A couple things that have helped me.

1) Reminding myself that I work in Advertising
and I’m not saving lives. Yes, we all have stress but grounding yourself in where that stress is coming from can help.
2) if you can, turn off your work notifications in the evenings. I know we are all busy and constantly putting out fires but taking time to turn off and put the phone away helps, even if it’s just an hour or 2. And during work hours, try and limit work notifications on personal devices.

Has anyone on here suffered with scalp psoriasis and had success treating it? I've struggled with it for a few years, and I found that the last few months it has just gotten horrible. My scalp will start flaking the day after I wash it and I can visibly see large flakes in my hair - and I'm sure other people can too. It's getting embarassing and not sure what to do other than medication which I've heard can cause hair loss. I've tried ACV rinses and tea tree oil, but no real results.
