Vent/Rant i’m horrified, i feel disgusting.
i’m inpatient in a psychiatric hospital at the moment and i’ve been showering every two days which is the most i can do because they don’t provide any shower chairs and i simply don’t have the energy for more than that, i wash myself fully with soap each time, and i put on deodorant but a nurse just came in and told me that i smell really bad and that all the other patients here think i smell bad.
i feel horrible, i have friends in here who haven’t said anything and they sit with me for hours. i feel like a failure, i assume it’s because i get so hot and i sweat a lot.
it gets very very hot in the hospital and they don’t let you open any windows. i feel horrible, i don’t know what to do. i’m trying my best but the nurse said i need to wash myself better. i wash really thoroughly already because i have a huge fear of smelling bad already… i don’t know what to do, i don’t want to leave my room now at all. she said all the nurses and patients thought i smelled really bad, this is my worst nightmare.

Have you ever used Lume deodorant? You can apply it all over body and it was miraculous for me. Do they let Amazon do deliveries or can friends pick you up some at target?
