Re: A letter to you all, and myself. I am ashamed.

Hi there,

I feel your pain also. I've had 6 years of EC, its been the biggest anchor on my life and for a long time I couldn't cope mentally with the anxiety its causes. About 2 years ago I got to breaking point. I was 24 and all i wanted in the world was to be cured of this illness.

I gave up smoking after 10 years, full health diet, exercise. I stopped letting E.C anchor me down and through healthy eating and exercise I increase my mental strength and ability to deal with E.C I improved my life on-top of it. You can't let it defeat you.

Find methods that work for you in terms of treatment, write them down and when you started them, monitor your improvements, figure out what is helping and hindering in terms of food. Cut that bullshit out.

At the moment I use:

Aquaphor all day
Donovex in the Morning/Evening (This has been working for me and definitely reduces the daily peeling)
Probiotics
L-Lysine
Digestive Enzymes


I've never been addicted to food but i have to cigarettes and if i can give you any advice in regards to controlling addiction, it's to take small steps every day, no steps backwards, no f**king weakness. set daily goals and just f**king meet them. Don't do stupid things like set 6.00 am wake ups to go the the gym on the 1st day. Cut back gradually, 5 minute walk a day, 200 less calories. Write everything down and make yourself accountable for your actions.

You have the perfect opportunity this new year to start with a fresh mentality - No f**king weakness!

Good luck :)
