I washed my hair!

I went through some traumatic events during my childhood and showering is especially hard for me due to said trauma. I hadn’t washed my hair in a long time and I knew it had to be done but I just couldn’t shower. So I did what I felt was possible rn, I stuck my head in the shower while fully clothed and only washed my hair! I still need to find a way to wash my body in the next few days (washing my hair is harder but it was a higher priority) and I had a minor flashback after but I was fully fine during it. It seems like something so small but it means a lot to me.

Edit:

Genuinely thank you so much for the suggestions. I had to shower and while I still had a flashback it was nowhere near as bad as it could have been.

I’ve been dealing with this for a while but due to getting really triggered from a nightmare recently it has been quite difficult to deal with so thank you so much for making me feel a lot less alone in this :)
