Love it! I’ve never done it unless I’m feeling really sick or really sad, but it’s so nice—why not every day?
I had a real nasty shower in the house I lived in as a kid. It changed the way I see showers. The thought of sitting down in one. Ehh, it sends shivers down my spine. But you do you. If you like it you like. Also, I first misread the title as shower shitters and, the first line of the description made me think you were going to talk about dropping a log down the drain pipe.
If I'm sitting in the shower I'm probably in a depression spiral
:(
Try it when your feeling good. ✌️💛
I‘m too fat and clumsy to comfortably sit down now, but before life fucked me this hard I definitely used to do that as well. Just really comfy somehow. Like sitting out in the rain, which I enjoy as well.
When I was growing up in Jakarta, the downstairs shower was partially open at the top, so when it would rain (often) you could just shower in the rain. It was absolutely lovely and the tile work was well done so sometimes I would just lay naked on the floor in the rain and bliss out. I still (when possible) will just lay down in the rain.
In the rain? Seems cold haha
I used to. More of a kneeling kind of position though. No idea why I did it... Just did it once, must have liked it, did it the next day, and repeat.
Kneeling hey? That sounds painful!
I couldn't think of the word I was looking for when I wrote this. More of a crouch. IDK why I said kneel.
😅
Only when I'm sick, really.
Sure, best way to cry in the shower is in a heap in the tub.
It seems like it would be calming. Though I feel the tub gets a bit gross for this.
Any chair recommendations for tubs? What about shower heads that work best to not drown you?
AFAIK people in Japan shower sitting, maybe other nations as well
You can add Australia to that list 👍
I bought a nice shower seat for my spouse several years back so she didn't have to balance awkwardly on one foot to wash the other. I've used it on occasion when I'm not feeling super great and oh damn does it make a the shower that much more relaxing, at least if I can get the showerhead aimed so I'm not being pelted in the face.
I’ve got the perfect aim so it runs down my back and body, keeps me warm. And my left arm is free to use my phone.
