I’m amazed

I’m amazed. I just took a shower and I feel very well. It’s awesome how little things like that can pick you up. Or calm you down. I’ve had a busy day and the shower was so relaxing. Please remind me of this in the future! Lol!

yeah it is a good reminder that we need to give ourselves therapeutic things. It's not always at our finger tips when we're low but it's true!

Good for you!! Glad you feel a little better. Showers are a tough one sometimes. I get so down and couldn't care less, but inevitably if I can make myself, things like this in the self-care category can make quite a difference.

I never shower when I'm in-patient Psych if I don't have a private room....I have major trust issues. So getting home and having that first hot shower or soaking bath can make life have a whole new outlook! Things just feel and seem a bit better.

Glad you're feeling better!

I too have noticed when I'm feeling pretty bad a shower will change my mood. And when I'm especially anxious a nap will often "reset" my mind, and make me feel better.
