i used to LOVE showering, like i would spend 1-2 hours in the shower a day but i my motivation died a little and it went from being something i loved to something i do as a necessity but not something im excited about anymore

Drying off and getting dressed is the worst for me. Mostly because the warm water in the bath makes my heart act up and I feel dizzy and a bit nauseated, so drying off and getting dressed when feeling like that is no fun.

All the above BUT mainly getting in.

I avoid taking shower every day, for me it’s one day I do and the next one I don’t. I usually take 20 to 30 minutes in the shower. My main motivation to go wash myself it’s to get good hair days :joy: my hair gets really messy when I don’t shower

I put “all of the above”…I cheat and wear a cap when I go to the store or I would have to wash my hair…I shower about once a week.

I wash my hair once a week and usually shower twice a week.

But I hate every second of it,

All of the above is a problem,

Still voted “getting in” because that’s what keeps me from showering more often.

Getting in is hard and getting dressed is hard. Once I’m actually in the shower it’s not that bad.

I force myself to shower, but feel as if I’m brutalising myself :slight_smile:

Edit: It’s a good question, what part of it is the problem. I think for me the problem is when showering it’s a chore, and like other chores, often triggers negative/unpleasant thinking… if I had happy thoughts while showering I doubt it would be an issue.

I used to have an issue with the getting in part. Everything else wasn’t an issue. But now I don’t have any issues showering :slight_smile:

I hate getting in and out when it’s cold out. I have poor circulation from my meds, and I can’t stand being naked in the cold air.

I love showering especially in winter when it’s cold and the hot water thaws my bones. The hardest part is stopping the shower, getting out and drying off. Especially if it’s cold.

I’ve been showering regularly, and the only part I don’t like is getting out before I dry off. I hate that.

If I want to feel super clean, I will have a lengthy bath, followed by a shower.
