For me its lack of motivation , anxiety and low self esteem that factors into it .

For example. To have a bath I need gas. To get gas I need to go to the shop . it takes a lot of motivation to go to the shop
Then I need clean clothes to wear if I have a bath . if I forgot to do the washing I can do it now but will it dry in time ?
Then there's those thoughts slipping in " I'm not going out . nobody is going to see me . I don't care what I look like "

I'm not saying I don't bath or tidy up. But I don't do it as much as I would like to because its not always as straight forward as it seems to most people .

Yes if you're seeing people its natural to want to make more effort but if I can't do it then I'm more likely to avoid meeting those people .

But I don't go out of my way to make an effort family or MH workers visit because I don't want them to think I'm doing better than I actually am.
