I’m disabled but I have bought 2 bar grips and a really good bath mat that’s as long as my shower floor, but I’m still afraid of falling. I have fallen a couple of times and cracked some ribs. I have a shower chair but it fills up the whole shower and is inconvenient. Sorry if I sound like a crazy old lady who whines.

I suffer from chronic PTSD and chronic depression too, the same difficulties similar to yours and put off taking a shower/bath as long as I can. Just once a week seems the best I can do it is a HUGE effort to do such a simple thing. Have you tried sponge baths? Body wipes are available to promote good hygiene which makes it much much easier. Also, an emergency necklace will offer you safety when you're in distress. I hope this helps. God bless you!

Here is a big hug for and you certainly don't sound like a crazy old lady who whines we have to vent sometimes so never think like that. Believe me you are not alone and I need a shower too. Maybe today? : )
