I used to. More of a kneeling kind of position though. No idea why I did it... Just did it once, must have liked it, did it the next day, and repeat.

If I'm sitting in the shower I'm probably in a depression spiral
:(
Try it when your feeling good. ✌️💛
It seems like it would be calming. Though I feel the tub gets a bit gross for this.
Any chair recommendations for tubs? What about shower heads that work best to not drown you?

I bought a nice shower seat for my spouse several years back so she didn't have to balance awkwardly on one foot to wash the other. I've used it on occasion when I'm not feeling super great and oh damn does it make a the shower that much more relaxing, at least if I can get the showerhead aimed so I'm not being pelted in the face.
I’ve got the perfect aim so it runs down my back and body, keeps me warm. And my left arm is free to use my phone.
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.
When I was growing up in Jakarta, the downstairs shower was partially open at the top, so when it would rain (often) you could just shower in the rain. It was absolutely lovely and the tile work was well done so sometimes I would just lay naked on the floor in the rain and bliss out. I still (when possible) will just lay down in the rain.
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.

Sure, best way to cry in the shower is in a heap in the tub.
Found Alex Goldman’s burner account
Who is Alex Goldman? I tried googling. Nothing stuck out.
He used to host an awesome podcast called Reply All. See https://gimletmedia.com/amp/shows/reply-all/gmhr36.
ALEX GOLDMAN: Sitting in the shower is the best thing in the world. PJ: You just sit down in the shower? ALEX GOLDMAN: Yeah, criss cross applesauce. ALEX BLUMBERG & PJ: (laughing)
This is so wild. A few hours ago, based on past feedback, I seriously thought I was the only one.
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.
Maybe you need to work on your flexibility at that gym haha. 🧘♂️
Only when I'm sick, really.
I had a real nasty shower in the house I lived in as a kid. It changed the way I see showers. The thought of sitting down in one. Ehh, it sends shivers down my spine. But you do you. If you like it you like. Also, I first misread the title as shower shitters and, the first line of the description made me think you were going to talk about dropping a log down the drain pipe.
That’s my next post.
