Since I was a kid. You’re the first person I’ve ever heard talk about it. I guess I always thought it was super weird so i never told anyone.

I had an ex-gf that would sit down for showers when possible, and sometimes fall asleep lol

Sometimes when everything gets too overwhelming I'll sit in the shower

It's relaxing but I lose track of time pretty easy and the amount of hot water I have is pretty limited

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I just sit right on the bathroom floor. Don't even care. I'm the one who cleans that bathroom, I know that shits clean, yanno?

Yeah I shi- Oh shower sitters. Uh yeah I sit in the shower sometimes, when life is just hard.

Yeah, I do it occasionally. Bad headache or hangover. That'll usually do the trick.

I used to do it a lot, but now that I share my shower with my roommate, I think it’s kind of gross, so I stopped. But it was nice, I really enjoyed it, especially with some good music.

I also did it while I was in Japan, since the bathroom layouts over there allow for showering while sitting and then simmering in the bath tub.

When my nerve pain rose to the point that I lost the use of my leg, I invested in a shower chair.

Now that I'm rehabilitated, I still use the shower chair because it's absolutely delightful to just chill with good posture in the warm shower.

Lemmy needs a hide option. I am not a shower sitter but I do not want to downvote to get it off my feed. You guys will now live at the top of my feed out of respect for your life choices.

People don't do this sometimes??? I enjoy doing this as often as possible. I started doing it when I had some headaches and didn't feel like bending backwards (tall guy problems in a small shower) so I would just sit and let the water flow over me like I was being blessed by the water gods of headache removal. Haven't looked back since, it's so damn soothing!

The place I moved into recently has a seat built into the shower.

You don't want to know how I misread that title. 😶

Yes. Often. I love it, it feels…. Safe? Same as you, started doing at as a part of the hangover ritual; now I do it a couple times a week. It’s relaxing. Head hanging down, warm water dripping down my nose. Comfy.

I always sit down in the shower. Always. Pretty good feeling. In fact, I just did it, 5-10 minutes ago.

It’s like the best combination of a shower and a bath! I also started when I was younger… I had to get up really early in the morning and the only way I could get myself out of bed was to lay down and basically sleep in the shower. It was soo relaxing but eventually woke me up enough for the day. I still do it sometimes when I really want to relax or am very tired.

I haven’t done it in a while but when I did it was a way to relax and unwind a bit.

Now though I haven’t had the luxury of time to do so.

Best way to unwind. Best way to get over a headache or hangover. I like to go from as hot as I can handle down to as cold as I can handle & alternate for as long as I feel I need. Magic.

Jeez I read shower SHITTERS and came to laugh at all of the weirdos. Thankfully I don't have to write off humanity as early as usual this morning.

Both my knees need replacing and my left hip is shot at too I have a shower seat so that I can shower when they hurt. I do find it's relaxing and many a time I've been close to falling asleep

I‘m too fat and clumsy to comfortably sit down now, but before life fucked me this hard I definitely used to do that as well. Just really comfy somehow. Like sitting out in the rain, which I enjoy as well.

Yup, it's like meditation for me. Helps me unwind.

Only when I need a good cry

Generally only when I'm hungover.

Sometimes you just gotta sit, it’s relaxing, it’s not quite a full bath scenario but not quite a shower, a nice middle

In the gym the shower has a seat. It's so nice to sit in and relax.

However my home shower is way to small for a seat.

If I'm sitting in the shower I'm probably in a depression spiral

Sure, best way to cry in the shower is in a heap in the tub.
