Close Eczema
I have had eczema since I could remember. And it seems to only get worse as I get older. I am often very self-conscious and depressed about having eczema. I also feel very helpless sometimes because I seem to not find a way to cope and treat it effectively. I have been given many powerful steroids that I hope I will be able to stop using one day.
Treatments
- Protopic Working / Worked
- It clears me up but the side effects scare me a bit...i try to use it as a last resort
- Zyrtec Too Soon to Tell
- Just got this prescribed by my dermatologist...we'll see...
- Atarax Somewhat Helpful
- It knocks me out so of course I dont sratch at night...im out like a light! I dont want to get hooked on it...but my dermatologist suggests i take this
- Eucerin Working / Worked
- This keeps my skin so moisturized and soft. It makes it close to impossible to itch cuz my skin is never dry. I put it on 2X a day
Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
I have been pulling my hair since the 8th grade. And i know damn well it is STRESS realted. Now as I grow up, I realize I have all these stress-related things happeneing to me. My body is telling me to CHILL..I really want to stop pulling because I had long, beautiful hair when I was younger. I still have nice hair, but I know it can be healthier.
Open Eating Disorders
I dont think I have an eating disorder, but rather, an obsession with food. Since I was a tween, I went on diets, then overate, then dieted some more...messing up my body, and growing up with a distorted view of food, nutrition, and my body. I have always been a little chubbier, but I never recevied positive ideas about eating, exercising, and dieting. So here I am...trying to figure out moderation...
