I'm stinky

Yes - this is a common issue:

I took a shower today... and survived

The only reason I post this is because there might be someone else who has a tactile thing like I do and has a hard time showering. I usually can’t shower… The noise, the feeling of the water just hitting me so hard in some streams and then it’s cold then it’s hot… it’s icky and I hate it, and freak out. Plus I’m pretty tall so the water doesn’t hit my head, I sort of have to Limbo to get under the shower head. But my sis who has been battling the old drippy shower head got something else. So we used to have an old shower head like this… [image] I couldn’t take it. too much, too loud, too skin ripping. So for 7+ years, I’ve been happy with baths.

No shower in 17 days. Help!

The thought of cleaning my house is just too overwhelming for words. I don’t think I am depressed. I am not sad. I do not feel hopeless about anything. And, although my 30 year old son died 3 years ago, I know where he is, and I know he has it much better off than the rest of us.

Need motivation to take a shower

I’ve worn the same clothes for the last month and also sleep in them. I haven’t taken a shower in almost 2 months. I live with my parents and I’m 30 yrs old. They seem to not give a ■■■■ but my hygiene is horrible. I am thinking of just making a list in a notepad and write down what I need to do each day. Thing is I have no problem eating meals and working out. I seem to stick to that better than my showering. I just don’t get it. This ■■■■ all started when I hit 23 and has gotten worse.
