There have been times where I really looked so crappy I felt like I had to say something running into a friend. Like I had just run from the shower with wet hair, no make up and barely dressed. And I've said, "I'm embarrassed how bad I must look. I ran out looking like this."

When I am depressed and looking crappy because I'm too down to dress and put on make up, I avoid running into people. Actually go out of my way to avoid them.

But it makes me feel so much better to just fix myself up a little, put on some make up, wear something attractive. I really force myself to make the effort.
