This week just wore me down.
Tuesday I had a second interview and couldn’t stop scratching my hands the night before. Ended up awake until around 1am!
Baked a loaf Wednesday morning just to keep my hands busy instead of scratching (it actually worked, for like an hour). Then back to checking my knuckles every few minutes.
Been dealing with this for over a decade and I still can’t get used to it flaring right when I need to look normal in front of people. Might just be bad timing, but it feels personal every time.
Sleep’s been sliding later too, closer to 2am instead of midnight most nights. Not sure anymore which one’s causing which, the itching or the overthinking about job stuff.
Nothing’s actually worse than before overall. Just tired, a little raw under the skin, and kind of over having a rough week for no clear reason.
