I also avoid showering when I can. I don't know why either exactly because I always feel alright once I'm there - that or I burst into tears if I'm in a depression.

I would guess that that has something to do with it - when I showered or when I went to bed were the only times I could cry freely growing up... have probably associated both with that.

Also when I'm depressed I just don't give a rat's ***** about much. And if I'm avoiding it while in an up then it just means I'm too "busy" to bother. haha.

Still keep mostly to my schedule though.
