If anyone else struggles with this, how do I get motivation to do simple tasks such as brushing my teeth or showering? I also forget to eat and drink water and I genuinely hate myself for being this lazy and tired. I have a problem with sleeping too much and i'm pretty sure I have some sort of hypersomnia. I get tired so fast and I know it's because of my anemia :(
Any encouraging words is appreciated as well <3

That's the kicker, actually fucking doing it SUCKS. The way I managed it was embarrassing, but sorta worked. I think it relied a lot on who I am as a person, though.

I'd set 5 minute alarms, and I'd do something productive until the alarm goes off, then I'd set an alarm for 10-15 minutes and do nothing. Then another 5 minutes of productivity, and you see the cycle. YMMV

Actually that sounds like a great idea, and 5 mins isn't too long or draining. I'll try it for myself, thank you so much!!
