I think sometimes you can tell by looking at someone if they are in that stage where their self-care has fallen off. I think I look ill for variouis reasons. For one, my self-care has fallen off a bit. I used to do my hair, put on make-up, pick out pretty jewelry (never went without,) wear matching socks (not just matching together but matching my outfit,) and so on. Used to wear contacts...
Now my hair is brushed and clean but usually wild and all over. No make-up, no jewelry except my ring. I just kind of look thrown together and I can't seem to get it back together. I have recently started putting my hair up into a pony tail every day, I find that a great accomplishment. LOL
The other reason I look ill is when I'm sick i get these black circles under my eyes. The sicker I am the darker they get. My mom was the same way. Since she had cancer it looked like someone had punched her in both eyes pretty much all the time.
