Sometimes showering is just too daunting, but that's not what I'm talking about.

When my anxiety is flaring, but not *really* severe, I have real difficultly showering. It's like anxiety leaves me feeling so fatigued that I can barely do it. Something about the heat, steam, and physical toll of washing just leaves me winded, which leads to feeling sort of claustrophobic in a weird way that's difficult to explain.

It's weird because I don't feel that way if I exercise, or if I just stand around for ten minutes. And I don't always feel so tired the rest of the day. Something about showering just takes it out of me. By the time I get out I have to sit down and catch my breath before I dry off.

Anyone else?
