Do any of you have trouble washing your hair? I’m debating trying the whole no shampoo thing. I could maybe make that work.
It’s that or cut my hair really really short.
I just don’t feel able to wash my hair regularly. Even weekly seems insurmountable. I don’t know why. I’ve been sitting in the bath for twenty minutes and I just can’t do it. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
I need to get my ■■■■ together. I feel so gross. It’s embarrassing.
There is dry shampoo that works great. No water needed
Sometimes I’m too depressed to wash my hair.
I’ve been debating asking for an AD. I don’t know if I’m depressed or if it’s just the symptoms of the PTSD. But I’ve not really felt like myself since April. I guess it’s time to at least consider it may be more than just negatives.
For me it was just getting in the shower at all. So often my hair went unwashed. I agree w recommending a spray dry shampoo maybe. Just a quick spray, rub hands through your hair then done?
I have problems washing my hair sometimes too. It used to be worse. What I learned from my counselor is when I was in the shower, think of a place or thing that makes me calm. The more I did this the more I had a positive association with washing my hair and showering in general. It took some time but now I can take a shower whenever I need to. Idk if you’ve done this or if it would help. I understand your frustration.
Depakote + modafinil And I have no sign of my old “negative” symptoms anymore, if that’s what they were.
Ironically most people struggle w finding a med that treats negatives but have positives under control and I have the opposite problem.
I have some Tresemme dry shampoo, just cheap stuff, but it leaves my hair stringy and kind of gross feeling. My hair gets super oily super fast and dry shampoo just doesn’t cut it for more than a day or two.
I don’t doubt my sleep disorder and insomnia are contributing to my lack of energy and will to do basic care, but I don’t see either of those things changing anytime soon.
May be best to keep hair very short for a while then. You could even shave it and keep wigs if you wanted.
I think you’re only supposed to shampoo your hair like once every few days anyways. And some natural beauty bloggers talk about going no shampoo for a while. Maybe you could look into that as well!
Well, my water is getting cold and I don’t have energy so I guess I’ll attempt the no shampoo thing. It’s already been almost 2 weeks, what’s another week going to hurt? 
Hahaha it’s called the “no poo” method apparently-funny! Many links on it pop up on google. Now you can be trendy 
Yeah. I’ve read about it before. I just did the whole oil pulling through the strands thing. I’ll read more about it tonight. Then I’ll decide if it’s that or chopping all my hair off.
Sounds like a good plan 
sorry you’re dealing with this I know it’s a huge pain
Thanks for being kind and not just calling me dirty. Lol not that you would. Just my fear.
lol I’ve been there before I have NO room to judge
Gees if I go two days without shampooing I feel disgusting. I find taking baths very relaxing. If you ever feel cold which I do often throughout the year a hot bath warms you up.
Yeah, I feel disgusting, but it doesn’t make me any more able to do anything about it. But thanks for the judgement I guess.
@LED I have issues with showers/bathing, and usually I do it once or twice a week unless I’m having a really hard time. Then it is once every 10-15 days, and that’s a broad guess. I rebember going a couple weeks without bathing a handful of times. I have a hard time even getting in the shower. It’s like I find other things to do, and keep avoiding it. I really don’t know why, and I have always done it. If I could get away with it, I probably would go longer. I feel better after a shower, so I don’t know why I hate showers. I find equate dandruff shampoo cuts the oily hair well. Otherwise I would have really oily hair. Any other shampoo just seems to make my hair oily within 24 hrs. I can go 5 days before the oily hair gets noticed by my family. Usually my daughter will say something. Then I take a shower. I wish I just could not shower. I don’t really know why. It just seems like I would enjoy not having to, but that’s messed up I know.
You need to associate reward with it.
When I brush my teeth and shower, I feel way better.
