Shower Sitters, Are You Out There? (lemmyunchained.net)

I’m curious, does anybody else sit down in the shower. (That’s right not a typo. Sitters, not shitters)

This started for me when I was younger, usually when I was nursing a gnarly hangover. The warm water beating down on me was a solace and sitting just made it feel all the more comforting. Though I’m sure it’s not the most hygienic.

Over the years, it's evolved into a ritual, now my preferred way to unwind and relax. So much so, I’m building a concrete bench seat in the shower, with a custom shower head above it, as part of our bathroom renovations. (Similar to the pic)

I'm curious if anyone else has a similar routine. Do you find it therapeutic too? Any particular reason why you started?

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.

Yeh. I get horrible migraines. A few a month. Definitely plays a big role in that behaviour too.

I always try to finish on the cold. Seems to be better. But I hate being cold.

I recently bought one of those gel skull ice pack things. Actually really helpful.

Or freezing cold can of coke and 3 aspirin.
