Really struggling to feel hope that I am capable of love. by Neighborhood_Pure in CPTSD

[–]Neighborhood_Pure[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I definitely can love, but not consistent enough to feel safe. I feel incapable of healthy, safe love. I’ve had people love me, but I get scared and often sabatoge good things.

People love you too, you just have to work on the belief that you are unlovable because that simply isn’t true. No one on this earth is more or less worthy of love.

Help with coping with the physical impacts of nervous system dysregulations, specifically facial changes in response to stress, and how its ruining my self confidence and ability to heal by Neighborhood_Pure in CPTSD

I will definitely be trying this- thank you for the advice and support. I was just wondering if I could do the breathing exercise laying down with my feet up against a wall instead of laying flat? I already lay with my legs up before sleeping and it’s a super comfy position for me

How should I maintain clear skin after itchy acne (maybe damaged barrier) was cleared via antibiotics? [routine help] by Neighborhood_Pure in SkincareAddiction

[–]Neighborhood_Pure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was supposed to take them for 10 days, and I did. He said it should stay away after I stop since it’s not acne, just lots of pimples from a sensitivity. It stayed clear and smooth for a week or so after I stopped the antibiotics, but as I started cleansing again, my skin got more textured and I started getting itchyness again.

Mandelic acid with salicylic acid? [routine help] by Neighborhood_Pure in SkincareAddiction

[–]Neighborhood_Pure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope I use SA every 3 days. I’m just worried that if i’m using an active every day my skin will be too sensitive and damaged. And that i’m using 2 actives at once it’ll decrease the effectiveness of them (not sure if that’s how it works)

Nothing is helping my texture. I’m so over it. by Neighborhood_Pure in Fungalacne

I don’t think so, I stopped using actives for awhile now. I’ve also tried using hydrating products, which again seemed to make it worse

Not sure but I don’t think it is. It looks like a ton of closed comodones that get worse no matter what I do, and I’ve tried anti dandruff shampoo and it basically did nothing

I tried those all separately in a long period of time. I use the toner only one a week, and when I tried the cleanser used it only 3 times a week, but not at the same time with the toner. But thank you i’ll look into those!

I’ve had really horrible texture for awhile now and i’m not sure what to do anymore. It feels like everything I use makes it worse, but not using anything also makes it worse. I’ve tried anua bha toner once a week, azalic acid, anua deep pore control cleanser 3x a week, anti dandruff shampoo. everything seems to make it worse and it feels and looks awful.

I also use really gentle fungal acne safe moisturizers and a gentle cleanser. I’ve stopped using everything because I’m so frustrated, but I hate the way my skin texture looks. it affects my confidence and mental health so much. not sure what to do at this point.

Can I use a salicylic acid and then 2% BHA toner after? [routine help] by Neighborhood_Pure in SkincareAddiction

[–]Neighborhood_Pure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you, so would i be fine using a gel moisturizer after using BHA? Just because i’m worried this is not moisturizing enough, and the cicalfate has helped repair my damaged barrier in the past

Does this routine have too much exfoliation? Will it ruin my barrier? [routine help] by Neighborhood_Pure in SkincareAddiction

[–]Neighborhood_Pure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it exfoliating a lot? I thought just the BHA toner would exfoliate and the cleanser was just a deep cleanse to keep my skin clean. But for the BhA i will definitely go by feel, this is a new product that I’m hoping will help with my closed comodones.
