I have these sorts of "can't get out of bed" days all the time. It happens to me a lot on days I'm not working and don't have the pressure to get ready right away.
Sometimes it'll make me lie in bed for hours, so then I'll feel like never getting up because I look and feel so gross and un-cute :( But if I do manage to pull myself together and go through my shaving + skin care routine (maybe even a full shower), it always ends up making me feel a lot better.
But it sucks that doing all that is so time-consuming, especially the damn shaving, ugh. I can't wait to get to that point in HRT when the face and body hair growth slows down.
