I have been there / am there too. A shower is pointless sometimes, and when depressed, it's a HUGE challenge. Why bother ? Who cares ? Do I give a f ? So what ? The list is endless, I know ! I've been there, and unless I feel rank, I rarely shower, even now. As in 3 days without a shower when you see no one, have no reason to, then SO WHAT. Go camping in the outback, and no one showers daily ! SO WHAT ? Don't worry about it !
Yes, I used to be a wide awake at dawn woman, showered daily and ready to go. Hair done, make up, suit on. Hey ho, I became ill, a year in bed. Teeth and showers became unimportant, on a huge basis. Don't tell me, it mattered because I simply DIDN'T CARE ! I never knew if it was raining, snowing , or sunny. I never looked. The bathroom was used when neccesary simply. Sure, a shower/teeth clean feels good, but DON'T beat yourself up, if it didn't happen. The big D robs us of so many things. I might shower tomorrow, I might not. SO WHAT ? Who cares ? I don't ! ! ! So no one tell me, I should ! (for respect to myself etc)
Just my story, not to ambush the thread. Just to say: It doesn't matter ! Baby steps to recover, and P.G. those things, will return, in time. Sorry to waffle.
