can yu get in the bathtub hun? instead of the shower?

It could be anything Alex.....my 17yr old just has a permanent aversion to any water atm..

You will come good....try not to make it a big issue for now & don't worry about it...you are washing....the rest will come....xx

idk ive been feeling depressed all week and i havent even washed once yet. i know i stink, but i just dont care :(

eww lol :)

if its laziness, you could force yourself to do it. sounds more like anxiety if you want to do it, but still dont.

It reminds me of when I was depressed. A quick wash was the best I could do. Taking the time and trouble of a shower seemed like it was sooo much trouble and hard to do.

You'll feel so much more invigorated and cleansed just to go do it though. And you can feel pride that you forced yourself into it and shook yourself out of the lethargy.

But then I'm all wet

hugs hope you feel better soon...

lol

*gives you towel*

^___^

2 weeks is the longest i have gone without washing...and this is a woman who at one time would not leave the house without looking perfectly groomed from head to toe! when i'm depressed/anxious, my self care is the 1st thing to go...but don't let it become an issue, pls...the fact that u realise u stink "as you put it" tells me you are not usually afraid to get friendly with the shower gel x and at least you still washing, i just sat and festered untill my family could take it no more!!

it's the depression (IMO) I went through a spell of not wanting to shower or wash my hair and that was completely opposite of how I usually was. once I got my meds adjusted, it wasn't that much of an issue anymore. I think we get bummed and just don't feel like doing anything, even the basics.

make yourself, once it's over you'll feel so much better.

hugs xxxxx

DO you get bummed often, Alixe?

Depression the cold yep I have went a week without a shower stayed in my jammies all week too ... when theres nothing to get dressed up for why bother

when i get like that, it's my anxiety... i feel so paralyzed, i can't motivate myself to do anything out of the ordinary. If it bothers you, then it is a problem. If it does NOT bother you, and you are not unhealthy, then who made the rule you have to shower every day? Maybe a sink bath is good enough.

I get that way when I am depressed to,also don't like to wash my hair when depressed.
