Daily functioning

Bills are paid. I buy food and drink and eat. I wash myself and change my clothes from time to time. My place is a mess. It’s coping but at a very basic level.

I’m coping at a Basic level as well.
The house is a mess and I haven’t showered in more than a week?
Thank goodness I don’t have body odor or I’d be in trouble :smile:

I must say that I’m doing very well, with a lot of help. People cook and clean up after me. People clean my apartment for me every two weeks. People drive me to my appointments. A nurse comes to my apartment to give me my twice monthly AP injections. I get monthly checks from the government. So, I have a lot of support.
I take weekly showers and wash my hair and change my clothes weekly. I wash my face and brush my teeth daily however. So, at least that is an improvement.
I pray, meditate, do yoga, volunteer and practice piano every single day. And all of these practices help my mental status greatly. I’d say that I’m doing wonderfully due to a combination of social supports and my own efforts.
