I have this as well, I used to shower each day, but somehow it kind of moved back to every other day, and now it is every 2-3 days. I feel gross, but this is definitely a way my depression manifests itself. If I do not have to work for a couple days, I will not eat, shower/bathe, brush my teeth, comb my hair, or change. I will try to just wear my pajamas.

I think I like a bath better than I do a shower. I have body wash and shampoo/conditioner that smells really good, and I always feel so much better. When I am really down, my husband will encourage me to take a bath and keep after me. I get irritated, but I know it is because he loves me and worries. He will also try to encourage me to not lay in bed and hide on my days off, and to eat, and to try to feel better.

I love my husband dearly. I was not always depressed like this, and I hope my medicine will help.

I feel so gross when I get that way, and I hate it, I don't know what it is that causes it, but it is a downward spiral, and I hear you.
