I’m the same way but once I do shower I finally feel human again

So what I do is say fuck the haters and I watch a damn YouTube video in the shower. People will make fun of you a bit but if this relieves some of the issues around showering do it. Maybe a mantra could help too to get over initial discomfort or plan out what exactly you have yourself doing in the shower so you’re not overwhelmed deciding. Do whatever works for you mental health is hard :)

I struggle to shower for multiple reasons. One thing that helps is if I’ve gone a little too long without a shower I’ll give myself a wipe bath. Mine are just water so it doesn’t leave a residue. There are also rinseless body washes where you just rub it in but I haven’t tried any

What wipes do you use? I am looking for some because I hate the feeling of residue on my skin but sometimes I don’t have the energy to stand up and get through a full shower

No shame in sitting in the shower if it’s how you motivate yourself to get clean homie :) (OBVI I DONT MEAN FOR COMMUNAL BATHROOMS!!!) But do what you need to do, not all humans were built the same. if it helps take a hair shower where you don’t even get in you just lean your head over and then do a body shower, both are shorter and easier for some to enjoy/get through, it’s helped me before.
