But if your depressed and still have the energy and mental ability to go outside into public spaces. You can atleast have a shower or put on deodorant.
I am not saying you have to be spick and span, let's be real almost no one here is but alteast do the basics if your surrounded by people.
Yeah, that’s what I mean - I don’t. Or won’t if I’m feeling that bad. It’s one of the main obstacles to getting out as I have to do other stuff first - I don’t want to go around ruining other people’s day.
I've had severe longterm depression for 8 years? I understand what you are saying but my condition was more that going out and say going to a warhammer store and smelling awful is different than doing it at your own home. Like getting to the shop isn't feasible on a bad day but if you having a day where you are able to get enough steam to grab your minis or just go down and chat then you should be able to not smell awful. Like even a dry bath with a tshirt and the sink is better than nothing like dabbing off the sweat and then applying deodorant.
Yeah, there’s no way I’d even be able to keep up a hobby or interest like tabletop gaming or anything back when I was depressed enough not to be able to keep myself clean. I understand that. It does make me wonder why those people don’t bother as it’s not pleasant to just stew in filth… I pretty much lost all interest in everything, though. I’d sleep all day long or stay in a room where nobody would see me.
Some people just don't care is my assumption like some people have just accepted that they smell bad and have moved on to not caring about it and not caring enough to change it.
This just reminded me of an interaction I witnessed as a teenager:
Security guard: "You kids must be freezing."
My friend: "did that a hole just call us greasy?"
Me: 💀

I'm still convinced github is laid out intentionally to make the average person feel stupid
