Lately I’ve found myself likening eczema to self-harming, but really there’s a fundamental difference – I think… In that self-harming folk are in a bad state mentally when they choose to self-harm, whereas us #eczema folk harm ourselves after spending hours resisting and not wanting to give in to the terrific urge to scratch, and then having to bloody well do so! Causing momentary ecstasy followed mostly by pain and wounds. As I’ve just this minute experienced the horrificness of such an episode, leaving me feeling sore and pissed off that I gave in to the draw, I thought I’d get into bed l, covered in cream and cotton pjs, and write about it 😁. Sorry about the swearing ☹️
