Self care mutual accountability/ support thread

[Nodeepdiving]

I have a tendency not to look after my body well. Yesterday, I went to the dental hygienist for a polish and scale and it was bad. I know it would be, as I've been stuck in a cycle of neglecting my teeth and then having horrendously uncomfortable/ painful cleanups all my adult life. I am determined to not let it get that bad again, I can't afford to ignore my oral health now I'm late 30s. I've ordered an electric toothbrush, which should be arriving tomorrow. My goal is to

• brush my teeth properly every morning
• never go to bed without brushing my teeth
• floss before brushing every night
• use interdental brushes every night

So far I'm on a two-day streak💪🏻

Would anyone like to join me for some mutual accountability/ support for self-care routines?

I’m in.
I’ve been working on improving my dental hygiene for a few months. It’s improved but not as good as it could be.
My current goals for this thread however are
More consistent with meds
drink more water
improve my sleep

Hows it going @Nodeepdiving?

Hi! Thanks for joining me! I brushed my teeth this morning. Haven't gone to bed yet but planning on doing the full dental routine again tonight. Unfortunately, my electric toothbrush hasn't arrived yet and might not until Saturday. My teeth already feel less clean than on Tuesday, despite my best efforts!

How is it going for you?

All done. 3-day streak now but the novelty is definitely wearing off

So I’m managing to drink more water and be more consistent with meds. Improving my sleep is another story…
