I hate having eczema, jt makes my life so much worse and ruins my confidence. Currently in my school bathroom crying to myself wishing I had a normal face.

I love my life soooo much.

TW: VENT, SELF-HARM, SKIN ILLNESS

And now I will explain my story.

When I was a teenager, I suffered from self-harm (I could beat myself and cut myself). I couldn't get off it because of the tension, stress, and loneliness.

But I've been clean for 3-4 years now and I'm not addicted to SH.

In addition, I have atopic dermatitis, which has progressed terribly from the middle of the year to the present day. This disease is associated with stress, and I have frequent anxiety. So that's why it got back.

So what am I talking about? When I was a teenager, I was very weak, I was very emotional (in a bad way), and my outlet was to hurt myself. Now that I'm free of this, I'm faced with the fact that my anxiety hasn't gone away, it's just that now I'm overcoming a desire to do something bad to myself. My eternal relief of worries turns into the development of dermatitis.

I'm okay now. I'm being treated for atopic dermatitis. It's just that sometimes I involuntarily take myself back to the past... and it makes me feel better who I am now

this is a disability i hve suffered with but im so thankful to have rep and even a flag that shows the struggle that people like myself who suffer this illness go through <3

Happy Disability Pride Month!

I created a flag for Hidradenitis Suppurativa

HS is a chronic skin inflammatory condition also known as acne inversus.

This condition causes lesions, along with deep seated nodules and abcesses, draining tracts and fibrotic scars.

These sores can occur where skin rubs together(or places rich in apocrine gland) areas such as the groin, armpits, buttocks, breasts( for AFABs) and in the inner thighs. However they can really occur almost anywhere.

Because of the associated pain, scarring, odor, sensitive locations, drainage( mainly pVss and bl00d) this chronic illness can negatively impact your mental health.

I wanted to create a flag to represent HS for pride month because I too struggle with it and I wanted to show support <3. It is not a very fun condition to deal with by any means.

I made different variations of the flag

Plain one with just the colored stripes

Stripes with the HS ribbon and Hidden disability sunflower

Stripes with HS ribbon

Stripes with Hidden disability sunflower

I also included the PNGs of the Purple Ribbon (which is used to signify HS awareness amongst other conditions) and the Sunflower which indicates disabilities which are hidden. For Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a condition that often goes unnoticed or unseen, because the lesions/boils often occur in places on the body that people (for good reason) don’t usually see.

Blue: for the toll that HS takes on mental health

Purple: referencing the Purple ribbon

Red: referencing the physical problems of this conditions : the sores, how mobility and daily activities are effected

White: the color that references to hidden disabilities

Black: referencing the social/ intimate isolation that can arise from this condition

I hope you enjoy! And happy Disability pride month!
