It feels good to be clean. If you can, why not?

It’s just finding energy to get out of the bed

I also had my thryoid removed that doesn’t help in the energy department
Maybe if you don’t shower and stuff (which I don’t) then the things you may shower for are less likely to occur… Seems possible.
Something like “chance favors the prepared mind” or something

Never thought of it like that. Good reason to stay away from ppl lol
I’m not sure what you took me to mean. I mean people need people and having a reputation of being dirty is probably not good. I think that’s the boat I find myself in. I guess I don’t mind it too much but I don’t think I would recommend it.
No I push through and shower it just seems like a chore, I never leave the house anyway
Good thing for you.
sorry @Turtle44 i used to stay in bed all the time too…I got on new meds and my life changed…yours can too…work with your pdoc to get you out of bed…

I am useless. I been in bed cant even get to the sofa for months- its just getting worse. I’m addicted to this forum. Today is bad. Week is bad. Maybe its I’m losing my therapist, new therapist, case manager tomorrow replaced, anxiety meeting her tomorrow. Have not talked to my new pdoc for over a month since just an introductory session.
So all my care team are strangers. My selfcare is embarrassing. I am discusting. Not expecting a reply cause I can barely string together how i am doing or feeling.

Sorry you are in a Rut - @Turtle44
It just made me feel the same.
Also didn’t mean to high jack your thread with gibberish.

You didn’t that’s why we are here venting and support to get through this together. I know how getting a new therapist is, you have to start all over again it seems like, I don’t have time for that when I put my trust in someone that important.

Thank you for understanding. I been trying to be so positive and its blowing up on me. Yeah, my care team besides here, has been my only other social interactions for over a year. So the replacements feel like I been abandoned.
Honestyly I’m gonna say it I haven’t showered in a while. But I bought some fresh clothes, did some laundry a few weeks ago with my caseworkers help. But I cant find a reason to shower. I know thats discusting.
How does your brain tell you to shower, if you think another day isn’t gonna hurt. Over and over again.
It’s hard I know all too well. All my laundry is dirty I’m down to one pair of clean clothes I struggle with paranoia when it comes to leaving the house. The sad thing is the laundry mat is right across the street I can’t get the nerve to walk over there.

Yeah. Why are we so afraid of people. I got asked this question today. And Its just been this way I didn’t have an answer exactly why I avoid people. It’s just instinctual. Fear.
I have gear for when I pick up meds. Mask, Large Headphones, offensive Tshirt. My dog in a bag. To keep people away.
I cant give my dogs an appropriate walk, they only get my front lawn. I am a bad parent.
