I thought it was great how lively the presentation was and how pregnant it was to describe what and how you have experienced neurodermatitis yourself. You can't leave it out - because most of the time you find out that others don't know because they have experienced it themselves. But you can also go on and on and tire out the audience. And I think the extent of this has been done very well here. It's also more or less "stressful" for everyone, which also brings back memories for each individual. It was very well dosed, so to speak. Being understood and your before and after was the first therapy to rehabilitate hope.
Next, I found it extremely important that nothing is sold here that corresponds to further symptom care. Otherwise I would have switched off immediately. I think the offer of support is great, as long as it is help for self-help. An exchange group would be nice for some people, but it can also backfire, as some people need their illness - unfortunately - I've also seen this with other people with other chronic illnesses. You should keep them away because they are stressful ;)
I have had a positive experience. Yesterday after the webinar I found out where a family member was betraying me and driving a wedge between my child and us parents. I was angry all night that it was more pronounced than I had long suspected. However, the positive experience was explicitly that despite this anger and annoyance and all the mixed feelings that are still working now, I haven't gotten itchy yet and have even "forgotten" to apply cream. I conclude from this that the anger after finding out the truth (if you really wanted to know it) doesn't trigger the stress that causes illness, but not knowing the truth, but feeling that there is something there - as it was with me before - made me itch without end, so that I always didn't want to think about it anymore and felt powerless over it. The person who betrayed me during my worst years of skin disease was someone who showered me with pity on a daily basis. There's no worse way to be kept in a victim position. I moved out of home, the disease remained, but became less and less severe, until I had longer periods of freedom. But a year ago, it came back. Now I know why :) I've taken a break from contact until I've got rid of my anger, worked through it and can remain objective and emotionally stable again. Until then, I won't feel obligated to stay in contact because I am the only one obligated to my health, and that is why it has priority.
Thank you very much, please continue.
PS:I ask you to make sure Kristin knows about my positive experience to give her some joy back too!
