My hygiene is impeccable and I don't know why

[HeavenOnlyKnows]

It's weird. I have every intention of
CTB before the summer is over, yet I can't stop flossing my teeth. It's such a little thing, comparatively (compared to not showering regularly, which is a huge tipoff to other people of your mental state when you probably don't want them to know), but I don't feel ready for bed unless I've cleaned my teeth and gums thoroughly. I'm sure the coroner will be pleased.

I suppose hygiene rituals are the only things that make me feel in control. I wish that it was as easy to live a long, healthy life as it is to prevent tartar buildup. But it's not, so I brush my teeth even as I approach the end. To remind myself that at the very least, I did try to get better even when it ultimately was pointless.

I have no awnser but my hygiene is terrible. Between autism (sensory issues) and depression I can barely manage the minimum

Same here, everytime I want to brush my teeth, I question every thought I have, because nothing makes sense. I wonder why I do anything, even writing this reply. It's as if I don't believe, that everything is meaningless, even though I think it is.

I think it's better than not taking care of teeth at all, for certain as that could just lead to way more suffering, it's awful how there's unlimited potential to suffer.

In life you've formed good habits and bad habits. As FC stated it is better to do it than to not. I manage to brush my teeth and floss but fluctuate on showers though I never go longer than 48hrs really.

Lucky you! My hygiene is so terrible. It's a shame my home is cleaner than my body.
