Having a shower - challenge?

Post Reply New Topic

I was without the shower for 41 days - from 12.08.2018 to 22.09.2018.
My last shower from now was 14 days earlier - 22.09.2018.
I rather do not feel the need of getting showers. Maybe due to physical discomfort associated with them.

No but I don't shower everyday only when it feels necessary but I don't sweat a lot as I don't do much physical activity... I wash off in the sink everyday instead and i've never had any complaints that I smell on the other hand I often get told that both I and my hair smells really good.

Humans don't really need to shower everyday and it can in fact have negative impact on the good bacteria on our skin that should not be washed off as well as it drying our skin out which can make you look old in advance unless you moisturize well afterwards.

My last shower was 26 days earlier. In last two months (since 18.08.2018) I had only one shower - 22.09.2018.

I do not like not only showering, but also other activities associated with presence like hair grooming and shaving or changing clothes. I may appear as very unkempt.

I like showers; for me they're calming. However, I do not like being parboiled like my mate does. I like moderately cold showers in summertime. I don't like bathtubs, although I used to enjoy hot tubs and saunas. Nakedness doesn't phase me in the least, but my body's thermoregulation seems off, and I seem to overheat easily.

I like having nice and hot showers early in the morning(because my schedule sucks, it's at 5am) because it's calming but also helps me get up. But if there isn't hot water, I physically recoil from the water and try to be in and out in 5 minutes. But if the hot water is working, then I take like 15 minutes.

I did not get the shower since 28 days (four weeks).
I may be crippled occupationally because of my sensitivity to water temperature.
Paradoxically, I have washing obsessions and compulsions.

Some days I like a good warm shower, some days not.


Many people don't like showering, many people do. I think it's an overall human thing.

I don't like showering when the water is too cold or too hot. I may like shower when the water has adequate temperature. I do not like not the shower by itself, but the unpleasant feeling associated with contact with too hot or too cold water. Temperature of water during shower is very important for me.

Perhaps measuring the exact water temperature that you feel comfortable would help you. Like find that temperature, and find a way to set your shower water to it.

During last 75 days (about 2,5 months) I get ONLY ONE shower. I rather do not feel the need of showering. I dislike also changing clothes, hair grooming, haircutting and shaving. I tend to appear unkempt.

I did not take the shower since 43 days. In last 80 days I had only one shower. I read about a young person (probably with schizophrenia) who did not take the shower or bathe (or did not do something similar) for (about) two months.

I got a shower 5.11.2018 and 11.11.2018. It was not so bad, but I wetted floor in the bathroom after the shower. I do not use towels for legs.

I can easily get confused and wind up too hot or cold after a shower. If it was worse, I'd get a thermometer, or automatic faucet. I also tend to tire myself out badly when swimming, since I don't overheat.
You can also "bathe" with a "fog gun" - mostly air. I find that I don't stink, even after vigorous exercise, provided I avoid three things: Polyester, anger, and meat.

I did not take the shower since 11.11.2017. About 38 days without the shower. I had a job (but it did not require close and long physical contact with other people) for most of that time. I got the shower rarer than once in month three times during last five months and I was employed during that series of living without the shower.

See I hate water on my skin, but only partially. Once Im fully wet I dont mind anymore. Also, I hate being unclean so....Showers it is!
I used to make a fit as a kid, but my mom would just drag me outside and spray me down with the hose till I was soaked and freezing and stopped complaining and then she'd shove me back in the shower anyway. I learned to like them lol. Now, I take really long ones with the water on all the way hot and fog up the whole bathroom and sing annoyingly loud

...Yes, because, crippled with amputated toes and most of all the CHF I have I am worried, while taking a shower in a slick floors bathroom where I am staying now and just a towel rack to cling to when climbing inout if quite high shower - I am afrad of slipping and falling on the floor .
