First of all, thank you very much for your compassion and understanding. Second, part of my not wanting to shower stems from knowing that I will have to take an hour to pick dreads out of my hair. I have butt length very curly hair. It takes gobs of conditioner, a particular type of comb, and a lot of time and upkeep. When I get depressed like this, I have a tendency to just throw it up in a bun. This habit however, often makes it incredibly difficult to take care of it later.
I injured myself last week at some point, and was unable to do my own dishes or kitchen. So I hired someone to do it for me. I asked her to just do the dishes, but she could see that I needed some help. She cleaned my entire kitchen without expecting any extra pay. I will be keeping her on.

Again thank you so much for your compassionate words. It helps a lot to know that people care. Thank you
