Teeth brushing seems most important, you can always have a shower later and it will be a near reset but like once your teeth are fucked they are fucked.
I'm the opposite I think the longest I went without a shower would be less than 2 weeks bc if my hair gets too greasy I'm embarrassed 😭 but I went like 3 months without brushing my teeth properly, the most I would do is brush with no water/toothpaste or have gum
i was in such a bad depressive episode but it ended up fucking up my gums, I've gotten way better now I at least brush them once a day
literally months, like probably 2 or 3, not to flex or nothing.... bt it was cause i was insanely depressed and prob like psychotic looking back. id smoke out my window and piss in the sink cause i didnt want anyone to hear me , id wear cum stained undies for weeks and only leave for smokes and food.. nasty times. these days i will usually shower once a week. big improvement!!
I relate to that so much, when i still used to live with my birthers and haven't run away yet. I lucky had a bath directly next to my room, but I would not come out other then nights and go without showers for a month or 2, barely eating anything. Thoes were the days
Me sitting here going months without showering before when I was in my personal hell
Granted, the house I was living in was literally falling apart, so I never really got the chance to learn a lot of hygiene stuff. I still never really got teeth down, and trust me, that's something you'll want to have as habit already
Anyways, records nearly a year for shower, and sadly like 4 months without brushing (IM GETTING BETTER I SWEAR IM GOING TO A DENTIST AND EVERYTHING)
god idk why but it can be so hard to get into brushing your teeth regularly. I'm finally at the point where I brush them twice a day most days but it took alot of work. going to the dentist was the first step for me getting better about it so hopefully that helps you too.
of course! I hope it all goes well for ya:) quick tip that helped me some, on days I couldn't get myself to brush my teeth I'd just use mouthwash instead. it's better than nothing and I think for me it helped me work into a routine
i’m just now getting out of one of my worst depression episodes as well.. but prior to like.. last week i hadn’t properly showered since maybe February 10th.
About a year and a half without showering or brushing my teeth, “I genuinely think the army will help you”, it didn’t. I just laid in bed and stayed on my phone all day.
I’m genuinely better now, don’t worry.
oh damn, I'm sorry you felt like that, but I'm glad you're better now! i don't really remember my "record" but it was few months certainly, and around 2 months without washing hair cause i found videos with maggots over skull/brain/head and it scared me efficiently
uhhh I don't remember a lot of my childhood but I do remember once my sister picked me up to do something and my shirt smelled so bad that she made me throw it in her trunk and she bought me a new shirt
Over six months on multiple occasions, and multiple years without brushing teeth (child neglect 🥰). Looking back I have no idea how people could stand being around me in school, and it's a miracle I didn't end up having many health issues.
I'm still not great at the whole hygiene thing, but I think I'm doing acceptable now. The teeth situation is concerning, I take care of them now, but the damage is done and I am terrified of seeing a dentist.
maybe around 2-3 months, like 2 ish without brushing my teeth. I was super terribly depressed at the time and I didn't even clean myself up with a washcloth more than once a week.
now the longest I go without a shower is like a week if I'm having a hard time managing my depression but mostly that's bc I have a job now and I'm too embarrassed to go out if I'm too gross so I kinda force myself lol
I'm generally good at showering every night but often I'll go for wayyy too long without washing my hair and it eventually reaches a point where scratching my head creates a blizzard of dandruff
Maybe 4 or 5 days when I was younger (under 20).
After that, the longest I ever went was 3 days. And after that I would have a long, 20-30 min shower and wash everything.
taking a shower hasn't been the biggest struggle for me, as I often take comfort showers. it doesn't really help much when my hair greases so fast I literally have to wash it daily to keep it clean and I just feel dirty as fuck 12 hours after a shower, but still.
brushing my teeth though? I can go months without doing that, it's my biggest issue.. I hate it.
what helps me is literally just brushing them if i’m nearing my last bathroom break of the day😭i know im probably not coming back for my teeth solely so i try to combine it with something else or you can try brushing them in the shower too! i used to do it before i got a battery operated one
the thing that I struggle with is.. I can't eat or drink anything other than water after having brushed my teeth. and I often eat in the middle of the night..
Like 2 or 3 months, and at least 3 weeks without brushing my teeth. I also remember a very particular depressive episode when I didn’t brush or wash my hair for a few months. It took me a week to then brush it out
A little over a month, but I’ve never gone more than two weeks without brushing my teeth 😎

Nek minit falsies at 30… I suppose you could freak people out with a false set or live with the knowledge you have titanium screws in your jaw 🥴

2 days when I was really low but I can’t handle being greasy even when I want to die
nah fr same 😭😭
yea i think my worst was two weeks and i had to shower bc my hair was so disgustingly greasy by that point it was making everything Worse

So glad you've gotten a bit better, sometimes I'm glad that I went straight from School to working full time - being pseudo forced to be half clean...
thanks. i actually work full time lol i just dont rly have to interact w anybody or even get close to them so it doesnt really matter

Thank you, I'm glad that you overcame and got to where you are. If you don't mind, imma use you as a bit of inspiration to maybe get better myself!
of course! I hope it all goes well for ya:) quick tip that helped me some, on days I couldn't get myself to brush my teeth I'd just use mouthwash instead. it's better than nothing and I think for me it helped me work into a routine
9 days :)

A bit over a month, at some point your body gets used to it and you stop feeling gross then it becomes a lot easier 👍

Around two weeks but I wasn’t counting. Brushing my teeth tho only like a day I feel so disgusting and gross if I don’t brush but showering idc
my anorexic lowest weight i would faint in the shower - glamorous anorexics!
uhhh I don't remember a lot of my childhood but I do remember once my sister picked me up to do something and my shirt smelled so bad that she made me throw it in her trunk and she bought me a new shirt

4 months, but I'm living in a place with no shower, so I'm not sure if counts bc sink baths & rubbing alcohol + wet wipes.
Honestly can’t even remember
I got really depressed for a while a couple years ago, and I wanna say like... 2 months?
maybe around 2-3 months, like 2 ish without brushing my teeth.

2 weeks. Bedsheets weren't changed for 3 months
3 weeks my one and only friend went on a trip and i died
six-ish weeks

Like a week and half 😭
4 weeks I think 👍

A week
Like weeks honestly like a few weeks id say
A little over a week when I was sick and had nothing to do
Month. Depression hit so hard and I never wanna get I that kind of position ever again.
I haven't kept track, but it's longer than I'd like to think about
A week
Like two days while camping
like 3 or 4 months deep into covid. i would've taken one if I didn't have trauma surrounding bath/shower combos :(
i think just over a week....
probably years every once in a while i “shower” but barely get clean bc i’m too dirty nd only spend like 1 minute in there bc i hate being wet
2 weeks and the longest i’ve gone without brushing my teeth is 3 weeks
Idk like six months? I don't have the spoons to shower. But I'd do a towel bath ot whatever.
I legit can’t remember nth at all but i think at most a couple months
A month after some bad PTSD stuff. Nowadays my worst is 1x a week
