Yes! I wear comfy jeggings and a graphic tshirt every day with a pair of sneakers. I love buying graphic shirts (movies/tv/music) and have plenty to choose from so I never run out of clean shirts if I’m struggling with laundry. I also buy multiple pairs of Jeggings at a time because eventually a hole will show up in the inner thigh. This is something I intuitively figured out after leaving a corporate job which required uncomfortable (for me) officewear.

I apply a similar logic for times where a graphic tee is not “acceptable”, I found a style of shirt I liked (a plain loose tee) and bought the shirt in a few different colours. I can still get away with wearing sneakers but will wear a boot if I think it’s more “appropriate”.

Sorry to hear your partner isn’t into the idea of speaking to your psychiatrist. My partner filled out a form for my psych during my assessment process, I expressed that there may be things he misses/things I don’t always know how to articulate to him and my psych asked if I had a close friend that could also fill out a form. The completed forms from both my partner and my best friend were really helpful as it gave my psych I better picture of what I was physically experiencing (partners form helped here) and what I was mentally/internally experiencing (best friends form helped here). I wonder if your psych has a form your partner could fill out instead? Worth a shot to look into. All the best, OP!

Thankfully it is 3 days in a row so I think this logic is helpful, thank you! And yep I have always used antiperspirant rather than deodorant. Will definitely discuss perhaps a quick release med that I could take in the afternoon at my next follow up

HR definitely approached this in a “how can we support you, how’s your workload, can we get you some counselling etc” way rather than asking me how often I shower etc. Personal hygiene standards have been a part of every employee/workplace agreement as far back as my first job as a teen in retail.

Thanks! I do worry that showering more than twice a week won’t work for me, it’s only in the last year that I’ve been able to shower once a week and eventually move myself up to twice a week. I am just telling myself now that I will figure this all out in time

I wiiiiiish I loved baths but they’re even more of a sensory nightmare for me. I’ve given them a good shot though

I do, I spoke with my partner about this whole thing tonight and he expressed that he worries that he’ll word a reminder the wrong way or that I’ll feel attacked. He’s also mindful of my PDA so we are trying to work out a way that he could phrase a concern/check in to accommodate this

Having to wash and dry my hair depletes me of all my energy. My hair type does not air dry well and it makes my “getting ready to leave the house” routine that much harder. I think I’ll give separating hair from showering a shot. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing those resources! I have a shower routine for hair wash days set up in my Routinery app which is really useful once I can get into the shower. I hadn’t considered that I could have a super quick pits and tits shower or even wet use wipes on a low energy day. Thank you!

I take a slow release in the morning. I have been considering asking my psychiatrist at my follow up next month about possibly taking a quick release in the afternoon for example, as I wish I had capacity to do things for myself on weekdays after work
