Sometimes I will get in the shower but I can’t seem to get myself to wash with soap or wash my hair. I do it a lot actually. I’m thinkngin of buying some good smelling soap to encourage my self to wash more.

There was a time I just used water, it was kind of disgusting.
I’m better at it now.
Still don’t like showering but at least I can do it now, with soap.
That’s a really good idea to buy a soap that smells really good to you

I’m only saying it was disgusting cos I get to a point where I smell like a fish 
So it is sort of essential that I use soap.
But yea, hope you find a nice soap there. Some soaps do smell amazing.
I have an orange and cinnamon one which is pretty nice.

Why do we hate having a shower so much is what I cannot understand. I try and shower daily but for me entering the shower cabinet is like entering a torture chamber.
I was never like this prior to schizophrenia. I loved showering. It’s just plain weird.
Same here, I would shower a lot before I got sick. I always was put together and smelled nice. Now I wear the same clothes for a month and stink. I don’t get it

Showering was part of waking up in my daily routine. These days I shower much later after getting out of bed. Sometimes I shower just before I go to bed. Don’t know, the medication interfere a lot with what I like to do, should do and need to do. It really screwed my brains. That was back in the 90s taking the haloperidol injections. My life just doesn’t flow as the people having no mental health problems.

No, I get too busy with interesting things to want to waste my time showering, but once I’m there I get it done.

I always bath with a good dose of Dettol Disenfectant in the bath as well, and a mint shower gel. You smell like a hospital lol, but i like the fact i know im killing all the germs off my skin.
A liberal sprinkling of Imperial Leather Talcum Powder round the nuts too, helps in the hot weather lol
