Does anyone else have trouble keeping up their hygeine with SA or any other mental illness? I am depressive type SA so it could be a motivation thing, or part of the depressive symptoms.

Has anyone risen to this challenge, or come up with any neat tricks for staying well groomed despite?
A few years ago my symptoms peaked so that I only managed to bathe every third day. It was such a fight to get to the shower stall and take a shower. Eventually the bad chemicals in my brain lost out, and I regained the ability to keep up my personal hygiene.

Best of luck to you in your struggles!
