I know I'm extremely lucky and I don't take that lightly. I'm here to offer help and support to current users or those who have loved ones that may be falling victim to those tiny satan apricot shells.
So Ive had itching no rash for as long as I can remember. I dont remember my life before age 13 really...
Usually my face is what us most itchy. Then my upper arms upper back and chest and sometimes my neck too. The rest of my body gets itchy but not like my face. My face gets SO itchy. I try not to scratch but fuck its hard not to. Its getting worse and Im super itchy when im trying to get to sleep now and its unbearable. Ive tried antihistamines they dont work. Some foods aggravate it in flares but its not consistent. Sometimes a food will cause a flare and other times nothing. I did a skin prick test and the things it said Im allergic to, Im not. Cuz those things dnt cause the intense itching I get.
Itsnot scabies Ive had scabies before. Its not stress. Ive tried diff meds and creams and nothing truly stops tbe itch.
Does anyone have itching no rash??? Wtf is it frm?
The last thing I can think of is a super strict elimination diet. It jist seems like more torture. Anyone have this and get answers??? Im so fucked. Its ruining my life.
Edit 1: Things that make it slightly better: Direct heat like laying in the sun Laying my hand on it. Or puttibg ny face skin to ny arm/top of elbow crook skin. Skin to skin reduces the tingly feeling almost 100% but only qhere tje skin touches. Petting my skin like a cat with the top of my hand Wiping my face w my palm Using a boar bristle brush to scratch the skin Numbing lotion like sarna or menthol (only works sometimes and not for too long even if I apply more Ice packs If I am busy physically doing something movinf arnd like grocery shopping or outside on a walk I can be distracted from it tempoarily but whennI sit still it becomes very noticable
I recently tried fasting for an entire day thinking by the end of the day it would reduce but it got even worse. This is both times I fasted two weeks apart.
Sweating can make it a little worse like esp my scalp will get pretty itchy but im so distracted frm the physical movement and music in ny ears and being outside i jist scratch my scalp and after 15 mins or so its not as noticable.
I use vanicream everything. I use no fragrance, my detergent is the kind w nothing added. Ive even gone a week without ANY soap or detergent or any lotions creams makeup anything and it still itches.
I pick my nose alot cuz my nose is itchy on tbe inside of my nostrils. Having anything inthere drives me insane. Sometimes my lower eyelids itch and also sometimes the inside of my ear c

TLDR; St. Francis has it's first First openly queer princess. Her parents were called into the principal's office after and told she would be kicked out of the school if she displayed any "overtly gay" behavior or talk. In addition, the high school will not allow for a gay-straight alliance club on campus.
Sharing from Emma's parent's FB post:
Please email principal Mendoza and president Rodgers and tell them how you feel about shaming Emma, about shaming and discriminating against all queer SF students. About not allowing a gay straight alliance on campus. About not allowing Emma to be proud of who she is. Not allowing her to display pride and how their antiquated, homophobic and racist practices are damaging the mental health of students they are to care for. About his, and the admins blatant violation of the catechism of the Catholic Church.
“Every sign of unjust discrimination should be avoided.”
Note: during a meeting today Mr Mendoza specifically said he would love to hear from the SF community regarding this matter. Let your voices be heard.

Backstory: I am 14M and I have had a horrible past year and 10 months. I thought high school would be better, but it is 100x worse than I expected. My high school lied and said that there is a program I will be part of where I will be in a room with 15 other kids it will be self directed and I can do what I want a lot of the time there, and there will be clinical therapists there. Well that shit isn't true. Its just the same as middle school. Regular classrooms with 20s of people (who all unlike me have freidns they hang out with all the time), just a teacher, boring class (im not interested in any subjects in school), etc. Now, to make it even fucking worse, for the past 3 weeks I have been having to do assisted math in lunch because of my grade, and I dont even fucking know when i am going to be dropped from that course. The worse thing is they dont even help me with my homework there they just give me problems and I have to solve them. Im so sick of this bullshit. And the thing is that isnt even 1/10th of the worst things that have happened in my life. In 2020 I got in this big fight with my parents, the cops were called came to my house started insulting me, I was in the hospital overnight, came back in the morning. Then isolated myself from everyone except mildly seeing my mother and father for the next few weeks. It changed my life totally. For the next few months I isolated myself and my main interest then was, I know it sounds funny but rappers and rap music. That was my life basically Then I started joining discord servers about it, and that became a huge addiction.I stopped in january then my interest became music in general, and some anime. Then, I kept ruminating about the past, and becoming depressed because ofit. I also forgot to mention, during online school, I didnt go a lot of times so I actually got in legal trobuel because of school truancy. In january/february school opened up for real so I had to go in real school. In april or so, I started getting more close to my parents, especially my mom. In the following months I was super close with her (and also my dad). Then In June, I learned she was a horrible parent. She went on a 6 day trip with her friends to miami and told me to shut up whenever I had a problem, and basically neglected my mental health. Not completely, but then I started getting excited for high school , and then high school fucked me up, I got closer with my dad then after high eschool, and now the person I am close

And they're the only friends who are still around, even those relationships are strained.
I struggle to form bonds with people and maintain any connection. Does it require constant daily communication? Am i being aloof and offish? If i give more of myself I feel vulnerable and desperate.
I feel I'm being myself and real enough, and I'm actually completely happy on my own. But i want to cut all my social interactions short.
Any advice is appreciated.
