During my topical steroid withdrawal, I knew I was just existing. I allowed myself to feel sorry, depressed, isolate myself, and discouraged. But that was OK, because I had to really emotionally hit rock bottom before I realized that I wanted to live. Even though my body felt like crap, I made sure to find a way for me to live. I put my big girl panties on, wore the cotton gloves on my hands because that’s where I’ve always had my eczema. And I was able to wear long sleeve, scarves and long pants to hide the other outbreaks that came out during my withdrawal. I made time to start meeting up with my friends again. I made up my mind that I didn’t care what people thought of me when I wore those Michael Jackson gloves. And I actually started to live life again. And when I did it just seemed like my recovery started to go faster. I started to actually find solutions so that I know I could help people like me and you get through this and not be alone. ❤️ • • • #Eliminationdiet #healthy #eczema #eczemarecovery #coachloralin #nutritionofbeauty #tsw #topicalsteroidwithdrawel #rrs #redskinsyndrome #eczemarelief #steroidfree #eczemaproblems #skinproblems #eczemahealthcoach (at San Pedro, California)
