What is your most difficult daily task with Parkinson's disease?

The most frustrating difficult task for me is getting dressed... it is difficult, but not the most difficult thing to do, I assume, but it is by far the most frustrating because of the difficulty it presents and the time it consumers.

It is frustrating also because how do you tell people that you are having trouble getting dressed.

When I know I need to be somewhere by a certain time, I make sure to give me sufficient time, more than needed, to get ready because getting dressed is not only a physical battle for me, but also a mental battle. I have to talk to myself sometimes - outloud or in my head - to keep going and not give up. Does anyone else do this?

I do wear big jackets a lot because they are easy to get on and a zipper is easier for me than buttoning up a whole shirt, even though zipping is not easy at all times and requires patience. I also enjoy using shoes that are velcro so I do not have to tie laces. I do not always wear them - depending on the event or reason I am going out - but using velcro gives me a better chance of getting ready without much or any assistance.

Oof for me too, dressing is a nightmare. Zippers are great, I just need help putting them together first, I can zip them up fine myself but getting the little end into the zip is hard! And forget tying shoes! I wear shoes that I can slip on, I haven't been able to bring myself to go for the velcro yet.
