      I understand where you're coming from! Showers are a big to do for me too. It's exhausting and so time-consuming. I avoid showers for longer than I should just because of anxiety and exhaustion. And I feel gross because of it. But it is so hard. Depression just adds to the difficulty. I hope things get better for you!
