Problem Taking Showers

I’m seeing a provider for ADD meds and had a therapist until my rent went up, storage up, cable went up.

I buy the adult body wipes that you get at a hospital and they are very helpful. If I get myself into the shower, I love the warm water and then I feel good about myself. Maybe talking about it on this platform will help me with more than shower, like anxiety. Thank you for your advice!

Well, online support groups can be a bit of help, but everyone really needs to concentrate on support groups in the real world.

Interacting in tiny bits of text here and there is far, far, far less than we need. We need to interact with real people, in the real world.

And don't find people online and then interact with them in the real world. Look for relatives, people you knew from school or jobs...people you knew in the real world. And, if you can find a real world support group, through a hospital or professional agency, that would be ideal.

For anxiety, breathing exercises, meditation and Hatha Yoga relaxation work has helped me.
