This kind of thing has happened to me during breakthru depressions. The drive thru and late night clerks see me, with my coat buttoned up
to they cannot see how dirty my clothes are. Hats are required.This step is important, it means you are getting better ! Reward youself for it and feel glad about it. I've been there and it can get better.
Keep in touch.James
