wow I didn't know other people struggled with this too. now I feel less embarrassed. I have always felt that both showering and applying makeup are indicators for me of my stability! even before I was told I may be bipolar...it just seems like such a chore and so hard. I can't explain it. when I am not feeling well it's just overwhelming to think about, especially washing my hair. teeth brushing also! I still do it but it's just really hard sometimes.

I do like bath products, maybe I should give that a try again. I am glad to know I am not the only one that feels this way.
