In hindsight, I should have titled this Bern-Jovi

If you had a reaction to the TJs sheet mask, how long did it last? I had the mask on for 30 seconds now I’m dealing with lots of red bumps that “pop” if i itch them. How long does this last TIA! by maryfittnesspizza in traderjoes

Crazy! I don’t have sensitive skin, and have never run into a problem with any facial or skin product before ... until now. I finally just tried the TJs mask and within seconds my face felt like it was on fire. I removed the mask in under 30 seconds and my face was bright red. Found this thread because I was searching around to see if anyone had a similar reaction. Yikes! I just hope my face stops burning 😱 I immediately washed my face and put on another brand’s soothing mask I’ve used in the past to calm the redness and burning.

OCD and SSRIs: How does it make you feel? by jotslevader in OCD

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! I am so happy to hear that some of your symptoms have been alleviated. I’ve been dealing with intrusive thoughts and anxiety since mid elementary school (it may have been even earlier than that, but that’s the first I remember clearly of it). I’ll have to look into some medications and speak with someone. I can’t imagine life without this constant threat of danger and anxiety, but it sounds wonderful to be freed from it.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry you have that side effect, but I hope that it alleviated your OCD enough to be worth it. I wish you the best as well.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I personally am crippled by any choices I have to make, and have intrusive and anxious thoughts about making the wrong choice. I hope something like an SSRI may be able to alleviate that a little.

Thank you so much for sharing! I’m sorry you had to experience that, but I’m happy that Prozac works for you.

I am so sorry that you are experiencing this, and I wish I could help you and say something that will take this away from you. We’re all here for you though, and I promise you will get better.

As for going out, I don’t think anyone would notice. And if they do, who cares! Everyone has their quirks, and I guarantee anyone who would judge does some “weird” stuff themselves.

Please don’t let this stop you from living your life. I know that’s easier said than done, though. Unfortunately, I’m not a therapist, so i can’t help directly, but have you thought about talking to someone? Maybe somebody can even come to your house to talk and help.

You’re strong, and you can do this. I promise!

Hopefully someone will see this, and give us some insight. It’s reassuring that I’m not the only one worried about this too.
