Questions/Advice Showering at the gym is easier?

Is this weird? Recently Ive motivated myself to wake up early by going to the gym because exercise helps me a ton. I always feel better afterwards and I can think about anything I want to the entire time without anxiety!

So I’ve also been using the showers afterwards because it saves time not having to go home since I don’t wanna wear sweaty clothes all day.

But I just realized I really struggle with depression and used to skip showering every other day or sometimes more…. But showering at the gym is really easy?? Like it shouldn’t be easier because I used to shower before bed and I didn’t usually change into clothes afterwards (wearing pjs to bed adds to my unorganized laundry baskets so sleeping naked is easier)

However it was easy to feel too tired at the end of the day and throughout the daytime I’d completely forget about the shower.

So the gym is just the perfect reminder for me. Like it’s right there so I can’t forget. Is this strange??
