It seems to me just one of the things we can get away with.
I just cant be bothered. If I know im going to be close to other people then I will take a shower. But I can go for weeks without taking one. I have not cleaned my teeth more than a dozen times in the last ten years so my dentist sent me to hospital to have a full dental clearance. No more teeth so I don't have to clean them. I don't change my cloths very often and I often sleep in them over and over again. All this sounds really gross. but I just find it so hard to motivate myself. fingers! |

I'm not in a place today that I have to celebrate a shower, but I it makes me feel less alone to know that someone (other than the people I pay) can celebrate that accomplishment on those days. High five to all who struggled but made it to the shower; hugs and hope for tomorrow for those who tried but it just didn't happen.

well I struggle getting in there too. But once I feel that hot water then it is heaven!
This past month I have been going to the gym and then sweating and taking a shower the next day before work. but if I don't sweat then I don't take a shower. I don't like to sweat, because then I have to take a shower..... bizi |

I haven't washed my head over one month. It's not that I don't want to wash my head. It's because there is no public bath room in the neighborhood. Nobody here makes business by purely selling warm bath. If you want to buy a bath, you need to rent a hotel or house, thant's quite expensive, far more expensive than eating every day.
I desire to see the government can build public bath rooms everywhere so that even poor people who can't afford to rent a house can also take a warm bath every day. |

I have a horrible time taking a shower and brushing my teeth. But I always feel better once it's completed. I love feeling clean and smelling good. But it's so hard for me to think of the end goal when I need to take a shower. It's been about a week since my last shower. The longest I've ever gone is 14 days...I never left the house when that happened. I get so depressed and just don't care.

Me too! I'm in need of one myself, and I bought hair dye over a month ago thinking that would get me moving and feeling better about myself. It's still sitting on the washing machine. I spend my days in pj's or yoga pants, and I've never done yoga. The only benefit to staying in bed all the time is not getting super stanky. I used to spend hours reading in the tub (my cave) and shower almost every day. I don't want my kids to see me like this...it would scare them.

I completely understand this,... sometimes getting into the shower feels like the biggest chore possible, even though I want to be clean and smell nice. I don't understand why it's so tough, even though I'm not (supposedly) depressed. yeah right....

Other people shower daily, but I find it a huge chore.
Getting all wet and cold (cant have heating on all the time too expensive) towels soggy. Why do l find it so hard to bother. I suppose its all about self worth, dunno. |

I'm trying to shower twice a week and having some success with it. I showered this morning, but for a sad reason. I took my cat to the vet and he had to be put down.
