I make sure I get up every morning take my shower, get dressed, put on some makeup, do my hair, and anything else I can think of to feel better, and it was starting to work until my son asked me what was going on. He said mom you haven't gotten dolled up in such a long time. Are you sleeping around on dad? That broke my heart, and I just can't get out of this slump again. I'm still trying to take care of myself, but it doesn't seem to help anymore since he said that. All I can do is cry. Please pray for me that I don't slip back to my bad habits, and that I can get through this.

Please don't let one comment send you back to that place. It is so difficult to just get up in the mornings much less have to please the people around you too. Take a few minutes for yourself and make a list-what you want to do and what you need to do. You don't have tackle all of it at once, but make short little goals for yourself and each time you accomplish or tackle one of those goals, cross it off your list. It will make you feel good that you've gotten something done. Make the goals small-like go for a haircut, or clean one bathroom, the kitchen counter, vacuum the living room. Yeah, I mean short little goals.
It will help you to feel good about getting something done and it won't be so much of an effort to do.
You should take a real good inventory of what you are about, your looks, weight, clothing and if you want to do something about (or not) you need to be honest and accept it. Once you accept this, everyone around you will as well, and if they don't--you really won't care because you are comfortable with it-and that is what matters the most, YOU!
Hang in there remember, we're all important, if not to a bunch of people, to ourselves.
Hugs.
