Turning the tap on that nice bed-like environment is a real dopamine hurdle. And I keep getting lost in my thoughts. Bathrooms are practically stimulation-less spaces.
Frequently. Sometimes the only thing that snaps me back into reality is the hot water running out.
That’s me. Hot water running out means the shower is over. :(
God help me if I ever get one of those instant hot water heaters. They’ll be putting my face on milk cartons.
I’ve been doing this as long as I can remember.
this isn’t solely a ADHD thing
A shower has been part of my morning routine for years. It’s more about clearing my head and waking up than it is cleaning myself.
God yes, I love warm water so much
Bathrooms are practically stimulation-less spaces.
Disagree. The water is perfect stimulation. The way it touches your skin, the temperature control, the rain sound, the blocking of all else. A shower is stimulatory contentment.
Hell yes it’s a sensory thing. The warm water and the water hitting my body. The white noise. Also, not wearing clothing. It’s all mesmerizing.
I don’t wanna get in but once I’m in I don’t wanna get out
Hits right at home
Yup. This.
Long showers are the best part of the day.
I have a built in timer that is my water heater running out of hot water, otherwise I would spend much longer in there.
