My mum used to try to get me to take showers as a kid by saying “you know, schizophrenic people don’t take showers.” Lol if only she knew!
But seriously, I find shower frequency is a good barometer for how well I’m doing. But I’ll probably always resent it. I mean…showering daily (even biweekly!) is pretty decadent. People in China will have one a week & that’s the norm in many places…
I used to shower daily but with the sustenna once every 2-3 days. Would be nice to start getting up really early and have a good shower daily. Will update if that ever happens
I become very mindful in the shower and as I smell the lovely soap I remind myself how could it feels to not be in the hospital (where the shower would always go off and on sporadically) I like to shower everyday but less if I’m really psychotic
