I ALMOST LOST MYSELF TRYING TO HOLD ON TO SOMEONE ELSE.
These photos are from one of the most devastating flare-ups of my life.
If this makes you uncomfortable… imagine living inside it. Waking up in pain. Not recognizing your reflection. Burning skin. Endless itching. Sleepless nights. Crying in silence.
That was my reality.
People saw eczema. I was living a collapse no one could see.
Every morning I asked: “Why is my body attacking me?”
I blamed food. My environment. My genetics. I searched for another cure, another detox, another answer.
But I wasn’t asking the real question:
What was my body trying to protect me from?
Looking back, I see what I couldn’t see then.
I became deeply attached to someone who, in my experience, brought chaos into my life. I ignored every signal my intuition was screaming:
Leave.
I stayed anyway. I chose them over myself.
And slowly… I disappeared.
My skin got worse. My nervous system never settled. My joy faded. My energy collapsed. I felt disconnected from myself and from life.
And the hardest truth?
When I was giving everything…
they weren’t even really there for me.
Not the way I was there.
Not the way I needed.
Not the way I thought they were.
I was pouring into something I was carrying alone.
At the time, I couldn’t see it.
Now I can.
I don’t believe my body was betraying me.
I believe it was begging me to come back to myself.
The moment I walked away… something shifted.
Yes, I changed my food. Yes, I detoxed. But the real healing was this:
I stopped abandoning myself.
I released the guilt, fear, attachment, and people-pleasing that kept me stuck.
That was the real detox.
Never abandon yourself to keep someone else.
Sometimes healing isn’t about doing more.
It’s about tolerating less.
I don’t share this for sympathy.
I share it because someone is still ignoring the same voice I ignored.
If your body is screaming… it may not be betrayal.
It may be protection.
These scars didn’t break me.
They woke me up.
And I will never abandon myself again.
❤️ Choose yourself before your body forces you to.
