Do you hate to shower?

I do, especially if I'm not going anywhere
showers bring up a lot of things for me
firstly, their's the issue of my looks. I hate seeing myself naked, and I hate my body
secondly: their is the issue of my fibro pain / general body pain (showers make them 10 times worse)
third: like I say if I'm just going to shower for no reason (like no one's going to see me) who cares
and also the issue of my incontinence
I have good days and bad days, but the bad days are extremely bad (I could get in the shower, 5 minits later you'd not know I had one)
I only shower if their's a dam good reason too- and what is thought of as a dam good reason is usually going to see my therapist or some other person
and even then it's difficult to put myself through it.. but I have a thing: I don't want my therapist to smell me. I just don't. I want my therapist to think I always make an effert for her, and to be fair, I do a lot of the time
