I have this particular type of eczema on my hands that only occurs on hands & feet. Every medical article about it says about stress being a significant factor in it flaring up & says ‘learn to manage stress’ as a solution. I just want to scream at these writers. I am the definition of stress. Basically everything that is wrong with my body is a stress response. Complex trauma does that to a person. It feels even worse than people who think mental illness can be cured with basic stress management, to be told over & over that basically the only way to manage my eczema, is to just stop being traumatised. I wish. In fact, if I could fix the brain parts of the trauma, I’d take my eczema at its absolute worse, gaping wounds from the blistering, for the rest of my life. So please. Give me a better god damn solution since I can’t fix my brain. I want my hands fixed. Thanks.
