That's how I felt yesterday too. It's amazing how much effort showering takes when depression rules your life.

I know what you mean, astrongbipolargirl. And not showering can be a hard habit to break even when you come out of depression. I have to go grocery shopping today, so I will be showering. That's progress, because when I was really depressed I would actually go without showering.

Ugh I made a to do list about 4 years ago, stuff like brush teeth, take shower and put it on my wall. A guy I was seeing saw it and I didn't even know how to explain why I had to remind myself to do these things, it was embarrassing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ "Life is way too short to spend another day at war with yourself." |

And I too love showers but don't always take one. I do wash my hair though in the tub every day because I have short hair that sticks up everywhere in the morning and I walk my daughter to and from school every day so I can't stay looking like a complete slob. I would though if I could get away with it

Where did all the showers go.... Years ago I had no prob ever showering, shaving, exfoliating, hair treatments, products, lotions, make up, dressed, put together... Daily sometimes twice a day! and in an hr or less I was out the door looking amazing.... Somewhere all that functionality got lost.
 Partly gradual and not abnormal as I got older, lifestyle changes, less superficial more relaxed work environment, etc... But the Showers??!! Can't remember now exactly when but literally it was like the part of my mind that deals with showers just shutdown or walked away ... been yrs now and even in best stable mindful times and even when hypo... I have to drag myself kicking and screaming into the shower I generally like the shower when I'm in it but still forget all the extras... I might spend time letting the water run over me but strictly basics shampoo, soap, done. It's just confusing and upsetting. FML

I've have come to realize that after 65, some people keep grooming themselves as usual, if not more. Others get depressed and look for an excuse to become skippers. I belong to the latter. Aquagenic urticaria maybe?. Taking a shower is so nice, and so hard now.

Just took one after several days. Have been really sick, but that is no excuse.

I shower everyday now (sometimes miss a day over the weekend but..). I totally get when someone says they can't even shower. When I was in that place it was a major accomplishment. And always was helpful and felt so good when I did. Lol, basically I showered more in the past week than I did in the month of December. It's not funny, it shows I'm doing so much better though. I hope I never have depression like that again, it was the worst experience of my life.
