I last took a shower Friday morning and I don't feel like taking one today either. I normally take one every other day unless I have appointments 2 or more days in a row. I am wearing different clothes then I was wearing on Friday and a mix of the same and different ones from yesterday. I'm not depressed just lazy and I'm not going anywhere anyways.

I take a shower every other day unless it's hot and I'm all sweaty. Then I shower on an as-needed basis.

I also shower every other day unless I'm hot and sweaty, or if I just feel like taking a shower, then I do. I love being clean, using nice soaps and lotions. I do not wash my hair as often as I used to. It was very dry, now I wash it about every third day and it's much healthier.

Ooh, I also love goat milk soaps - and I love goat milk! But it's about $6 for a quart now, so I haven't bought any in a long time.

I usually shower every day unless my paranoia's bad then I can go weeks without a shower (just use dry shampoo/face wash/deoderant).

I've actually taken middle of the afternoon showers these last 2 days. Yesterday because I was going out. Today because I was bored and couldn't take any meds for another couple hours. Its a great way to get off the schedule I'm working very hard getting on. I've been feeling goofy though and I don't even know why.

I say I wash my hair 2 x per week.to the young lady at the aveda school when they ask me. I infer that I take showers more frequently than that. I only take a shower every 5 days. I hate getting into the shower.

I buy whipped soaps on etsy. They are divine. Many, many scents and fun to use. They make showering nicer.

I shower every day. I hate it. My place doesn’t have a bath and baths are my absolute favourite especially when stressed.

I shower as little as possible 2-.5 times a week. I need to get better at it but I never feel I have enough time.

If I have no pressing need (i.e. outing, doctor's appointment, job, heavy sweating or dirty work) I can go anywhere between only 2 to 3 times per week, washing my hair even less. What I might do on the "off days" are washcloth baths.
If I am in a severe bipolar episode, I have been known to shower less than once per week or even twice per month. Again, my hair usually got washed even less frequently.

Once or twice a week usually. It’s just hard with two little kids around to find the time. Maybe I should try to shower more often

I guess my answer is as and when.
they make me feel so bad- both in terms of absolute pain, and emotionally bad so if I have to, sure. if not... well: it's not like I have company |

I’m going to sound scruffy here but I shower rarely….
I bath daily though, that’s my thing I just love the calmness of a warm bath. |

Everyday sometimes twice a day. I don`t like feeling dirty. I do understand though with depression it can feel like a monumental task.

At times my depression is so bad I can go for weeks at a time. I use wipes after using the bathroom to keep the stench away. I'm ashamed to be like this but I just dont care. I don't leave the house very much except to see my EMDR therapist and my psych. Once in a while I have a good day and shower because I want to wash my hair.

She has a bath aid 4 times a week. Before then she would go up to 3 weeks without taking a shower. She has problems with hygiene, like brushing teeth and such.
