69. What we go through we grow through. (my journey through TSW)

I hid behind filters, a mask, and behind closed doors. The months of April & May were incredibly tough months for me as I navigated something that took me by complete surprise - Topical Steroid Withdrawl. Listen to today’s episode to hear all about how it started, the symptoms I experienced, and how I healed (and am still healing) myself. Sharing this is one of the hardest things I have done. But I know there is a reason I went through this, so sharing it is the least I can do. To recap some of the things I tried that worked for me, see the list below. **and just bc these things worked for me doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for you, but all you can do is try. Be open and be your biggest advocate. WHAT WORKED FOR ME: *Neem oil *black seed oil *vitamin d drops *probiotic yogurt on face *eliminating all anti inflammatory foods for approx *45 days (all grains, gluten, dairy, alcohol, etc) *daily affirmations & visualization (helped with dealing with depressive symptoms) *working with a naturopath
