Do any of you have strategies for this?

All input welcome.

Can you give yourself a reward for getting a shower? Like go get a Starbucks? Or get to watch your favorite TV show? Sometimes that works for me. HUGS Kit

Slumber Kitty,

That you cared enough to reply to my appeal for help was enough to get me into the tub. I took a long hot bath after a good scrub.

You are a lifesaver.

Thank you!

Yes I took one in the morning, will take one again tomorrow night. I need to get a pretty shower curtain, I just have the liner now in my new apartment. I'll do that when I start decorating. There's some other thing's I'd like to get for the bathroom too. Like one of those suction caddies that sticks to the wall and can hold your shampoo bottles and whatnot. I need to get some nice lotions too, body scrubs, soaps

Soaked in the tub, but only because I live at the South Pole.

I got a shower the past three days and washed my hair. Mostly because my Mom has been bugging me about it. I can usually get a shower every other day without being bugged. I don't know why she is on my case. But anyway, day 3 of showering!

My negative symptoms are gone almost.

I've been showering etc almost every day since this thread was posted. The cold showers help to motivate me as well.
Thanks for this!

yes, I did. My mom has been having me rinse my hair with vinegar because she said it is getting oily. So I did that and washed my hair today.
