I hate bathing, but I honestly don’t know why. Is it a sz thing? Why? I’ll go as long as I can without showering. It feels like such a chore! I have self-loathing trouble, and problems with disconnect from my body. I d feel like I’m lugging it around from place to place. S much work. I’ve seen references on here to that…Anyone?
Yeah, I have to force myself to shower. Since I started classes again I’ve been showering practically everyday. But it used to be harder, I like relaxing baths though…
lol I can shower the whole day…i mean i just love taking a bath. i dont have money for a bath tub but would love to be in for the weekend if i had the money
I hate getting my face wet. I also don’t like anything or anyone touching my face.
Yeah, taking a shower is such a chore for me!
It takes up a lot of my energy.
I did a poll on it, 30% of us hate it.
For a while the water hitting me used to trigger some tactile hallucinations. The sound… the feeling… showering used to be sort of hard.
So for ages I took baths. It was easier for me… not as loud. But my sister changed the shower head to something more gentle and it helped a lot.
Not a chore at all.
I just feel like ■■■■ all of the time. Drugs and demons drugs and demons drugs and demons. Terror, pain, scary, drugs killing me and demons hounding me.
Wish they could see them, they won’t get it otherwise. Like “hey tortured guy why don’t you shower? i don’t get it.” It’s odd to me as well that spirits don’t shower, they have no need really, thats a strange coincidence considering im possessed by them.
Schizophrenic during episode: no sleep, no bathe, sometimes no eat. Spirits: no sleep, no bathe, no need for food. Hmmmm, odd coincidence.
The main reason though that i don’t shower really is pain, just various forms of never ending pains.
i love to shower and take hot long long showers about every day.
it disturbs me a whole lot when things aren’t clean and tidy.
part of me loves to clean up.

i put it off for as long as i can, i hate showering and bathing but i wash as much as i can like my hands and face, i always change my clothes everyday and sometimes twice a day, i know when i really need to shower though. its intermittent how often i shower so i cant say when, i was going to get a spa therapy bath but i changed my mind.
I underwent an exorcism long ago. It didn’t really “work” in the sense of freeing me, but I think something left me. I could feel it slithering under my skin, up and out of my head like a wet cloth being pulled out the top of a bottle. Maybe one left.
I’m sorry for your pain, @pansdisease. I pray a lot and it helps me. I rebuke demons, Therapy helps me. Talking/writing helps me. I pray for some peace for you.
I wash my hands over 20 times a day! Thats OCD for you
I like showering, but I don’t do it every day, usually when I need to, which is about twice or three times a week. A hot shower I find very relaxing!
I hate it when it’s cold so that’s why, but I love the feeling of bein clean after a nice long hot shower.
Showering was never an issue before meds. Then when i started meds i started to dislike showering. I didnt have the motivation to shower and it felt boring. I realy draged.
Then they started to reduce my dosages and i started to like showering more and more. I shower often and when i work i shower everyday. I dont want to stink at work so that is a motivation also
I’ve developed an aversion to bathing which is strange because I used to bathe to relax but not anymore. I forced myself to bathe one a week, now I force myself to bathe twice a week. I always feel better after my bath but it used to be hard when I had difficulty breathing the bath would wear me out. Now that I’m on oxygen it is easier. So I bathe twice a week which is more often than our ancestors who only bathed on Sunday. If I bathe everyday it is hard on my dry skin and hair. The natural oils seem to help my skin.
I don’t like showering I used to like it though but no more, although I do it 2-3x a week still. Throw in 1-2 baths and I’m alright.
