Is it normal that i do this in the shower when i don't feel well?

Lay on the floor of the shower,and just sit there.
With the water hitting me.
I just recently got the flu,I showered for 2 hours...
I layed on the ground of the shower and just sat there.
Thinking,also? It makes reellaaxx and calm down.
Is this normal?

    Hot showers are the best. But 2 hours seems a little much. =) Your skin will wrinkleee up.

    Yes, it's perfectly normal.

    Try putting the plug in and have a shower-bath

    I do something similar. When I'm feeling sick or sad about something, and I happen to be taking a shower while this feeling comes over me, I just sit down and cry. And you're right, it feels good having the water hit you.

        Thanks for having empathy. Even though I'm separated by a screen, reading some of your comments (as well as other peoples comments), really shows that you, and a lot of other people on this site, probably are really good hearted people.

          It was just the thought of you in the shower, crying. It made me want to give you a hug. And, yeah, screen/distance, etc., so I opted for long-distance empathy.

          You're right, there are good people on the site. I could name quite a few who have their heart in the right place. I've noticed your comments a few times now and know that you are one of them.

    Two hours?

    at that point you should consider taking a bath instead. You'd use less water.

    However I understand wanting to be in warm water while sick.. it's probably a comfort to your aching body.

    I don't think its "normal" in the sense of commonly being done, but it isn't really weird. I do the same thing minus laying down or taking 2 hour showers. The [Insert whatever chemical it releases in the body] wears off before then.

    I wish I could do that, but the water makes my hair poofy and ruins it:/

    I do this when I'm sad too, and when I'm just wanting to feel relaxed ^^ It's a huge stress reliever. Water helps in so many ways. Emotional grime is just as real as actual dirt. Showers do wonders in washing those away.

    I do the same thing. Sometimes showering is the only thing that makes me feel better when I'm ill or sad.

      Water doesn't "run out". It is completely renewable. People wonder why their water/heating bills are so high though?

          We clean more of it than we need though.. energy is the bigger issue.

  • Talk about wasting water. Why not just take a bath?
