I’m curious, does anybody else sit down in the shower. (That’s right not a typo. Sitters, not shitters)
This started for me when I was younger, usually when I was nursing a gnarly hangover. The warm water beating down on me was a solace and sitting just made it feel all the more comforting. Though I’m sure it’s not the most hygienic.
Over the years, it’s evolved into a ritual, now my preferred way to unwind and relax. So much so, I’m building a concrete bench seat in the shower, with a custom shower head above it, as part of our bathroom renovations. (Similar to the pic)
I’m curious if anyone else has a similar routine. Do you find it therapeutic too? Any particular reason why you started?
Lemmy needs a hide option. I am not a shower sitter but I do not want to downvote to get it off my feed. You guys will now live at the top of my feed out of respect for your life choices.
Thankyou for the honour. 🙏
People don’t do this sometimes??? I enjoy doing this as often as possible. I started doing it when I had some headaches and didn’t feel like bending backwards (tall guy problems in a small shower) so I would just sit and let the water flow over me like I was being blessed by the water gods of headache removal. Haven’t looked back since, it’s so damn soothing!
Since I was a kid. You’re the first person I’ve ever heard talk about it. I guess I always thought it was super weird so i never told anyone.
Yeh. I’m Shocked here tbh. I feel like I’ve found my people. I was always told it was super weird too!
There are dozens of us!
Edit: Damn it, scrolled down and saw someone beat me to this. There are clearly too many of us.
Why can’t you both say it?
I used to straight up nap in the shower as a kid. My parents thought I was jerking off but I was legitimately just taking a power nap.
Dude. Same. I would sometimes make a little sleep mask out of a wash cloth.
I just let my parents think that. Somehow, yanking it seemed less weird.
Holy shit are we the same person?
Yes. Often. I love it, it feels…. Safe? Same as you, started doing at as a part of the hangover ritual; now I do it a couple times a week. It’s relaxing. Head hanging down, warm water dripping down my nose. Comfy.
Yeah, I do it occasionally. Bad headache or hangover. That’ll usually do the trick.
Exactly the same. Usually standing up, but if it’s a really bad morning I sit down.
More often than not I also close the drain so it becomes a bath and suddenly I’m stewing in my own shame and regret.
The place I moved into recently has a seat built into the shower.
Jeez I read shower SHITTERS and came to laugh at all of the weirdos. Thankfully I don’t have to write off humanity as early as usual this morning.
Give it time.
Generally only when I’m hungover.
Sometimes you just gotta sit, it’s relaxing, it’s not quite a full bath scenario but not quite a shower, a nice middle
Yup, it’s like meditation for me. Helps me unwind.
I had an ex-gf that would sit down for showers when possible, and sometimes fall asleep lol
Me too haha
I haven’t done it in a while but when I did it was a way to relax and unwind a bit.
Now though I haven’t had the luxury of time to do so.
I recommend taking a moment to do it today ! Give yourself the pleasure.
I’d love to, but I don’t have the time to do so in my morning shower. If I tried I’d be late to work.
Add in an evening shower before sleep to unwind.

Sure, best way to cry in the shower is in a heap in the tub.
If I’m sitting in the shower I’m probably in a depression spiral
:(
Try it when your feeling good. ✌️💛
