The past two days I’ve taken cold showers, and I’ve never felt better! For one, heat makes me itchy, so constantly taking hot showers gets my skin enflamed and red, and it makes me self-conscious. I also get trapped in negative though cycles while taking hot showers because I spend so much time in them, and it kills my mood and I sometimes have panic attacks while taking hot showers. Not because of the heat, but you know what I mean. 

With cold showers, I don’t spend a long time in the shower, and my skin overall feels better after, which makes me feel confident! They’ve also helped me distract myself from anxious feelings when they show up, which has been nice. I’m definitely going to slowly switch because I think it’s really going to help. Just wanted to share this because I know I’m not alone!
