I am female and I do my best to keep up on showering, at least do it 3 times a week or more if needed, but when my depression, ptsd and anxiety symptoms are really getting to me it can make it hard to remember/care or have motivation/energy to do it even when I want to. As for attire I am not working and am on SSI, but if I was working I'd probably have to go get some clothes appropriate for the job....usually I wear tightish jeans(some with patterns) never without my wallet chain, band t-shirts mostly of metal bands, various jackets/sweaters if its cold and I have a patch vest...so yeah I usually look like a metalhead. I don't really wear make up ever, sometimes eye liner but that's it and I just have long hair and don't usually do anything with it except brush it in the morning if I remember. Usually I remember brushing my teeth at least once a day since I smoke cigarettes and if I don't brush my teeth before the first one of the day it tastes kinda gross so admittedly sometimes that is how I remember.

I don't really feel I should change my image just too look like a more normal member of society....though if I am able to start working someday and get off SSI then I'd be fine with having to wear something more professional looking if the job calls for it on the job...but aside from that I'm still going to be rocking the metal t shirts and patch vest(I don't always wear that, but it is one of my main clothing articles just not in the winter).
