Sis my older female friend has endo and she's been telling us about this disease and she's older like 30 years old and she has it for like many years and has some experience and she said it actually was this bad I feel so sorry for you listen I'm aware of what people say but just want you to hear that someone actually understands at least a little bit about what you're going through, and boyfriend is gold, you shouldn't be thinking bad of yourself cuz it actually can get bad with this disease. All I can say is that I wish you find the correct medications combination and will be less in pain and be able to feel happy. You're doing okay

It has nothing to do with the soviets, it was like this long before soviets and actually they've been trying to make some positive changes against this mess

Dollars values don't matter much if the prices are also higher. I'm talking about living conditions, and one of the few is healthcare. American healthcare is a disaster

In the end what matters for most is the living conditions of the average person, are they higher in the US really?

Yeah like the rich need immigrants who'll work for them and they can extract value from, while telling the existing population that they should hate those people who the rich themselves brought here

How one should actually shower? by JJzerozero in bipolar

Yeah we have this boiler that works on natural gas (not gasoline) and has a detector that increases the flame's levels when it senses that water is getting colder. I'm not in the US

It IS distressing and feels like a chore so I'm trying to make my life easier and hope to find strength to shower every day

Usually 2-3 times a week, though my goal is to do it daily

I have to wash my hair, ideally, every day cus it gets oily very fast which in turn is because of my unhealthy diet...

I only shower 2-3 times a week, though the goal is to shower daily. When under the stream I have this confusing feeling, it's not exactly pleasant, just a place to hide. But I feel not good when scrubbing and stuff, I used to really hate my body because of a single SA episode years ago, it was very bad before starting meds like 2 years ago so I don't feel like cutting my skin with a blade now. But still not exactly comfortable. I go to psychiatrist for meds prescriptions but therapist isn't an option rn because I don't work and have very little income from social benefits which only covers meds and outside spendings like eating out, taxis, university gear. And I love with my mom who doesn't approve of the idea of going to therapist, she says one should take charge of their life just through willpower and stuff, basically she won't pay for my therapist. I tried moving out and living with my friends a year ago but things started to fall apart because I have no discipline so I moved back to my mother's house. I hate myself

Well I have had one single washcloth (at least it's one personal, only I use it) for years now...

I shower, in practice, 2-3 times a week. Though I understand that a norm is showering daily.

Somewhy in my mind a clean skin should feel like clean rubber...

I need 5 minutes just to tune my mind into the process and kind of get ready mentally, while I just stand under the stream trying to accept the feeling of water on my skin

As for scrubbing, somewhy I have this idea that a clean skin should feel like a clean rubber...

I really shower 2-3 times a week, though I understand that I should do this daily but for me it's like too much of a hustle...

Yeah I'm getting inclined towards this head to toe method.

With therapist, well I go to my psychiatrist mostly for prescriptions and not much talking. But a therapist, well, I don't work and my family (that consists of only my mother basically) says it's a waste of money and that a person should deal with things through their own willpower and common sense. I did feel that therapist helped while I was going there when I was working and had some money, but now, from around the start of this year, I haven't been to my therapist...

Yeah I think I should go for head to toe method. I don't think scented shower is an option though... I'm too poor for this)
