I’m like Zombie Mom. I care about my appearance most days but I don’t let it control me.
I try to make sure my clothes don’t have any stains and that my pants aren’t hanging off my ass.

I hate my appearance, I’m so fat! They should hand out free liposuctions to people on Zyprexa!
Nice new icon! @Speedy
I do very little grooming, but when I am going out I will comb my hair. I grab what clothes are nearest to me.
It was about time to get one!
I bought a very comfy long sleeve shirt at Goodwill and that kind of inspired me to trim my beard a bit. I decided to put a reminder on my phone to trim my beard once a week from now on.
I feel more comfortable around people when I am better dressed and groomed, although some days I feel a bit to unsteady to take a shower.
My focus is on mainly looking healthy, I hate looking sick.
That’s funny! I actually didn’t gain more weight on Zyprexa than on Invega. But boy can I eat on all APs. I really need to exercise every day or I’m 100 kg in no time.
Around the house I don’t really care what I’m wearing or if I look haggard. Lol. But when I leave the house I make sure I’m dressed appropriately and smell and look nice.
When I’m at home, I don’t really care too much but I’ve been trying to put a little more effort in like brushing my hair and stuff. I generally hate the way I look and it’s hard to try and look nice. I want to at least look tidy/clean/neat and healthy. My voices also trash my appearance and it’s draining having to tune them out.
I somewhat care but I don’t wear make up everyday.
I like looking and smelling good when out. I stay in my underwear at home. My dog doesn’t mind. Lol.
Make effort look effortless
Well, it is important, weather you think it is or not. Normal people think it is 90% how you present yourself to the community around you, and so shall people with a mental illness, people with a mental challenge should not be deprived of the privilege of showing up with class, with a suit and tie, or with a nice a hat, a good shave, some very good perfume and so on… These are all considered necessary to maintain a social status, if you are stigmatized anyway, you should find your own space to counter back… Very good poll Bowens, thank you for this.
