Self care is an important part of life. It seems we struggle with some of the basics like nutrition, sleep and hygiene. I know we don’t need to shower or bathe everyday but how often do you take and shower or bath?

On average 3 times a week probably. Maybe 4
I’ve been getting better about it. Twice or thrice a week. Hard to make myself do it. But it’s possible when I consider masturbating in there 
Five times a week. Not more not less 
Once a month…
2-4 times a week, depending on the temperature and my activity level.
That brings up a good point. When it’s hot we sweat more and need to get cleaned up more often. I also take baths when I have and appointment or if I’m going to run errands. I swear sometimes I think if it weren’t for the dr appointments I’d never take a bath.
I’m more inclined to shower if I know I have to interact with people.
I don’t want them to smell my body odor and see my greasy hair.
I shower everyday
Good job @anon1152203. That’s my goal. And also to get it done early in the day. I think if I shower in the morning I might leave the house more often because I will be presentable.
My pdoc told me upfront that I smelled. That got me thinking… It wasn’t nice of her, but if it was true, then I figured I’d better be considerate and bathe more often.
I shower every day and I wash my hair every other day.
I do so few as activity, so I just try to do at least this. So I have my shower every other day. I like that I am cleaner after it, but sometimes I struggle with it, yeap 
…
Since being here I miss doing so a couple of times a month , or maybe once every 10-11 days or so.
I think it’s because I know I’ll have my stepdaughter on my case if I’m like I was where I was living previously. The nearest option for me was everyday. Previously it would have been(not counting strip washes) less frequently than once a month.
do you find it hard? I just can’t sometimes. I don’t have the energy. And it’s very stressful because the fan makes a noise that blocks me from hearing what’s going on in the house and it makes me feel vulnerable. I just always worry that a rapist is going to come in or a murderer. Or sometimes I will go for months dreading falling asleep in the tub or having a seizure and drowning. My husband will sit in the bathroom with me so I can relax a little better. But then I worry there’s a burglar. Showers are worse, I almost get a panic attack from the feeling of being cut-off and vulnerable.
A lot of days it’s a running battle with myself to do it .It’s certainly not always an automatic process.
That’s why I like the showers.
They block out every outside noise and allow me to just stand there and be free for a few minutes.
But I know the feeling. I keep hearing sounds like someone is knocking or entering my apartment, but I calm myself by remembering only one person other than me has the key to my place.
And he’s seen me more or less naked before, so I don’t mind.
I have the worst time taking baths and showers and washing my hair and brushing my teeth. But, I try to do all of this at least once a week. I’ve been told that I stink by my pdoc and by my best friend too but it doesn’t seem to change my behavior any. I just don’t have the motivation or energy.
I bathe everyday. No more no less. I love being clean and taking a shower.
Twice a week. I can’t be motivated to do it more than that. My activity level is nil and I don’t go out except for two hours a week, so I don’t smell. If I did, I’d prolly shower more.
