I can see huge links between sensitive personality types and skin issues / inflammatory skin conditions. It’s crazy also that ‘psychogenic itch’ is triggered by the nervous system in response to stress or heightened emotional state. Like yourself, I can probably relate to 80% of the personality traits. I am very sensitive to loud noises, I’m extremely empathetic towards others and always try to help people - to the point where I find myself typing out advice on forums to people regarding issues I feel I can help with, I definitely hang on to arguments for way too long and even when I was a child.. I was a bit distracted all the time / sort of presented traits of ADHD / Hyperactivity so I sometimes got told off by a teacher and I would think about being told off for a really long time to the point where I’d feel like I wanted to cry for ages. I was never naughty, just in my own world staring out of windows or chatting to other people haha. I was never a shy child though - I did a lot of drama / singing / stage but that said I did quit due to anxiety when I was about 19 - becoming very self aware and conscious to perform in front of people. I think I come across as though I take criticism well but in my head I’m like “wow I can’t believe you think that” haha. It’s so funny you said chicken and egg situation because I was preparing to say just that! They generally say that stress / sensitivity can make eczema a vicious cycle because stress causes flare ups but then the flare up causes stress and so on. It’s so hard fo break. I went through TSW starting 2 years ago and now I still have eczema that I’m trying to get rid of… prior to this many years ago I also suffered with a long bout of eczema that eventually went away when I began meditation and generally stopped trying to control everything in my life. I am also very sensitive to caffeine / sugar / stimulants in general and I find my skin behaves better when I am committed to cutting them out. Sorry for the long response x
I would definitely say my life long skin issues with eczema and hives and all these weird rashes I get all over my body had made me become someone who’s got really REALLY low self esteem. To the point that I do not want to bring my misery to others by dating anyone. Although on the surface level I don’t show that thought to ppl. In fact, I love posting about my life and selfies on instagram but always would use filters and not being in bright lights. I don’t like going to social settings even tho I’m so much into that social life but because of my skin I’m super conscious of myself. I was actually a very out there kid but was always conscious of my eczema skin. I do not like it. I wish I can stop feeling this way but my skin just keeps putting me down…but I don’t also want to rely on cortisone creams (cos I stopped it years ago) but am seriously considering going back on them as I have just started taking antihistamines recently.
For sure, eczema on my hands has affected my mental health in a negative way but it's also helped me to become more empathetic. Could you potentially do a video on how eczema affects the quality of your life and how to not let it dictate your life?
It's super tough :( but not letting your self worth be defined by your skin is going to be so valuable for you and make you so strong. It takes a lot of work, but it's worth it
This is such an interesting video. Thanks Ully. I definitely feel my skin gets more itchy and prone to breakouts when i am stressed but whether living with a chronic condition makes you more sensitive is an interesting concept too
Yes agreed.. both are interconnected..I hv skin type like yrs..kindly tell did u use anything during Yr healing period.. and wen it healed then after how much time u started some skin care..and what exact things you use now after being healed... kindly guide..love
Hi there! When my skin was very severe I didn't use anything on it at all. Once it started getting a bit better I gradually incorporated more products but all the while checking in to make sure my skin was ok with it

Face eczema here. Influenced so much on self confident

Wow yes this really resonated with me!
Sounds very interesting, can't wait to watch! I know for a fact dealing with severe skin issues has changed me mentally.
Hopefully for the better! :)
Thank you!!!!

Thanks Nic! The two are definitely interconnected, would be interesting to know exactly how from a scientific perspective ;)
