I haven't showered in 52 hours. And I am okay with that. Granted, I haven't been around anyone in 26 hours, so there's no one to complain about the odor, but with indoor plumbing available, I should take full advantage of that. Whatever. I have to work tomorrow and I know its going to busy, which means I have to interact with a lot of people which means I have to be interestd and interesting which means I have to be in a good mood which means I have to act all day. With all that on plate for tomorrow, the only thing that I'm not looking forward to is showering. I suck.
Do not beat yourself up for this. It is probably the most common "side effect" of bipolar disorder. There are people who come to my group therapy without having showered for various lengths of time and we don't beat them up either! EVerybody understands.
ReplyDeleteAs a gesture of solidarity, I will not take a shower today myself. Hey, I'm not leaving the house anyway!
(You will feel better when you shower. But do it in your own time.)
