Sometimes it is difficult and exhausting for me even cleaning my body. I take a bath each two days. A bath is easier than a shower to me. Cleaning and taking care of my aspect is one of the most difficult things for my illness. I f hate negative symptoms.

I’m lucky in that I had my stepdaughter on my case when I moved here when it came to bathing. I now shower/occasionally have a bath almost everyday. I’m not saying it’s easy though. I still go through days when I debate within my own head whether to just skip it. The thought of not washing is always there but knowing my stepdaughter will chide me in a supportive way if I go too many days without usually sways my hand.

The weird thing is I like showering, it’s hard to make myself do it though. So maybe three times a week depending on how dirty I get.
I have a difficult time getting in the shower, but once I’m in I like it and want to stay.

I shower daily. My sex drive helps a lot. If I was single and not dating I think I could get pretty gross honestly.

Take a few one minute cold showers first thing in the morning. One per week for a few weeks. This will make you a lot more stress tolerant of warm showers.
Yes, me too. It’s quite common. I can only get myself to shower about once every one and a half weeks or so. I showered yesterday and I am so proud of myself.

I struggle with this to. I take a bath once a week or less.
I bathe twice a week with a nice fragrance bubble bath or bath oil. if my long hair looks bad i brush and pull it back.
Do you ever get cold? Taking a hot bath is a great way to warm yourself up. It’s very relaxing. Even in the summer when it’s too hot you can take a cool bath.
