For dryness I’ve been using Eczema Honey Original Soothing Cream. I purchased it for eczema, didn’t help for that had to use a RX steroid cream. But this cream has been very helpful to maintain moisture around my eyes, it’s prevented flare ups and extreme dryness. I use it around my eyes right after shower/washing face while face is still moist. It’s a bit sticky, but it’s the best I can find for now. Look forward to hearing what other recommendations come up.

Do you know why you have darkness and dryness? Is it because lack of sleep?

Hello! I sent a pm

I suffer with very dark under eyes and feel like I’ve literally tried everything topical. Even bruise cream because I’ve heard it could be blood pooling around the eyes making it dark. It’s not an issue with sleep for me because I typically have a reasonable sleeping schedule. I’ve never been able to find something that actually works for dark circles.

However I just had tooth surgery and was told for the first night I needed to sleep elevated. I typically sleep on one pillow, sometimes no pillow at all because it feels better for my back. But since the surgery a couple of days ago I’ve been sleeping on 2 and sometimes 3 pillows. And I feel like I’ve noticed a difference! Not super drastic, but noticeable and I even asked family members. Wondering if it is a blood pooling thing and sleeping elevated helps the blood to circulate more? …anyway, this won’t help with the dryness but wanted to share this aha moment for the dark circles. Let me know if you try it and if it helps!

I am curious about the impact it has on the work/life balance as well as the mental health, after several years of doing the same position in different companies.

After 3 years, the therapist disclosed that she’s in the program. I had wondered often about the source of her knowledge of the steps. Still I would’ve preferred her to remain anonymous in this regard. Now I keep wondering about whether I’ll see her at a meeting and what her story is. So odd. So self centered of me.
