For a while I bedrotted so bad that I didn't even shower. Just recently I decided I would take a shower and... I never thought showering could feel so liberating.

Warm or cold? I love both. I like warm more but I like to believe that I like both. During the heat where I'm always hot I feel motivated by the heat to take a cold shower despite feeling depressed. I get out feeling cold and energetic.

When it's not so hot and Im feeling depressed I take warm showers with a special change to it. For 3 minutes I sit, close my ears, and let the warm water pour over my head. I imagine as if it's raining over me (it'll sound like rain), it feels like a really warm hug. That's the only time that I can ever cry and shed tears. I'll always love that experience. Im glad you enjoyed your shower and I hope that you'll enjoy many more!

Coincidentally, I have just showered too and felt good. Unfortunately, I don't have a bathtub to submerge with whole body. It feels even more relaxing when bathing your body with hot water. Magnesium flakes help a lot too.

I can relate to Daniel, i haven't showered in 3 months. I was traumatized in the rehab facility i was in where the took me in this cold tile room asked and from a distance sprayed water on me with like a hose thing. No soap or tenderness. Even a dog is treated better. Since then I can't stand to have water touch my body. I have to use vleaning wipes. No one understands, they say just get over it.
I was there bc of an unintentional drug overdose, I had to learn to walk again. B4 then I use to shower 2x a day.
I feel so much shame. I can't get over anything from the past. I sleepin my clothes n dont change them very often. U see my love of 30yrs diedfrom cardiac arrest right in my arms I went thru severe ptsd and pysch md gave me meds that i have no nemory of taking one night.. next thing i knew i woke up in icu, after 25days of unconsciousness. Crippled hand bc of it. I lost my car, my home my dl, my belongings, my independence, my career and everything else that was important to me. GONE!
So be careful with drug overdose scenarios bc if u survive its hell.
Nothing we use matters to ne anymore, I want to die so bad. I tried walking in front of a car driving by but they stopped.

Shower's always make me feel a little better. Inside the shower, nothing else matters. The stress of college and life and trauma all melt away. Just you and the water. I wish I could live in there forever in the warm water.
