I got ya buddy! Add a daily task in your phone and use post it notes on your bed.

Not brushing your teeth in this economy is the worst you can do (been there done that!) and depression is a huge bitch.

So do it for your futureself. Go brush your teeth. NOW! And thell your futureself that they are worth every moment of self care.

Stay strong. U are not alone...

Your depressed teeth brushing reminder gang!

If your mindset is that your teeth or in fact your entire body only has to last you a couple more years before you inevitably jump of a bridge, you don't have to really take care of it. Trust me if you're not trying to die of old age, you find out that your body is incredibly resilient to neglect. So I wont be doing any of that. Cheers.

Don't do it for that reason: do it for how it makes you feel NOW, in that very moment, when it's all fresh and clean and you can go to bed without tasting all nasty. Besides, don't you want people to enjoy staring at your beautiful teefs on your corpse? /s on the latter but the former is genuine: do it for YOURSELF! But ofc you do you boo.
