dry and flaky, i feel like wearing makeup while on tret is not okay?

my skin has been really dry and flaky lately and idk im okay with it? im on 0.05% for consistent 2 weeks now. but i feel like wearing makeup while on tret is only making it worse.

i do sandwich method every night.

morning routine:

azelaic
moisturizer
sunscreen
green color corrector (lots of red marks and scars)
light blush
powder

maybe it is better to avoid makeup altogether while my skin is adjusting?

sometimes im physically incapable of functioning normally

i wish i could just let people know and understand just how physically weak you can become when youre faced with a trigger or had to relive a traumatic experience.

it gets to the point where i genuinely cant even go to office work because my body feels completely drained. and i wish i could just say it

i struggle to catch my breath, feel nauseous, everything hurts. my entire system is shutting down.

i still get shaky when opening my messages or sees anything related to what happened.

hope it gets better or idk just be over it

Cold urticaria. Zyrtec doesn’t work anymore?

I used to take antihistamines and they kept my allergies pretty manageable, but lately they barely seem to do anything.

I can’t go swimming anymore because it triggers my hives and I get super red.

I was taken to the ER once because of a really bad reaction plus asthma attack. The doctors kind of dismissed my concerns about my allergies and just gave me steroids through an IV, plus some other meds that I can’t remember. It did help though.

But lately, whenever I’m around my triggers, I get really dizzy and sometimes it feels like my jaw is tightening.

The hives also don’t seem to be going away even after taking 30 mg of Zyrtec.

———
Other than being asthmatic, all of my health tests have come back normal.

Weight: 52 kg
Height: 167 cm

I regularly do cardio. I used to be on birth control, antidepressants, and oral vitamins, but I haven’t taken any of them for about a week now.

I usually get hives when exposed to:
- Cold
- Sweat
- Swimming

doctor’s appointment scheduled for Saturday.

Did any of you move to another city or country just to heal?

What happened to me was deeply traumatic and incredibly painful. I don't really want to get into the details, I just know that I feel like I need a fresh start. Somewhere new. Somewhere that isn't filled with constant reminders of everything that happened.

Just when you think they’re finally getting better, x100 more eventually pop up lol. I’m so tired.

I think the first step to truly healing is taking care of your overall health?

I always get active breakouts whenever I’m stressed, and then I get even more stressed because I have acne. It’s such a frustrating cycle.

treatment:
none. just topicals

fitness help? recovery and trying to be (more) lean

i was vegan during the pandemic since I was always at home and had more control over what I consume. then RTO happened and naging meat-eater po ulit ako.

so for yrs, i had this constant guilt kapag kumakain.

a few months ago, i kind of hit rock bottom because of reasons. developed PTSD and severe anxiety, etc. have a lot of things going on in my head so i spent weeks bedrotting at home… which gave me time to reflect and have more control over what I eat ulit (i also barely had an appetite anyway sooooo)

ngayon po, ive been vegetarian for about a month i think. sometimes unconsciously end up doing OMAD.

i want to get my life back together and start working out again. but I have absolutely no energy at all. im constantly sleepy, and I spend a lot of time thinking about what to eat and what food wontmake me feel terrible afterward.

any help?
im 167 cm and 52 kg, im trying to get down to 50 kg at least. if it matters po.

broke no contact,

And I never got a response.

I'm not bitter. I'm not even sad about it anymore.

If anything, I'm grateful. That silence gave me the clarity I needed. It reminded me exactly who this person is, a fucking asshole and manipulator.
