Sooo my psychologist is recommending me to do exposure therapy, but I feel like I don’t want to do it??
But it’s pretty relevant to mention it’s in relation to how I look and how I present myself.
I also have severe Depression which makes me unable to shower and take care of myself. So when I haven’t showered and have greasy hair, I cannot go outside because people will look at me and think “what a bum”
But my psychologist wants me to do exposure therapy and go out with greasy hair… but I feel like my friends will think I’m disgusting and will be weirded out, especially if it’s one of those times I haven’t showered for weeks…
Idk where I’m going with this, I just needed to share with someone as I’m uncertain and don’t really know what to do… I feel like it’s a valid thing to worry about, or maybe it is just my anxiety??
Also if I smell bad, people will not want to be in the near vicinity of me… so isn’t it normal to not want to go outside if I haven’t showered?
And worse of all I think of the greasy…
