Hello stranger! Welcome to the forums (if you're new)!
Also, sorry about my awful grammar, this is me writing down as my brain thinks if that makes sense so im not very focused on grammar...
I understand you're feeling detached at the moment, and thats completely alright. It feels awful but it doesnt exactly mean youre getting worse, when it comes to mental health, its a crazy roller roaster and this particular loop might seem endless but you get out of it.
As for not having a shower in a few days, its not particularly bad, even if it isnt exactly good. Many people, myself included have had rough patches and forgotten some basic elements of self care in the process. First word of advice is have a long shower, or bath if you like them. Go a bit crazy and throw in a bath bomb or bubbles! Just treat yourself. It might not feel like it does much but if it does then you can build up tactics for other times you feel like this.
Second is set up a system so you remember to look after yourself, whether its little sticky notes left in places for you to refind or notifications on your phone. Little things like this can make sure youre staying healthy even on days you dont feel your best.
These moods really do feel endless, and many others have had them too, so know youre not alone in it.
Have you tried talking to someone about how you're feeling when it gets like this? A family member, friend, or someone else?
Talking about how youre feeling can always help, even if it sounds like a generic answer. If you dont want to talk with people at home, (which is completely understandable, some people just arent comfterble talking about these these things with family or friends at certain points) you can call 1300 22 4636 just to talk about everything with non judgemental professionals.
hope to hear from you soon!
love, Sam
