Default Does anyone have trouble dressing themselves?

Hi Guys,
Hope you are all having a good day. I am just wondering if any of you have trouble bathing, washing hair, dressing, putting on makeup, hair brushing, teeth brushing, basically all grooming? Also, does anyone else have trouble using a fork? I am so messy when eating now it is embarrassing. Maybe it is due to eye problems but I seem to have trouble getting the fork from plate to my mouth. Also just holding the fork is difficult. Same with toothbrush etc.
Am I the only one? I used to be such a stylish dresser. Now I have a hard time putting an outfit together. It takes all the brain power I have and leaves me exhausted.
