My skin condition is a subject that I'm very sensitive about so I'm not going to mention what it is called. I've been on so many different antibiotics that I've lost track. The best they ever did was just manage my condition a bit. I was always told they were staph infections but staph is something that was treatable but how come I was dealing with it for so many years with no remedy. I was dx'ed last year by a new dermatologist a skin illness that is life long with really no fully effective cure. I will be going to see another dermatologist soon once I get my health insurance within a couple of weeks.

If it truly is chronic and something I have to deal with my entire life, then I don't know what I'm going to do. I can only handle so much physical and emotional distress. I'm always in physical discomfort and pain. This isn't a main part of my depression but it has escalated it along with my social anxiety. There were many times I've contemplated taking my life. Even though I'm getting help now with my T and psychiatrist, if I don't end up finding any solace or any kind of solution then I might end up finding that taking my life would be a viable alternative again.

Sorry this got a bit off topic lol
