People with anxiety probably use more hand sanitizer - they may be paranoid about germs, etc. </p> <p>However, I am able to relax much more if I'm clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/showers-or-bath-vs-mood#post-1185217 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:13:37 +0000 hilsy85 1185217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like a case or correlation being mistaken for causation (the hand sanitizer thing). I don't think using hand sanitizer causes anxiety :) </p> <p>I do definitely find that my mood improves once I shower! I think it's a combination of feeling clean and having 10 minutes to myself in the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/showers-or-bath-vs-mood#post-1185211 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:09:44 +0000 pastemoo 1185211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How closely tied is your cleanliness with your mood?<br /> I read something negative about mood after using hand sanitizer (sorry, can't find the link)--I think it was that people who used more hand sanitizer had more anxiety.<br /> I feel like the cleaner I am, the better I feel. It's like a workout--you don;t want to do it, but once it's over (and you're clean) you feel kind of amazing.<br /> No? </p>
