This was such a great topic. One day out of nowhere I started to hate the feeling of water on my body. I was a guy that took two showers a day my entire life then wham water became my enemy. Taking a shower also initiated weird hallucinations like bugs coming out of my hair. Hygiene just became too complicated for me to handle. I am a bit better now but I can remember days sitting on the couch for an hour trying to talk myself into taking a shower. I would negotiate with myself - if I go shower now I will skip washing my hair or I won’t shave today. The mind is just so complicated and crazy.
