Budget app open, scalp no better

Scalp’s been flaking behind my ears all day, worse than usual. Opened my budget spreadsheet tonight for the first time in ages and saw I’ve dropped $60 on shampoos and creams since starting all this, and it’s still not any better. Job hunting on top of it doesn’t help, sitting in interviews wondering if anyone’s noticing the flakes on my collar. Just a tired night, that’s all.

    ugh the behind-ears flaking is the worst, spent close to $50 myself before job interviews too

  • FreshFern09.23

    tracked mine too, $65 in and no change here

  • SkinHarmony09.23

    same here, seeing that total just stings

    the interview part really gets me, sitting there wondering if anyone’s clocking the flakes on your collar sounds exhausting on top of everything else you’re already juggling. my scalp does the same stress flare right before interviews, calms down eventually but never exactly when I need it to.

    same boat, spent close to $80 over 3 months here and it barely moved the needle. interviews on top of that flare sounds rough

    opening a budget spreadsheet and doing insurance math in the same week is a special kind of rough, I’ve been elbow deep in old policies myself this month comparing premiums and deductibles and it’s already draining before the skin stuff even gets added on top of it.

    that last line hit me, sometimes it really is just a tired night and that’s allowed to be enough. hope tomorrow’s interview goes okay regardless of the collar thing.
