hi everyone ! i know this might be a little complicated but i have 2a/2b hair . it gets very oily very fast at the roots , dry at the ends , frizzy , is very dull , and dye/bleach damaged .

could anyone recommend a routine to bring out my waves more , repair my hair , and just overall make my hair look better ?

i can not bring myself to do it . i have an EXTREMELY low pain tolerance and if i feel too much pain i will either puke , pass out , or feel like i’m going to both for 30 mins but never do (i get this everytime i get shots, i am even behind on my shots bc i sucky can’t do it) but it’s the worst feeling i’ve ever experienced . i can also make myself vomit at the thought of a lot pain .

but the thing is my eczema is SO severe . like sleepless nights , bawling my eyes out from pain , my whole body is messed . but the feeling i get with pain is my worst nightmare . i’ve always compared it to greening out . and people say dupixent is the most painful shot they have ever had and one of the most painful things they have experienced .

idk what to do at this point because i dont think i could live with severe eczema for the rest of my life . but i also cant stand the thought of willingly putting my self through severe pain one a week for who knows how long .

ik i probably sound stupid i just have extreme anxiety . and need some help with this journey . pls be nice

TL;DR : i have severe eczema and need Dupixent but absolutely can not bring myself to use it .

EDIT: i have the pen

UPDATE: thank u to everyone who made me feel so much better about this . i ended up doing it today ! and i feel a little silly about how much i was over reacting now 😂😂 it barely hurt at all

i’ve been using tacrolimus for 2-3 weeks now 1-2 times a day and at first it worked perfectly and i had not a single eczema spot on me . now i had started to get these dots/bumps only on my arms as far as i’ve noticed . i used to get them sometimes where i would get flair ups . why is it doing this all the sudden ? is my skin too used to it and its not working anymore ?

edit: not related to the bumps but have yall been able to use anything scented after starting tacrolimus ? i rly want to be able to use scented lotion and body wash and all of that but im scared

ok so i started tacrolimus yesterday for my severe eczema , and it is amazing . my eczema is visually like gone after just two uses in one day . but the thing is i am now burning every time i itch somewhere . and it is the next day , i have not put any on today because i was only planning on using during flair ups . but now every time i itch somewhere i get this almost unbearable burning feeling and the burning causes itching and the only thing that just stops it is an ice pack . is this normal ? should i stop using it ?

so i think most if not all of us have experienced the “loosing feelings” thing , so ig im just looking for suggestions on how to manage . for some background i have codependent tendencies and anxious attachment . me and my partner have been tg for over a year now and we have been going through a little rough patch . when we have arguments i get HEAVY break up urges and “maybe we just aren’t meant to be” thoughts and when i have these thoughts it’s very hard for me to get out of my head . so if we have even one argument it’s hard for me to have a good day . but the main “problem” is i have been wanting more alone time when usually i want all my time towards each other . we fall asleep on the phone every night at the same time but lately i have been pushing the time back later and later bc i just don’t want to be on the phone , but i still want to sleep on the phone bc it brings me a lot of comfort (bc of past trauma) . i have also not been wanting to hangout as much bc all we do is sit around and do nothing so i feel like there is no effort . i have kinda eased my mind with the fact i have been working a lot lately and i work in retail so i work with people all day so maybe my social battery is just rly low and need more alone time . but i have also been wanting to hangout with my old friends more (i rarely hangout with friends) . in all i have just been wanting more time apart . does this mean im loosing feelings ? (i just got into therapy so should i just give everything some more time ?)

i’ll try to keep this as short as possible i’m sorry if it’s long . months ago my boyfriends family had bed bugs so we were not aloud to see each other (rightfully so) until they fixed it and it was confirmed that i did not have them . at the time i did not . but now i think i do . for some background , i life with 5+ people . in a pretty neglected household . the house is disguising , filled , roaches . and everyone complains but no one does anything about it . so here’s the problem . the head of my household and every adult in it has said that if we get bed bugs we won’t be able to fix it and we would just have to live with it (pretty much just bc they won’t dedicate time to take care of it) . so what can i do ?? i have a job , friends , a boyfriend , school . am i just supposed to shag inside all the time and never socialize with ppl again ? i can’t move out yet either . if my boyfriends family and ofc anyone’s family finds out i will not be aloud at their home . again rightfully so but someone pls tell me ANYTHING i can do .
