| Honestly I don't feel much better after showering now, just less ashamed. I realized it feels like an attack. I find my breath catching when the water hits me, even though that used to only happen if I was suddenly in cold water. Now it's like an assault by water. |

| oops......did it again. I only feel very remotely compelled to bathe right now because a) I feel guilty to be doing something as "nasty" as not showering and b)I had to rush to class today and became suddenly paranoid that my sweat smelled especially bad, though I don't think it did. but, ... |

I don't want to post my picture on something so public, but it's really nice to see what other people look like! Makes you all a little more real to me, and not just figments of the interwebs  |

| After being hit pretty hard by a return of depression and a severe illness that left me basically bedridden for three weeks, I showered an hour ago! Only the second time in three weeks, oops.

| For years I've wanted to be evaluated for ASD, and we believe my father might have it also.
