What is it about showering?

Just dont want to do it sometimes. For me I think it wakes me up too much and its just nice to feel mellow and relaxed. What do u guys think?

I have issues too with showering if I am both depressed or manic. When I am depressed its cause I dont want to face the world and having a shower means facing the world in my eyes. When I am manic I just don't have time to do it.

I take a shower every other day, used to be I NEEDED to take one daily or I felt gross, now its like I have to force myself to take one. I dread it, and i cant figure out why.

Depends on my mood, but showering is anywhere from an annoyance to impossible to think about. I do always feel better after I do it so I try to remember that.

I am big into energy works... and water is the best way to get rid of negative energy that accumulates on you

HA! For me, it's like something in my out-of-control life I can have control over... "The WORLD wants me to shower, the WORLD can ****off!! I'm not giving in to the WORLD's expectation of taking a shower!!"

Luckily, I can't ignore my own odor after 2 days

.
I still say the WORLD can **** off, though...

KMBpeace, Beth, Miss Laura.... you all took the words out of my mouth.

Agreed, agreed, agreed.

So glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem. Thanks for posting it.

I am having a harder time with it too. I think that I just dont want to face the day so I put it off.

Miss Laura · May 22, 2011, 07:02 PM

Exactly Jack.... Facing the day means dealing with things we maybe would like not to. I know it is for me

I love showering; it washes all impurities; mental and physical.
It can really make me mellow and then I climb into bed and just hide and sleep

I am glad I am not the one who is shower obsessed.

I shower sometimes when I am bored. I spend so much money on shower products... that it makes me kind a guilty.

I love my showers....except during a lightening storm because I have a skylight right over my shower.

I can end up taking several showers a day....not because society or anyone wants me to....but when anxiety hits, I end up heading for the shower....I bought one of those rain shower heads that give a huge round rain shower over me & it washes the anxiety away down the drain. I really lost it during out ice storm a few years ago....when a panic attack hit, I ran out of propane to heat my water heater & couldn't take the shower to wash the panic attack away (after 4 days without electricity).

When I get really hot & sweaty, a hot shower to wash off the sweat & cool shower to cool me down is the best thing to make me feel better. During the cold winters & having to keep my house very cold over the winter because of the high cost of heating my house.....the hot showers warm me up so well & relax me & keep me warm for quite awhile then curling up under a blanket with my room heater next to my bed with 3 american eskimo dogs on top of me......ah.....it's wonderful.

Would be lost without my showers.

My feeling about showers varies, depending on my state at the time. When I'm heavily depressed, most of my senses are dulled. Coffee tastes bland, sounds are just niggling stimuli, and a shower is work. But if I'm in that can't-stay-still state, coffee tastes either amazing or really vile, then showers can be a real buzz for me.
