I have a routine that I do. It's a meditation technique.
It does get either harder or easier.
One thing about bipolar. You can count on change.
I hope you can find some peace.
Maybe an occasional bath instead of shower.

I'm so sorry you deal with this and pain and fatigue too. (((Hugs))). It's really terrible. It takes me 3 hours to get ready to be seen in public because I have to rest in between every task. Shower, rest, brush hair, rest, brush teeth, rest, get dressed, rest, etc. you probably understand.
I do take baths. They are hard to get in and out of but are very relaxing compared to showers and actually help greatly with my pain. The problem is I don't feel psychologically "clean" unless I actually shower so I can't go out in public without showering.
