Hygiene
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is it normal for suffering from depression and anxiety disorder to not have much interest in their hygiene? I used to be pedantic about my hygiene but slowly but surely getting a point where I don't give a damn anymore. Is this normal?

Small victories, just keep adding to them - but yes, I have the same issues - it just does not seem as important at times...

Just do the best you can. I know it is easier said than done; I just take it one day at a time. I consider it a victory that I give my daughter a bath daily.

It was very difficult for me to care about hygiene myself mostly because everything feels so pointless so I thought "why bother".
