I used to stare off into nothingness in the shower. It would take maybe 7-8 minutes to actually wash myself; sporadically throughout the process, I'd zone out for a couple minutes at a time.
Now, I've got long curly hair that needs frequent tending to. Unless I want my showers to be an hour+ long, I gotta stay focused. I still stare off into nothingness while brushing and whatnot, that helps take away the dread.
Same. And when I come back to the present, I will sometimes lose track of what was washed already because I was on autopilot/dissociating before stopping to stare at nothing.
Next time you wonder whether you already shampooed:
Grab a stretch of hair between thumb and middle finger. Pull/away from head. Listen for squeak. If you hear the squeak, put the shampoo down!
Came to say this!
Thick, curly waist-length hair requires that I be in there. God help me if I want to do a second pass at it.
