Why is the water from my bathroom tap hotter than that from my shower with the heat dial turned all the way up?

The water from my shower has been significantly cooler than it used to lately. It’s not even warm enough of the glass shower screen to completely fog up, yet the bath and tap gets really hot.

Water used to be a lot hotter. I’m the only person in my house who takes showers so no one is in a hurry to fix this. My mum wants me to just take a bath but I can’t- it’s an anxiety thing.

It could be a few things. The shower cartridge night have something wrong with it or the mixing valve could be bad. You can look up these terms on YouTube. I think I remember some videos by “This Old House” that covered this topic. They are pretty good at explaining like you’re five.
