The warm wet is not my friend

It’s the mental preparation for me, plus I have to shower either first thing in the morning or late at night (any other time of day at it’s pointless because the hot flashes make me all sweaty again).

I love showers. And swimming. My barriers are all around how much time and effort it takes with next steps - hair drying, face routine, dressing…

For me, it’s changing clothing. Trying things on is my worst nightmare

Yess, especially getting out of the shower because then the nice warm wet because evil cold wet.

Oh my God I am so relieved that someone understands!!!

frr me

Same it drives my wife crazy cause she has to to tell me i need to shower

But once you get in, you can’t get out.

Oh my gosh, I can't stand to take a shower! The thought of the process I have to go through makes me turn away. I'm glad I'm not alone.

Yup, I know the feeling.

Oh gosh, I have a guide in my browser how to get into the shower :D Bought myself a ufo heater - makes getting out a bit easier

Yessss! Same.

Yo

lol;zl

Hi

I thought I was the only o e! I hate being wet! I don’t like swimming either.

Love it once I’m in but dang is it hard to get in

100% I just don’t like them

That's so me! I felt so weird... Like what is the big deal - but it such a big deal! Bleagh... Cold wet water

100%

I like the shower itself. I HATE all the tasks I have to do in it and afterwards.

I’m so glad this isn’t just me

I hated showering until I started sitting down and turning off the shower head while I lather etc. Weird right!?

Yep, hate getting in, hate getting out. Tricked my brain into thinking it’s a good idea by getting a nice shower gel.

Am I the only one that takes showers like all the time? But not like real showers where you actually wash yourself. Like I full on sit down in the shower and dissociate for way longer than I care to admit…

I like showers, but on days when I'm stressed and have more sensory issues, it's too loud. I usually know I'm depressed when I don't feel like grabbing a shower.. Have you tried a bath instead? Maybe you'll like that more..

You are not alone. I promise.

Currently hardcore procrastinating the shower… but I also feel so gross that I might die. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I Shailee confessed to my dermatologist, that I did not shower every day. He said, "Thats good!"I Shailee confessed to my dermatologist, that I did not shower every day. He said, "That's good!". Not what I was expecting! He explained that your skin doesn't need to be stripped of it's oils that often. "Just wash the dirty parts most days is better for most people. Hey, I'm doing something right!😀

I avoid showers for as long as I can stand it (about 5-6 days) and it’s so embarrassing but I just REALLY don’t wanna

For me it’s just stopping long enough to actually TAKE the shower. But I also hate drying off and then sweating again ( I’m old) lol

I take a shower when I feel bad. Sick? Shower! Sad? Shower? Wet from showering? Back into the shower!

Being naked and wet

Yes the afterwet is ihhhhhhhhhh

Omg I thought it was just me! I hate that warm damp feeling when I get out 😖

Is the enemy of my enemy my friend?

100%

the after wet I hate
