Problem Taking Showers

Thanks so much for your comments. I just commented to someone else's comments and I did mention that after I do take a bath I do feel better and I think wow, that wasn't difficult at all. It does help me when you say that you are having the same problem. Any other things that are difficult for you? With me it's doing the dishes, washing my clothes, etc. Recently I started taking Abilify and I had so many bad symptoms that I had to take it every other day instead of every day. Granted, the mania was enjoyable you know, feeling alive and happy for a change but I still can't stop eating at night (I go to bed around 1:00 - 1:30 am, just a pattern I have gotten into since I don't have to work anymore so staying up just happens. Being on the pill every other day seems to put me back to how I felt when I was not taking it. Oh well, I will persevere and again, thanks so much for your reply. My nieces think that if they miss one shower it's a crime. : ) If I ever shared my issue about showers they would never understand so that issue never comes up.

Please let your doctor know that the Abilify is not for you! There are too many really, really good medications out there for you to continue with one that causes negative side effects or that is ineffective!! We have got to advocate for ourselves!!

@nscappa, maybe not. they might surprise you. maybe they might be willing to help you with some of the other things you find hard to do. such as the dishes, clothes. the small things. this all depends on how close you are to them. bring up about the water and dishes and clothes first. then go from there. little by little. @danny5
