Re: I felt overwhelmed, so I didn’t shower. Then I showered, and now I feel more overwhelmed

isnit a stand up shower or a tub?
if tub - try to take a bath that loosens up the dirt.
additional possibilities:
*use washcloths, toss them after if you feel like it
* as anon said before, gentle scrubs, even homemade are fine. like, coffee grounds and oil, or sugar and oil. mind you, there needs to be shower gel after to rinse ofd the oil (skin is gonna be hella smooth afterwarfs tho!)
* for hair, a tub or basin to soak would be easiest. Start with very generous amounts of conditioner or a hair mask, whatever you have available, detangle section for section with a wide comb, wash out after. it might take a few washes.

small steps anon, small steps! taking a few days or a week or two to get clean is absolutely reasonsable. You didnt get that dirty in one day, so its ok to take longer than one day to remedy it.

Thank you for all the advice. I can definitely use some of that. The fact that a bath can “loosen up” the dirt is heartening. One of the reasons I have trouble with hygiene is because I can’t really tell when something is actually helping me get clean, so it’s good to have confirmation from others that things work.

You have a good point, that I didn’t get this dirty in one day. I sweat a lot at work, so keeping up with that is hard, but it’s good to realize that it won’t set me back all the way when the week starts.
