(Rant and asking for advice) (College) I'm not sure how to get back into the swing of things.

...See more I'm not that afraid to admit that the main reason I want to go is monetary. I don't want to bust my *** forever because I didn't bust my *** for four years, and I firmly believe that I could learn all the "well-rounded individual" side classes from the library. One of the other reasons why I want to go back is not only to help my job prospects but to increase my social standing, too. When people find out you don't want to go or - even worse - dropped out, they just treat you different. It definitely doesn't help that I sound "rural" at times because of the people I talk to online, not to mention my brain fog making it difficult to read people and speak clearly. The trouble lies in the fact that I've been couped up in my house for years, and before that, couped up in my head when I had a tough time with depression and the other kids in school while getting no outside help whatsoever. So I'm wondering: what can I do to prepare? My depression makes even the most simple of tasks draining and I was not really taught discipline, coasting through most things. The rigorous work, I feel, is going to kill me in the state I'm in. But I know I can do something about it. Any advice and thoughts welcome.
(Gross) How do I push through and take (full) showers every day?

...See more Hey all. The gist of my message is that I try to hop in every day or at the very least every two days for hygiene, but going the full mile with shaving and washing my hair and all that drains me of energy every time I do it. Even if I put it into bite-sized chunks, it seems to be something I can't do, even if I get the other parts of my routine down fine. Does anyone have any advice on this?
