I always forget about my naval. When I was younger I would never wash behind my ears.

    Bottom of my feet. I’m really klutzy and the slippery floor is already a bit of a hazard for me without adding soap to the mix.

    My legs, the shower is small and I am tall so it’s a lot of work to actually soap them up properly. Usually I only bother maybe every second or third shower.

      I use a very small plastic stool I stole from my daughter when her toddler outgrew it. Absolute game changer for washing legs. My wife loves it too for shaving her legs.

    Has to be my back. It’s hard to reach even with a back brush because of degenerative issues in my shoulder joints. I tried one of those scrubbers with the two ropes, but it’s hard to control. Need a bigger shower so my wife can wash it for me…and get my back while she’s at it!

      Sometimes I tell myself I’m gonna get in, soap up, rinse, get out, two minutes tops.

      Then I’m just standing there in the hot water ten minutes later. Knowing l’ll be late for work if I don’t move. And just standing there, trying to somehow soak up enough heat to internalize the comfort and make it mine.

      But it’s not mine.

    Yeah, armpits… forget them from time to time.

    No worries, you’re perfectly normal 👍.

      Having been there; see if you can get a diagnosis. The medication is way cheaper and allowed me to stop self medicating completely, which has all sorts of other benefits.

        No one diagnoses that here, I live in a fucked up country. Have to go abroad for that, but currently, no money for that, have a small kid 🤷.

          One option would be to buy Vyvanse on the darknet and stick to a small dose of 30mg/day for at least 8 weeks before you change anything. You don’t need a doctor to tell you that and it will improve your life immensely with very few minor side effects. Also likely cheaper than whatever you’re currently self-medicating with and the other hidden costs of living with undiagnosed ADHD.

          But it’s probably illegal, so you know, don’t do it.

            Hm… is that thing expensive on black market? Cuz I can’t spend too much currently 😔.

            I take Escetalopramme currently, 20mg, that’s for my depression and bursts of rage… I didn’t used to have a short fuse, but raising a kid, especially a stubborn one, is not easy, so I started having them when he didn’t listen. Things are good now, haven’t had them in a while and I feel much better, more relaxed and just have more nerves for stupid things that surround me every day… I don’t take them as seriously, just go “meeeh, whatever”. So it’s not bad, but focus is a problem sometimes. Though I do have better focus now, my guess is, thanks to the drug, I would like to improve on that.

              If you’re already on medication, especially for psychological issues, disregard my entire comment.
              You definitely do need a doctor to advise you on (possibly very dangerous) interactions between meds.

                Yeah, that is true…

                I’ll see if I can do it online somehow, pay someone to diagnose me, I really can’t afford to go abroad now 😔.

                Not a doctor obviously, but I’ve been taking escitalopram and vyvanse together as prescribed by my doc. Which should be where it is coming from, honestly, considering it’s basically diet speed lol

        • You might be able to find something tele-medicine related. I’m bout familiar with your specifics, but thought I’d mention it.

          Good luck friend. The struggle is real.

        I like to soak hot (non-pressurized) water into my ears, and then let the now-molten earwax flow out once I straighten up.

        I also don’t own a bidet, so I use the shower telephone to powerwash my asshole. If I happen to fart during that process, well, call it the poor man’s enema.

          That’s why you get a bidet! With a bit more pressure they work like an enema. Just relax, fill up, purge, repeat. It’s great to combat mild constipation. Prevents butt slime - when you go and the last bit of poop refuses to come out, then slowly leaks out as you walk around.

          There are cheap $20 ones that work fine. That area of your body isn’t particularly sensitive to cold water.

        Supposedly shampooing every day strips your hair of natural oils so many people will not wash their hair at all on some days or just wash with conditioner aka “cowash.”

            Also works - similar reasons. Soap every day can hurt skin more than letting it do it’s on thing. But I absolutely adore showers - I just prefer to try and let my hair oils do their thing until appearing professional forces me to shampoo.
