I have no idea if I'm actually bi-polar or not, but I have had a shower situation too! I don't know that I'd say its really a specific aversion to showering, but I find myself just not doing it. Especially lately. There is always something better to do - in the morning I've got kids to get ready and take to school, and at night I could be watching tv, or sleeping, or playing solitaire mindlessly until my brain stops racing so I can finally fall asleep. I've found the same thing with brushing teeth. I never really thought about it at all, but personal hygiene IS hard for me, even when I'm not feeling depressed. I like the comment I read earlier that when depressed we can't be bothered, and when manic we have better things to do... That resonates with me.
