I was happy to see this thread because I've run into this problem and have asked myself, why don't I want to shower? I get depressed easy and am not on any meds to give you an idea of where I am. Lack of motivation is a big one, which comes form being depressed. Being naked and getting wet means you have to FEEL and if you are down that can be very shocking. They used to throw people in the shower years ago in mental institutions to shock them out of behaviors. Health people have come to the conclusion that daily showers are not good for the skin. PTA baths are good(pits, tits and ***) can you handle that? When I was with my sister as she was dying, I realized that I hadn't brushed my hair for 3 days! My brotherinlaw suffers from depression and lives in the country and when he had to go to town he'd run deodorant up and down on the thighs of his jeans and said, ready to go...haha. I work with dogs and they prefer a little funk and if I haven't showered, I spray myself with vinnegar and vanilla extract to "freshen up". You're not alone, man, its part of the dis-ease...you're okay and normal for this dis-ease, just do the best you can for now....it's because it's hard to FEEL!
