hello and hugs @Bow , @Snowie , @tyme

Hi @Shaz51

@tyme glad your day has been good.

I had a shower and washed my hair which has made me feel a little better.

Just chillin on the couch now.

chillin on the couch sounds soo good @Snowie xxxxx

It's good that you feel slightly better after your shower @Snowie .

I don't like washing my hair....

Just shows how different people are.

I hadn't washed my hair for weeks @tyme or had a shower for days.

I find showering hard when I get depressed.

well done for today my @Snowie 😍

It's the only thing I have done for the day @Shaz51

Feel like I have just been hiding the rest of today.

Hi @tyme @Shaz51 @Snowie.

Ive just had a chat with a peer worker and it was very validating. It has helped immensely. I now feel safer. I’m still really scared about my psychologist appointment tomorrow though. I don’t want it to be as hard as the last one. But I know it needs to be to start in the feeling process. I do have a counsellor app tomorrow night too.

I’m glad you had a good day @tyme.

I’m glad washing your hair and a shower have helped @Snowie. I struggle with it too. I hate washing my hair and find it hard to be bothered to have a shower.

Thanks for the toolbox @Shaz51.

I struggle to shower and wash my hair when I’m depressed too. But I have discovered while in hospital that I have lovely curly hair when I just let my hair drip dry naturally.

Yeah, i just don't like the feel of washing my hair, having wet hair and have to brush all the yuck out... but that's just me. @Captain24 @Snowie . I can also hear what you mean by it just being in the too hard basket and not a priority when things are low.

@Captain24 - I'm so encouraged to hear that you feel you talking to the peer worker helped. Do you think going into your psych appointment session with a list of things to discuss will guide it in the way that you want?
