My skin!

-
...is shocking.

I moisturise it because it's dry, using the most sensitive moisturiser i can find, but then if i use it for too long (IE. 2 days) it causes spots....

It's a lose/lose situation. I don't want to be dry and wrinkly, but whatever i put on my face, causes massive break-outs and infection.

GRRRRRRR!!!

I have an ongoing battle with breakouts too. At my age! Come'on, gimme a break.

I never used to moisturise but I do now. I use avene anti-redness light (bought on amazon) and it's nice and gentle for me, no outbreaks ever caused by it. Irritating your skin with harsh products causes spot reactions. Copy and paste this address (forgot how to do the linky thing) see if it makes any sense to you too xxxx

Since stopping the facepacks etc and being gentle, following the advice given above I've had far fewer of those nasty lumpies that stay on my face for months on end making me want to hide under a paper bag....touch wood!

I'm not the only one then!? It's just awful... I have worse skin on my face now than when i was a teenager. However, the chest acne has gone (but left a thousand scars).

I will definitely have a look at that website..

Thank you Steph and i hope you're well gorgeous lady.

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

It DID get worse..

...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug...
