I don't know how much more i can take.

Okay well i know you guys always hear me going on about my eczema, but i just cant take it anymore. I dont care about comments really, i just need to vent. Basically ive had it for like 4 years now as 'bad', and i finally thought it was getting better but now its back and i just can't handle it. I didnt go school on thursday coz it was bad, i didnt go school today coz it was bad.

Im not really sure what to say really, it was REALLY bad a couple years ago, to the point of not wanting to move, but now its at the point i can't actually get ready and go out. I wake up, it feels like crap, hurts to move, i just don't bother. If i do manage to get out, im constantly putting cream on my face, worrying about whether its dry or if people notice. IF it is dry, u can notice people just staring at it, and its so god dam annoying. I just can't get out and it annoys me so much. Most days i just think about ending it, but i think no since i've got so much to live for, but whats the point when i feel like crap.

Then theres the one place i actually feel alright, the pc. I dont have to move loads so it doesn't hurt as much. people can't see me, i dont have to worry how i look, and overall its just a huge distraction so that i can just feel 'normal' and don't have to worry about anything. But ofc, im not allowed to stay on it 24/7, so my life just feels generally crap.

But then i have my good days, i feel fantastic and i dont want them to end, but then the next day its back to being horrible and i dont wanna do much and end up sleeping the entire day (like today, woke up at 4pm).

Thats all that i wanted to say really.

my sister has eczema and it used to be really bad when she was younger. but its got much better over the years and its almost cleared up. the doctors were useless though (which i guess you probably know) as all they did was give her cream, occasionally steriod based cream and thats about it.

Steroids help, but they ****** up my mates finger when he only had a little bit, so im not gonna bother with that.

yeah you shouldn't use them a lot, only when its really bad as it thins the skin (so the doctor says). it was hydrocortisone which worked when required to, but not in large/common doses.

my brother had it bad too but what it was that was making it worse was the food he was eating (different soaps can make it worse) but like every week my mum would take note of what he was eating then they found the problem was chesse and he stoped eating chesse and it went away straight away it wasnt a alergic reaction because he went the doctor and the doctor said it was eczema but like what Diirty said the doctors are useless

Wheat and milk makes mine worse. For 2 years i was eating bran flakes and coconut maroon things.

Its hard to avoid those.
