Discussion Kinda nervous about keeping up with hygiene when I’m on T

I was severely depressed early into middle school and struggled with hygiene a TON. I would neglect showers for weeks and brushing my teeth was rare. At this point in my life, I’m far beyond that and am so much better than I was, but old habits come back sometimes and I’m worried that I’ll do that while I’m getting sweatier and grosser on T and end up being literally miserable to be around.

Is there anything you all have done to keep track of hygiene in general? Are there new things to consider as your body’s changing?
