Clinically Clueless, I commend you for taking steps to improve your emotional state. We do have something in common. On my worst days, personal hygiene is the last thing on my mind. It's kind of embarrassing, but I believe common among us depression sufferers. I too can go without brushing my teeth, taking a shower, shampooing my hair, getting out of pajamas and putting on other clothes, etc. In fact, if I didn't have a spouse I don't think I would even try to keep up personal appearances.

CC, make sure you keep all your appointments and don't give up. You are only making your emotional situation better. You have a medical professional who values your opinion. That's really important.
