I have type 1 and I have a lot of visible blood vessels on my face.
But what I notice is that my face looks super bloated. It doesn’t help that my face shape is round, but I swear my face looks even bigger and it’s so damaging to my self esteem as it doesn’t match my body at all :(
Anyone else?
Rosacea SUCKS
Not diagnosed with OCD, but the intrusive thoughts are getting very bad and I’m spending at least 12 hours per day on checking and reassurance. A friend with OCD told me I need to tell my psych about it but I keep backing out because my intrusive thoughts are very disturbing and I’m scared my psych won’t understand and will report me to the police.
Because of the fear I have been keeping it in for 7 years. I only told a previous psych once but she looked so concerned so I never spoke about it ever again.
I am rehearsing what to say to my psych when I see him 2 weeks later but I don’t know how to phrase it to make it clear to him I am absolutely disgusted by the thoughts so I know he knows that I’m not that :(
I can’t even say the term out because I feel like it will make it true if I do say it out. But I do feel like a monster. I appreciate any advice.
