I only shower when I have to go out. And I don't get to go out very often. Usually once a week, sometimes every other week. When I'm at home alone I tend to gradually degenerate into depression and psychosis. Can't be bothered to change my clothes or bathe then. Seems no point. I know that people will retort with the fact that looking after my well being will improve my mental state, but I don't think people understand that I've been this way for a long time. The broken, dying me, is the real me now. The clean, well presented, sociable me is the mask I wear. I don't wear the mask when I'm alone. I can't fool myself.

I try to shower three to four days a week. Taking a nice, hot shower relaxes me and makes me feel better.

There are usually a couple days a week I don't shower as I get up too late and I'm too tired. I was my hair a couple times a week. I use deodorant and wash the stinky parts still. I have gone to work and realized I had sleepy sand in my eyes before. I was so tired Saturday I didn't realize I worked all day wearing my shirt backwards. Oh well. At least I made it to work.

Every couple weeks when I have to see the shrink or when I have to go shopping. I don't like getting in the water anymore.

I've kind of gotten used to smelling like a horse.

I only shower when I have to go out or my hair gets too bad. If I'm not going anywhere I will go five days or so before just getting in and doing it. I have cancelled activities with friends because i did not want to shower.

I take a shower every 3-6 days. Some times less. Depends if I've actually gone anywhere or what I've done. I don't feel the need to take a shower every day if I sit in my room all day doing school work online.

I shower every day, even when unwell. I'm particular about cleanliness.
