For me showering means standing in a windowless room staring at a blank wall for 20 minutes (I get lost in my thoughts). Also there are several steps and I have to think about each of them.
This means that I only end up showering when my fear of coming across as dirty becomes bigger than the dread of being bored.
What do you do?
How do you shower dor 20 minutes?
Just kinda stand there and daydream
Recently installed a tankless electric system so I sadly no longer get kicked out for running out of hot water lol
This. I forget I’m in the shower.
15 minutes MINIMUM to wash and condition my hair then clean my body. The rest of the time is thinking or unspecified activities.
I have long, thick, curly hair and washing it involves making sure the water soaks through to my scalp, making sure the conditioner gets through to the scalp, combing it through once it’s soaked with product (brushing it dry is a nightmare), scrubbing every inch of my scalp to avoid skin or dirt build up, then rinsing it.
This is a time consuming process. Luckily, my ADHD doesn’t interfere in this process because it makes every shower about me having an argument with someone where I win. Or babbling to myself about whatever major concerns I have (do I want to have children?)
And also I listen to podcasts. Right now I’m doing Dungeons and Daddies and the opening/closing song for it is such a goddamned banger it’s been playing nonstop in my head for at least the past 6 days.
