Ever since my gf broke up with me, I've been taking showers to keep my mind off things. I noticed lately though that I've been taking 2+ showers a day now, just to keep warm. I take a clean shower earlier in the morning, and the rest are just to keep warm.

Its not like its cold in here, but I feel cold, kind of like an absence, you know? Anyways, is it bad for my skin or hair to take that many showers? I've taken 3 today, and I'm urging for another one...

I take lots of showers when I'm sick. Like today, I took three.

Hot showers are already bad for you, 3 a day is insane.

I switched to cold and it sucked at first but I don't really regret it.

Not to mention you would save a shit load on your electric bill.

Electric?
And damn, I take REALLY hot showers, and I take them long enough to the point the hot water stops coming out. Why are they bad for me?

hobosexual · 01-26-2010, 03:30 AM

Yeah you have to use electricity to heat up the water lol.

My electric bills were crazy high (like almost a thousand) and I only used to take one shower a day, albeit a really hot one.

And it's bad for you because it strips your skin of it's natural oils and dries it out.

Even if you moisturize 2 hot showers that last until the hot water runs out is gonna be too much.

The only negative health affects I've heard that are related to over-showering is dry skin. By in my opinion, you should try to find a different way to cope regardless.

I completely understand. Yeah at one point in my last breakup I was taking numerous showers a day. Even when there wasn't any hot water left, i'd be standing in there with like freezing cold water. Well It is really bad for your skin, it should dry it out. You should stop. Truthfully, if you want to feel better as much as it sounds like it won't work. Make a little private blog, like a xanga or something. Then blog in it your feelings, but make it private so no one will ever be able to read it. It'll feel like it's out there for them to read but in reality it's not and it gets a lot of your chest. For any problem you should blog there. I think i'll make a new blog again. The key here is family, your family will be the one who's there for you. I spent countless nights in a row at my auntie's house.

relieve your stress by going to a martial arts arena and sparring with the master lol~

or you can just be a gamer...or listen to hard music...or go to a strip club...or get high...or get drunk...or...err...

Sounds like you have some mild depression. You need to do something awesome to snap out of it, or get some meds.

I shower two times a day....all the time. What is so bad with that? I just hate when I feel greasy...

I shower after dinner, and before bed. I don't take HOT showers like the OP said, but hey... I enjoy my warmth.

I believe someone already said it drys skin, but thats all I actually know. If I were you, I'd go hang with your friends, helps a bit.
