I'm so over everyone else knowing what this is like. He asked me how bad "it hurt, from a scale of 1-10", I said "10", he replies with "well it doesn't look like your skin is on fire, so I think you're wrong"... OMFG. Really??? So I respond with, well do you have an "itch scale? A mental health one? Because all of those apply, this isn't just a 'pain scale' thing."

WHY??? Why does everyone else know better than us?

I just want support, and I feel so done. He has back pain, so now we're comparing my situation to his.

So anyway, just wanted to let you all know, that my eczema is BS, this all in my head, I'm not suffering, this doesn't affect my mental health, I'm allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll good. I'm fine. /s
