Making Showering Easier W/ Executive Dysfunction

Making Showering Easier w/ Executive Dysfunction

On this account we cover how to do things that are "common sense" or generally untaught for the people who dont know. Shame-free. Today, we'll be covering tips to help shower when you struggle with executive dysfunction, a depressive episode or something similar. Executive dysfunction can cause tasks that seem easy and simple for most look insurmountable to people who suffer with it. Sadly, there's no quick fix, but below will be tips on making bathing easier.

Tip 1: Taking away the pressure - A big reason bathing can feel like such a daunting task is because you're looking at the big picture. A list of things you need or feel like you have to do; washing your body, your hair, shaving, going about your regular routine. Simply put, simplify your shower. Gauge what you can manage and cut out the rest. If you can only wash your hair or only wash your body its far better than nothing at all. If you cant do either, just letting the water run over you is enough.

There isnt any hard and fast rules you must follow while showering. You dont have the energy to stand? Then sit. You can invest in a shower stool or just sit right on the floor. "I cant shower, its 3am!" Says who? When motivation strikes, its best to ride that wave no matter what time of day it is. Is the process of getting ready after you shower the daunting part? Pick out comfortable clothes, air dry your hair or even plan to reward yourself afterwards with something you've been wanting to do. Thinking of being able to curl up on the couch comfortable, clean and cozy may strike some motivation.

Tip 2: Make it fun - This tip definitely isnt for everyone, but it may be helpful for some. Try to indulge in some things to make your showers more fun and increase the motivation to do it. Some quick, free things you can do are playing music or even setting your phone or tablet a safe distance away to have your favorite show or movie on in the background. You can even bring a refreshing drink or snack (fruit will never get soggy and you dont need to worry about getting sticky from popsicles!). If you're open to spending some money, there's countless other ways you could increase the motivation to shower. Fancy soaps, body scrubs, fluffy new loofahs, bath bombs or shower steamers can all leave you feeling eager to try them out. Check out the kids section, seriously. Bath tints, bathtub crayons, markers and paint can all be fun for people with a creative side. Tip 3: Dont - If none of these options sound appealing to you, then simply dont shower. There are other ways to freshen up without having to go through all the motions. Using dry shampoo can leave your hair unwashed for longer. Dampen a wash cloth with warm water and wipe down your armpits. Keeping a pack of baby wipes by your bed can help when you feel a spark of motivation. Below will be linked a few more resources and products that could help when you're having trouble. Remember, no matter how hard it may feel right now, things will get easier.

not to be a killjoy but it's still crazy to me that it's considered mean to be like "maybe you should read / play / watch the source material before creating fanworks and diving into the fandom" bc every time i see somebody going "i havent played disco elysium or know anything about it tbh but uwu here's harry and kim kissing" idk maybe you should engage with it. maybe you should play the anti-capitalist surrealist game where you investigate the murder of a mercenary who led the gang rape of a foreign girl and process that for a bit? and then you can do cutesy mlm or whatever idc. but like at the absolute bare minimum you should understand what the source material involves otherwise we get the phenomenon of people joining a dragon age server and wanting content warnings for like, mage racism. like it's fine to ship and transform the genre into whatever but if you arent comfortable with discussions of the actual source content itself then maybe the fandom isnt for you and a different one is. peace and love.

One thing I love about Cemetery Boys is that Julian explains he doesn’t talk in Spanish because that was the language he spoke with his dad and when his dad died, Spanish became to intimate to speak with others. Later, he starts speaking Spanish here and there but only to Yadriel or in reference to Yadriel. As readers we can easily trace when Julian started falling for Yadriel by noticing when he uses Spanish to communicate. (I mean we can track it in other ways because our boy Julian is not into subtlety) From the moment Julian thought he was dying and answered all of Yadriel’s questions in Spanish to “¿Me dejas robarte un beso?” to  “Mi querido!”(We will not talk about his desperate cries). It took me more than a minute to understand the significance of Julian suddenly speaking in Spanish, but when I did I had tears in my eyes. This beautiful idiot, how dare he do this to me.

People love the trope of characters speaking in their native languages to their cherished ones and I never really understood what the big deal was until freaking now. I’ve never seen characters in books speak lovingly to each other in Spanish before and I feel robbed. Somehow, I’ve been living too long in a country that regards Spanish as a vulgar language(you must assimilate and that means not speaking your native tongue) and I forgot how beautiful and romantic Spanish can be. 

Anyways, I want to see more of this. Two idiots tenderly speaking to each other in Spanish while their loved ones stare at them dumbfounded.

average male lady dimitrescu fan: hur dur she have big tiddy *has lady dimitrescu rule 34 art as lockscreen*

The Sapphics™: *writes 12,485 word long character analysis that attempts to examine the traits, characteristics and history of Lady Alcina Dimitrescu-- as well as speculative theory on both the direct and ambient trauma she may have endured living as a woman in the early to mid 1900s and how that could have shaped her into who she is today*
