@ctrl.skin: Sorry for the long video (it’s been a while) Whilst I’m so grateful for where my skin is at in comparison to this time last year 🍅, I can’t help but feel depressed. I don’t want to use this space to complain, but I just wanted to share where I’m at right now. Everytime I try and live a little more, my skin ends up suffering. The damage that I’ve caused to my skin over two decades of applying steroid creams runs deep. The physical side to the illness is still very much present in my day to day, but I’m finding the mental side of the illness has been showing up a lot more lately. Sometimes it feels like I might just be posting my highlight reel here & it’s only because I’m posting when I have the energy. But I thought it was equally as important to share how I’m feeling now. Things are hard right now, but I’ve got a plan and I’ve got my support system. For those of you who are also feeling the weight of your chronic health issue, I hope you’re managing okay. I know with time we’ll get through this 💙 #topicalsteroidwithdrawal #tsw #ctrlskin #HealingJourney #healing

Been following you for ~3 years and I am always in awe about your insane mental strength. Could not imagine being as strong in your position, but you inspire me to be more positive and dedicated.

Don’t forget how far you’ve come. You’re looking incredible and how you feel inside will match the outside improvements in time

Definitely heat/sweat messes with it. Took me 2 years to get over my TSW, luckily for me it was just hands face and neck that went crazy. I feel so hard for you dude

I have a different chronic illness with years long recovery and was crying yesterday about the same things. it's hard to feel like yourself when you can't do anything without feeling exhausted!!!

Thank you for sharing. I have a chronic illness as well and every time I try to live a little, I get more ill. It's exhausting mentally and physically. It helps to know I'm not alone

One thing I’ve noticed while getting better, is that if something causes a flare e.g illness, infection or irritant, these become more defined from the ‘normal’ periods. Sounds like youre
