Brushing teeth

NAS73180

Brushing teeth: why am I resistant to it. Am I lazy?

I think I should spend a huge sum on a toothbrush: I would be happier to use it.

  • I must admit I don't like brushing mine and have an electric one but have the feeling it is not as good as manual brushing.  I also should floss everyday but hardly ever do.

    Yes.  Sometimes nothing seems it can be enough- ever.   The dissatisfaction seems so symptomatic of depression that I feel that I need to tell myself: ‘You, human, yes you, you are sick.  That is what is happening.  As you feel the struggle be as kind to yourself as if you were in the same room as a sick person.  What would I say to a sick person about this issue?   Do the tiniest amount.  I am here for you. I would encourage them because they are sick.  I would try to get as much help as possible for them.  I would lighten their load any way I could’
