Like so many others, I thought I was the only one like this! I don't know what it is, but the build-up to it is excruciating. Once I'm in it, I'm okay and sometimes I even love it. But working my way in there is what's hard. I am a nurse, so I have to shower before work, but on my off days, it's awfully hard to get in there. We have a hot tub and I tell myself that's good enough.
