I'm not sure how it happened, but I have slowly grown into neglecting my personal hygiene and I don't care. I used to be very clean. I would brush my teeth twice a day and shower everyday without fail, for as long as I could remember.
Now I brush my teeth about once a day and don't shower everyday.
Before this would be unthinkable for me, but now I don't seem to mind.
Should I be concerned?
Frankly I am a bit concerned that my lack of hygiene is not concerning to me. From my research neglecting personal hygiene is a sign of dementia, depression or is a part of the schizophrenia prodrome.
I'm pretty sure it is not dementia, I'm way too young for that. That leaves depression or schizophrenia.
I was depressed a few days ago, but I don't feel depressed now. It could still be a possibility though.
I was reading up on the prodrome thing and I hope I don't have that because my symptoms can all technically be explained by the prodrome.
