Where am I supposed to get the motivation to change my clothes?

Spill something on yourself

Instructions unclear, I'm lying in my bed all wet.

Set up an automated system to video call your boss every day at 10 AM. That'll get your anxiety up!

Hopefully you would understand how to trick yourself into doing small things like that but if not then I would recommend speaking with a professional

I can hire someone to change my clothes for me?

I tell myself that taking the first step (of whatever task I'm avoiding) doesn't mean I have to complete whatever task I'm avoiding. Somehow reminding myself that, for example, taking my socks off doesn't mean I HAVE to take a shower, gets me over the initial hurdle of resistance. If necessary, I will lie to myself about each step of a task, with full knowledge I'm only saying it to trick myself into doing something. At some point, I decide that I might as well finish (usually).
