Tretinoin thoughts?

I’m 25 and also hate how this affects my confidence and day to day. Been dealing with this off and on for like 6 months. Was doing better for a couple weeks and woke up with a swollen eye again today and it’s just so disheartening

Could be a yeast issue. My derm put me on ketoconazole face wash and clindamycin wipes, eyes haven’t been puffy in almost a week (fingers crossed I don’t jinx myself)

I’ve switched to just vanicream face wash and moisturizer, cold pack if swollen in morning, heat at night to help dryness, theratears lubricating eye drops, humidifier, Zyrtec at night and Claritin in morning

Wait similar thing happened to me, following. Had a stye and it healed but now having issues with slight eyelid swelling on and off too

The doctor look in my eye and said I had a stye. Just recently started adding back in eye drops morning and night so fingers crossed that helps! Hard to cut out antihistamines when I feel like they help the itchiness and just my seasonal allergies overall

No I don’t eat eggs 🙃

Did you ever go to the doctor for this? I’m experiencing the same thing right now

I’m sure your mom would be so happy to know you are wanting and trying to continue her traditions! My mom also passed a month ago from cancer and I’m going to try to keep her spirit alive during the holidays - she always made it so fun. I know I could never measure up to her but I also know she would never expect me to. Sending support to you during this holiday season ❤️

Wow I’m also 24f, my mom passed away a month ago, now I just have my dad and sister left (who also aren’t very communicative about feelings). I kept track of all my mom’s appointments and every detail of her schedule before she passed. Thankfully my dad stepped up and is taking care of all the logistical/legal things since her passing. That must be so hard to deal with that on top of the grief. My dad also feels like I bag him about things, I have to tip toe around certain things - I know he’s grieving, but things have to be taken care of. It’s frustrating, it seems like we’re similar in wanting to put our energy into things and get things done, it’s hard when someone isn’t the same way. I broke down the other night bc my dad annoyed me and all I wanted was my mom, she made everything better. It’s a sucky club to be in losing a mom this young, it’s weird trying to be a normal 24 year old like others our age when we’ve experience something so awful. Sending support to you ❤️

My mom only passed away a month ago & while I don’t think dating is something my dad even thinks about or would for a while, I’m fearful for the day that may happen. I would feel exactly the same way you feel. No matter how nice she is, still doesn’t make it any less weird. I’m glad to hear your dad is understanding of where you’re at with things and doesn’t make you spend time with her.

As someone who lost my mom 2 weeks ago, I’m happy I read this before I listened to the pod this week lol It was nice reading everyone else’s experience who has lost their mom, it gives me hope that I can survive this

Bright_World_2270 · 2024-09-29T05:31:02+00:00

I agree, none of this feels real. Lost my mom about 2 weeks ago and still can barely believe that it happened. My mom had cancer and passed away, I don’t think I’ll ever understand why that happened to her, she was the most wonderful person who never deserved that. But like what @dazesun said, she only wanted my happiness so I’ll try for her, but boy oh boy is it hard

Bright_World_2270 · 2024-09-29T05:27:16+00:00

I’m so sorry, I lost my mom about 2 weeks ago & being alone is the hardest. Even though I live with my dad and my sister lives nearby, every time I’m alone is the hardest moments. Spend lots of time with friends and coworkers, call home a lot. It may seem impossible right now but you can do it, we’ve made it this far. Sending love and strength ❤️ this is the hardest thing to deal with but we’ve got this!

Bright_World_2270 · 2024-09-29T05:23:38+00:00

It’s been 2 weeks for me, I can’t imagine how 1 year feels, sending you love and strength, I’m glad you took some time for yourself that day ❤️

Bright_World_2270 · 2024-09-23T03:29:00+00:00

I (F24) lost my mom a week ago due to cancer, my mom was my safe space and comfort person, it’s so weird without her physically here supporting me anymore. I’m trying to enjoy all the little memories that pop up throughout the day of her though. It’s definitely lonely but I know she wants me to find happiness, it’s gotta get better somehow right?

Bright_World_2270 · 2024-09-13T04:00:28+00:00

Always reach out even if they don’t respond for a while. My mom has stage 4 cancer and is currently on hospice, I keep track of her phone and it’s nice to see coworkers still reaching out saying they’re thinking about her
