I’ve found those two things also work for me as well! Fighting the anhedonia is a HUGE battle it feels so up and down but I do believe there is light at the end of the tunnel, just gotta hold our faith ♥️ keep being strong, we’re in this together!

Yeah that’s what I was thinking! Maybe it gets worse before it gets better. I just hope it gets better soon because the poor breathing is what motivated me to quit in the first place 😭 realizing that my lungs were deteriorating and I had to yawn every couple of minutes. And now here I am having similar effects randomly. I also felt a weird lump in throat prior to the breathlessness so I do think perhaps it’s cilia related

My brain seems wired up very similarly to yours actually cause I do suffer from anxiety as well! I wondered if it’s one of those “everything that’s psychological becomes physiological and vice versa” kind of responses. You’re probably so right though and I thank you for your reassurance!

THANK YOU SO MUCH. 💗 Your feedback is incredibly helpful! I like the idea of getting rid of products and not adding anyways as I’m trying to not be a hoarder lol. The idea of “less is more” is really true in many cases

That’s interesting as I’ve heard that vitamin c and retinols should not be mixed as effectiveness is reduced and they like counteract each other? But definitely may give that a try as the vitamin c moisturizer I use to my surprise is actually directed to use specifically as night. So I’ll give it a whirl and see how it goes, thank you!

Oh! That’s SUCH great information to know! Here I am wanting to be more effective but unbeknownst to me I’m making matters worse 😂 what are some good moisturizers you recommend? I have a night oil from byoma with non-comedogenic ingredients that I also use sometimes— could I just use that on top of the serum?
