5 days. 4 day weekend we went on a camping trip, and a few of us took the preceding day off to get an extra day down there.

When I got home I reeked of BO, smoke, beer and vomit. Fun times.

Depression killed off any idea of personal hygiene.

Aye, about 6 or 7 days too with me back then. In a way depression was sometimes worse than cancer.

I take a shower every, uhhh two weeks I guess, maybe less. My record was a hole month

Thank you for perpetuating the stinky Frenchman stereotype.

Something around two weeks on basic. More recently, did 10 days for survival training in Manitoba/Northwest Ontario with no showering. The good news was that I didn't have to shave and could grow my glorious beard. Bad news was that I couldn't close my hand properly from all the bug bites.

feth Manitoba.

The only thing I can do during depression is shower, it makes me feel... I donno, a bit better.
I always akin it to some sort of religious experience since, I have no real belief in things.
Water is the literal source of life and I feel just closer to things when I am like showering, I donno, it's an odd thought.
I've never gone past a day or two. It generally falls in routine and I hate having my hair feel flat and ugly.

3 weeks without shower on scouting camp.
No way I am getting near those rickety DIY banyas.
Besides, we did swim quite often and after the first night the smell of campfire smoke supresses all other smells anyways.

In my worst times, I have literally sat down in a corner in my room without drinking or eating something for a little more than 2 days. Depression super sucks. Having been single at that time wasn't a good thing either.
