My mom refers to me as “it.”

It’s just supposed to be this funny joke, I suppose. A silly lighthearted nickname. I didn’t think that much of it because I’m so used to it by now, I’m 18, until my boyfriend brought it up and how often it is used even when I’m not around.
I have a handful of nicknames like bit or baby bit (bit stands for bitch), peaches (a nicer way of saying bitch), it and some more.
Idk I guess I don’t realize how much it’s used on a normal basis. But I think when he said that I truly realized these are said more than my name and I think it kind of makes me feel like shit. But I had just pushed it down for so long.

Maybe I’m being super dramatic idk. But anyway just came to that realization.

For reference I’m almost 19 and I’m a woman.

Okay, my skin is so incredibly sensitive to every product ever. It’ll work for a while and then all the sudden it won’t and my skin freaks out. I stopped using serums, I get itchy usually. I use cerve, this was the love of my life until it randomly started drying my skin out so bad I’d be left with huge patches of dryness and it’s just bright red splotches. I’ve tried tretinon, helped but made my skin super dry and I was on the lowest prescription.

But I’ve literally never had pure clear skin, I have hormonal acne and it flares all the time. My scars and honestly so bad and that’s the worst part. I finally decided I want to go on accutane. My dad and my aunt did it and they had great results (besides dryness). But I’m worried that it’ll just come back? I’ve seen so many different things about accutane and hormonal acne.

Does anyone have any personal experience or like anything at all?
