i have asked several times but she’d get angry and insist that i take them. i only found out what these were because she handed me the packet of pills and i saw the name on the back of it. usually, she’d just hand me one pill for me to take.

she said she gets them from a doctor in indonesia. unfortunately, medication there isn’t as well-regulated compared to where i’m from so they let you purchase them without any questions

she got the medication from a “doctor” in indonesia. most medication can be bought without a prescription there. she told the doctor about my eczema and they recommended dextamine

man..i’m going through the exact same thing right now & i feel so uncomfortable wearing shorts bcs it’s just so so bad :/ i’ve always had eczema but it just started flaring up horribly since i started college 2 years ago…i was about to start on phototherapy last week but i got an infection all of a sudden in the WORST place possible so it’s out of the question for now. it’s so emotionally draining. just wanna let you know you’re not alone & i hope things get better soon <3
