So when you take a shower, do you put the dirty ones back on? If you take a shower it's no more trouble to put on clean ones than it is to put on your dirty ones. I'm assuming you don't sleep in a bra, so it is no more trouble to wake up and put on a clean bra than it is to put on a dirty one. See what I'm getting at?
Good on you for trying to change though! Depression and low self esteem often causes people to not take care of their hygiene...and then of course having poor hygiene makes you depressed, and you can see it's a vicious cycle.
Try to make it your new hobby, something you can enjoy! Buy some special body wash or shampoo, underware that makes you feel sexy, etc.
And work on your confidence. Spend a few minutes each day looking in the mirror and complimenting yourself. Do things with your time that give back to others and make you feel proud...this can do wonders for self esteem.
Is there something you'd like to reward yourself with, like maybe a video game, a good book, a trip to the movies? Every time you change your underwear, or your sheets, or brush your teeth, etc...put a quarter in a jar. Once you have enough quarters, buy your reward. This is a good method to making new habits.
IIN to wear the same underwear for a month?

You're right it's no trouble to put on clean underwear after a shower. I do that. Trouble is I don't really shower often.
And I do sleep in a bra. I've considered not wearing one at all but it's so uncomfortable for me.
I just downloaded this app called productivity. Made a lot of goals. Even the small ones should help with motivating me to have a more normal life.
I really like your ideas, I'll definitely try them, thank you!
