How much do you care about your own appearance? - Poll

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. :joy:

I hate my appearance, I’m so fat! They should hand out free liposuctions to people on Zyprexa!

I do very little grooming, but when I am going out I will comb my hair. I grab what clothes are nearest to me.

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.

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.
