2 weeks.

Nor have I changed my clothes. It’s actually something that makes me ashamed I don’t like that I’m not on top of my ■■■■.

I also have to wash my silverware

Yeah dont understand how some people have the energy to shower every day, and wear and orchestrate different clothing fits every day. But feel you with the feeling a bit ashamed for not being able to keep up as well..

Good luck with the silverware. Do you usually have some method to motivate yourself to do chores?

I brush teeth at least once a day, but usually twice. Once before bed, and then once if I’m going out, in the daytime. I think it’s worth it to keep the dentist at bay.

I shower most days, but not every day. I have thick hair so it’s hard to get it in shape without a shower.

I gargle Chlorhexadine mouthwash every morning. I may physically brush every other day. Its not great.

Bathing. This week, with my wife being at home with me and being on top of my care - Ive bathed every day. But usually I may bath once per week. Tricky stuff when one gyms and such.

I shower at least every other day but sometimes everyday. The only thing I don’t like about showering is his cold it is when I get out of the shower during the cooler months. But I do it anyway

I showered once a day for decades, even with schizophrenia and tried to brush my teeth twice a day. Then a couple of years ago I was only brushing my teeth once a day. Now, I got lazy and sometimes on my days off or on the weekend I might not shower unless I’m going to an appointment. I’m pretty good at brushing my teeth once in the morning and once at night, I read that you should brush your teeth for two minutes at a time so starting a few months ago I time myself on my watch and brush for two minutes,.
