Wow this thread is still going that's great! I replied back in March and I'm pleased to report that the showering situation is much improved. Could be because it is summer now and therefore warmer, so no being too cold when I get out and it helps cool me off lol. Maybe I'm also at a place in my cycle where the depression is just about taunting me that it is about to lift. I soooo want to believe it! Go away depression, be gone forever for all I care!!

I'm also now just barely moved into a new place with no shower access (sort of long story) and so my shower situation is about to take a new turn. I plan to join a gym so I can actually think about (maybe even just maybe) get on a work out machine and work-the-eff-out for once and then and only then will I be allowed to shower. So the shower is now my reward. Must work out first for it though. Must actually do this. Will see how this goes and report back in a month or so. Cheers my friends!
