Showering and mental health

I haven't showered in over a week and I can feel my depression worsening.


My life is far from an easy one to deal with every day and just having this on top of everything I deal with on a daily basis is like the world keeps testing me and trying to find my limit.


I don't want to leave the house, (which is so ironic because on Monday I had plans to do something for me and my life to better it just slightly, but no, had to be taken away from me) I hate looking at myself in the mirror, I cant have my hair down because it's so gross it bothers me, I just feel so disgusting.


For context, the drains are blocked and the plumbers my family use take ages to actually come round to try fix the problem.


I am going insane and I don't like when I feel like this because I feel very on edge and impulsive to do not very good things to myself.

Hiya. Sorry to hear how you’re feeling right now, that just sucks! 

Just wondering if when you begin to feel like this, do you have any distractions? Not necessarily going out, especially if you’re not up to it yet. Maybe something in the house to get on with. 

I hope the plumber comes out soon, it’s so frustrating waiting for workmen isn’t it.
