As a 35-year-old woman dealing with depression, not showering has been a real struggle for me. It’s hard to find the motivation to take care of myself when I feel so down. But I’ve been trying to focus on small steps towards self-care. Whether it’s just getting out of bed and putting on clean clothes, or taking a short walk outside, every little thing helps. I’ve also found that reaching out to loved ones for support and understanding has made a big difference. It’s okay to take things one day at a time, and to be gentle with yourself during this challenging time. Remember, you’re not alone in this and asking for help is a sign of strength. Hang in there, things will get better.
