The morning felt fine, then by 2pm my jaw line started flaking again and it just tanked everything. 3 days into the new routine and already second guessing it. Kept picking at it during a video call today, a habit I thought I’d dropped. Job hunting on top of this is doing nothing for my nerves, sent out a couple more applications and now just staring at my inbox. Picked up my knitting for about 20 minutes tonight, hands busy at least, mind still loud. Went back to my budget spreadsheat too and filled in this week’s numbers, felt like the only thing under control today. Not looking for tips right now, just needed to say the sky feels low and gray today, and my skin agrees with it. In short: overcast, itchy, holding on.

The picking during video calls hit close to home, my hand goes right for my eyebrows the second I look away from the camera and it’s such a hard habit to catch myself doing. My scalp does something similar right before interviews, flares up almost every single time even when the rest of the week’s been calm.

the budget spreadsheet part got me, my husband does that too when his skin flares, one thing he can actually finish. took him about 6 weeks last time before a routine felt normal.

The picking during video calls hit me too, caught myself doing it for 15 minutes yesterday.
