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.
I don’t wanna get in but once I’m in I don’t wanna get out
Hits right at home
Yup. This.
I’ve been doing this as long as I can remember.
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.
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.
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.
God yes, I love warm water so much
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 have a built in timer that is my water heater running out of hot water, otherwise I would spend much longer in there.
It gets expensive in some places
Long showers are the best part of the day.
