I shower twice a day usually. At least once in the morning when i wake up. I like to keep up my personal hygeine and appearance otherwise i get really anxious about it.

Water bothers me. Showering feels like the feeling i get imagining being pushed into a pool.

I would shower daily like when I was a boy but my skin is dried out so it’s every 3rd or 4th day. My mom told me to use lotion but I don’t wanna. Doris Day would cover her skin in petroleum jelly before bed every night. I tried that once and I was cold all night.

Everyday. If exercising or in summer sometimes twice a day. Have to in a hot climate and nothing like a shower in the heat.

before I was ill I showered every day, perfect hygiene. after for a couple of years of being suicidal I just stayed in bed all the time and never did anything like bathing. I would rag myself off once in a while…anyways…now I shower about twice a week.

Bath every other day. Negatives or not, i fail to understand how people can walk around stinking - usually with itchy sweaty skin and smelly hair and not be bothered about it.

Come on. It takes 5 minutes. And then they get all paranoid when they are getting funny looks outside.

At one point I was suffering very badly from positive symptoms. During this time I showed every day. Sometimes twice a day.

Then with invega all my positive symptoms disappeared and I barely showered at al.

Now I’ve found a balance with medications and self help. I shower 3 times a week now

I don’t feel good without a shower. I had times when i don’t shower a lot, but for me showers are important for my general well-being. Sometimes, when i can’t shower i wash my face with water to refresh myself, is it at the casino or waking up in the morning.

No, i banned myself from the casino long time ago. I just wanted to point out, when i am at random places, i refresh myself with a catbath in the bathroom.
