Oh thank you for caring and kind words. I do take psych meds but my new medication MPA is trying to move my meds around to make my kookooness more manageable. I have isolated myself and only have one good friend. My sister who I used to speak with every day caught COVID in the hospital while she was being treated for COPD pneumonia and my youngest sister is very judgmental so I don’t feel like getting kicked in the teeth by her when I do a fine job by myself. I planned to change my bedsheets and hop in the shower today but it’s evening and I’m still stinky lol. I’m going to try again tomorrow.

I suffer from chronic PTSD and severe depression too 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. An excellent quality bath mat and hand rails/chair can help .Also, an emergency necklace will offer you safety when you're in distress. I hope this helps. God bless you!
