Guys why do we struggle so much to shower??!! Like literally it is such a battle for me. My weekly goal with my case manager is to shower every other day.... and most of the time I can’t even do that...
What’s the deal??

(*this post isn’t meant to be negative.... I actually want to know why I struggle with this so much... and it is refreshing to see that I’m not alone!!)

personally, for me, it's a mix of BDD, not having any reason to shower in the first place (it's not like I see anyone), and chronic pain

I guess we all have our own reasons. I'm not going to shower and make an effert to look nice, just to sit on the sofa and watch tv 2 seconds later. it just seems like a wasted effert. I mean: if I'm going to somewhere like therapy or out to the shops, it's a diffrent story (though I still don't think it essential to dress up really nice). I've smelled some pretty disgusting people in the mall, 1 more won't hurt.

for the record: I love my perfume, and can't go anywhere without it, so I very rarely smell

I took a shower this morning, but didn't wash my hair. I will get my hair washed and cut at the salon tomorrow.

I showered and am dressed because my pharmacy delivered my meds a few hours ago.

Home delivery is AWESOME!!! And, it's FREE!

It is complicated for me.
I am lucky to shower every4-5 days so that is not even twice a week.
I shower when my hair needs to be washed.
I have to really talk myself into showering....

It takes me a long time once in there....I kind of have OCD about the way/order that I wash myself. I count pumps for soap dispensing...numbers vary for different body parts. Then I have to worry about running out of hot water... since I am so big drying off becomes a chore. I have run the hot water for so long it is very humid in there and drying time double...having to redry etc. fortunately my hair drys quickly.
My bathroom floor is dirty from hairspray and I stick to the floor....hate that. I need to wash the bath mat as it is sticky as well.
Taking a shower is stressful to me.
