Non eczema sufferers will literally NEVER understand.
#it's crazy to me but my whole life I have never met a single person who gets It.#unless they too have eczema#You don't get it to feel fucking hideous.#To live in a world that actively shames anyone who doesn't have porcelain perfect skin#meanwhile your skin is flaking off non stop. it's risen and bright red and furiously itchy.#You don't understand people saying βdon't scratch. have u been scratching??β#but the thing is most of the time you don't even realise you're doing it#or you're fucking waking up at night to your body rabidly scratching itself without you even being conscious.#or when it fucking is on purpose and it feels like such a relief even though as you do it you know you should stop because the pain after#isn't worth it#when you feel yourself lose control.#When you feel like a fucking prisoner CONSTANTLY stuck in your body.#When you want to just fucking cut the skin off to be free from the itch.#When your self esteem is so fucked up because you can't match up to any standard of βniceβ skin cos your skin is all inflamed. dry. and#lacking elasticity#and nothing helps#there's no fucking cure.#and everyone else just lives life without knowing how lucky they are that their skin isn't burning itchy all the time#how lucky they don't constantly feel the urge to scratch themselves till they bleed and scab.#They just don't fuckign get it.
