Missed a chunk of days here, work’s been a mess and I just didn’t have the bandwidth to check in, let alone actually do the routine properly.
Today felt like the first day my hands weren’t shaking from stress, so I figured that was as good a sign as any to start again.
What I did today:
– washed with lukewarm water only, no cleanser, skin’s still too raw for that
– moisturizer right after, while it was still damp
– kept my nails short so I’d stop scratching my neck without noticing, that’s where it shows up worst for me
– a 20-minute walk after dinner instead of sitting with the laptop again
The neck patch is still there, still ‘angry’ looking under the kitchen light, but it didn’t get worse today, which after the week I’ve had counts as a win in my book.
Going to keep it just as simple tomorrow, nothing fancy, just the basics done consistently instead of the on and off thing I’ve been doing lately.
