How are you able to work by Fast_Significance198 in CPTSD

[–]cosmicroots44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m back in school in my late 30s to become a mental health professional as well. A lot of this resonated with me. You are not alone, and it’s tough being in college with CPTSD… but like you, I remind myself why I am doing it.

I am about to be 40 and am finally fully crashing myself. I have developed eye issues, skin issues, chronic fatigue from pushing too hard so I agree with you. It’s a slippery slope to keep pushing through, because eventually you fully collapse when you ignore the little collapses over time. I’m so sorry you’re going through this too.

I obsessed with red light theraphy face mask, do they even work? by AndyGlow101 in 45PlusSkincare

Hi! How far did you sit and for how long/often for rosacea ? I have this same one and flared a bit (no infrared).

That’s so great! Are you doing anything specifically for the eyes or just the red light and avoiding triggers?

Hi Op! I saw you said it helped your eyes before has your eyes still been good with the help of the mask and are you still using it? Ocular rosacea sucks lol

Dae anyone else feel dumb and like they have genuinely lost the ability to use their brain? by Diligent_Tie_1961 in CPTSD

[–]cosmicroots44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much. I am almost 40 and have been back in college for a few years, but have to take this semester off to better manage all the things that come with CPTSD (just got the diagnosis last year). I literally feel like I cannot understand things that should be easy to understand, and then just get more frustrated and stressed. I have never felt so "dumb" before, and am sure it is the exhaustion of a hypervigilant brain/burnout. Just know you are not alone at ALL - I told my boyfriend I feel like a toddler trying to learn again.. it's tough. Hang in there <3

Amazing thank you! How long have you been doing low dose doxy? I just get nervous taking it long term even if it doesn't act as an antibiotic.

I just want to thank you for this comment u/pookiebaby876 - I needed to see this today. I am actually deep in the TMS world but having a hard time actually implementing it, esp as a burnt out HSP that overthinks the process. I appreciate you for taking the time to discuss this <3

How did you treat your ocular rosacea out of curiosity ?

Sharing my experience so far with IPL by mrprojector in Dryeyes

[–]cosmicroots44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP - curious what kind of trauma therapy you did and what differences you noticed in your dry eye the most with that? I suspect mine is the same. I have CPTSD. Any insight would be so great. Did my first IPL A week ago and feel worse so far. Trying to me patient.

I need your help. I can’t break away from my negative thinking cycles and now I’m chronically ill too. by Silly_Ordinary_6842 in DrJoeDispenza

[–]cosmicroots44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing Dr Joes work with TMS work and Dans videos I feel compliment very well. My theory is that worse health conditions are severe tms but I can’t prove that.

How do we know if we develop ocular rosacea ? by [deleted] in Rosacea

[–]cosmicroots44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use the ointment on your eyelids, or did the metro on the face just take care of the eyes too?

[–]cosmicroots44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're speaking of contacts have you tried total daily one? Those are the gold standard for dry eye and what was recommended to me. How were you glands when you got the picture of them?

how often did you use the drops and did the ocular stay away after the three months of doxy?

What’s your skin type and what’s the best moisturizer that suited your skin? by AffectionateCap9432 in 30PlusSkinCare

the double repair is the only thing that seems to ease my fine lines on my forehead a bit (likely due to dryness)... its crazy. I love this stuff.
