[Miscellaneous] does anyone else feel like they internalize trauma from long standing skin issues?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I know stress can have an effect on your skin. That's not what I mean -I occasionally/sometimes frequently get skin infections. It's basically staph. It's painful and often requires antibiotics. At worst it sometimes requires an incision and packing.To prevent them from happening I have a whole regimen as recommended by my dermatologist and an infectious disease doc (it started as a problem for me years ago whilst backpacking in SE Asia). Obviously it doesn't always work. And it's exhausting to maintain.I know when one is coming. I feel like my whole body and mind tense up. I re-live every uncomfortable moment and I'm thrust into this horrible headspace, fretting over how much fucking money I've spent over the years treating this, getting frustrated that it's back, worrying that this time it will get serious.At the end of the day - it's not life threatening and I'm grateful for that. But I just feel so defeated when it occurs, it's just so triggering.Does anyone else feel this way? For whatever skin condition you're enduring.
