After I found out I could bathe and do my hygiene routine daily if I go bath-> shower to adapt to the sensation of getting wet and control my sensitivity to the heated water I’ve really powered through some of my big check list items.
I’ve begun to go from bath into shower wash up to brushing teeth, and then rolling it into drying off with a walk with the dogs.
It feels like I’ve successfully tricked my brain into just doing these things and not thinking about them.
I can only hope that this becomes my new normal, because I want so much out of life that if I can’t get these basics down I’m screwed.
