I want to cry my sister just lied about how many times I've showered this week, I already get enough anxiety about hygiene and not showering and then my sister just made it seem like it's less than it is its already hard enough for me to take care of myself without people telling lies about me

doing what you can is good enough, i promise. showering once a week? that is perfectly okay. just try to do what you can, and maybe you can do more than you think. change your clothes when you can, brush your teeth, wash your face. you are doing amazing

I have the same problem. I just can't take a shower. I went 8 days without one. It feels l8ke it is to much work.

That's not nice, I'm sorry that's happening! But worry not too much, because it turns out showering too much (from every day to 2 times daily) is actually bad for your skin! Especially if you're prone to dryness and/or have a skin condition like Eczema. I personally try to shower twice a week, but usually it's once a week. Your pace is where you need to be. You're doing great!❤️❤️

Ive been struggling with the same thing. And actually just responded to someone else’s post recently about the same struggles so you are definitely not alone. I’m sorry your sister is not understanding of what you’re going through. It’s hard when others around you don’t get it. But do your best. Whatever that looks like. Like others said. If that means just putting on clean clothes instead of showering then that’s great. You’ve got this. Sending love. 💜

I'm the same way I sometimes don't shower for like 8 days I can't I have anxeity about passing out in the shower cause anxeity is so high
@vickielove You have anxiety about passing out too? I've never met anyone else who could relate. Are there certain things along with the shower that causes this for you? For me, I seem to do better when someone I feel safe with is with me and/or talking to me. If this is similar for you, is there someone who could sit in the bathroom and talk to you while you shower? 🙌💕
@ProfessorPlum oh my god this recently started to happen to me where i feel im going to pass out in the shower, i thought it was just some freak thing but you both have the same thing??? I dont even know whats causing it
@ProfessorPlum yes and my hubby tryst to help
you go at your own pace. you're doing your best and that means you're working on it
