Merlin (one of the Moderators here) has taught me a neat customization to Optimism: Hygiene Completed.

I define it very narrowly as:
- teeth brushed twice a day
- mouth rinse twice a day
- a shower
- AcneFree Benzoyl Peroxide once a day
- Tazorac nightly
- sunscreen on lips and hands daily

If I do do all of that, I get to put a check mark next to Hygiene Completed.

You see that flossing and make-up are absent from the list. I am not there yet. But it is better than toothbrushing once a day a year ago when I just came here. And I applied no sunscreen a year ago - none at all.

It does seem to be part of the disorder as many people seem to count showers as accomplishments - something normal people take for granted.
