| Author | Topic: Stress induced acne |
| rospy007 12-09-2002 09:23 AM | This thread has been taken from another thread: I'v only been on the diet for 12 days maybe that is not enough time for me. I also seem to break out when I'm under stress. I think I read somewhere that stress can cause acne is there any thing you can do for stress related acne |
| Wai 12-13-2002 06:30 AM | Yes, stress can certainly cause acne. One of the hormones that is secreted when you are stressed, is cortisol. Cortisol transforms strored energy and breaks down large protein molecules into available energy. As a result of breaking down large protein molecules in lots of small protein molecules (which can be converted into available energy), these small protein molecules will atract more water, causing water retention, which promotes acne. (a few small protein molecules attract more water than one large protein molecule) To eliminate stress induced acne, you need to eliminate that what causes your stress. Is it your husband, or your kids? Then you need to adjust 'the house rules' to such an extend, that they cause you less stress. You can also start meditating, to better cope with stress, or even being able to prevent it. |
| rospy007 12-14-2002 11:45 PM | Thank you so much for the time you take to answer my questions. ![[Wink]](../wink.gif) I'm afraid my stress is not caused by lack of house rules and I would do almost any thing to be able to cope with it. So after much thinking I'm going to ask you a question that does not concern acne. I would greatly appreciate any advice from you or any body else. When my daughter katherine was 2 years old she started having seizures. We took her to the docters and they told me she had some irregular brain waves and needed to be put on drugs, after reading the side effects I said no thank you. She only has them when she goes to sleep and she does't have them every night some times she goes months before having one. I'v tried doing searches on the internet and the only thing I found out is she has what they call sleep seizures and it's a sleep disorder, they all said to take drugs. I could find no where on what causes them? why only once in a while? and if your body can heal itself can it correct irregular brain waves? ![[Confused]](../confused.gif) I would love to know the answers to these questions. I might be able to sleep soundly myself and not be listening for her and then mabe my acne would go away. Input from any body would be greatly appreciated. Emily |
| RRM 12-16-2002 02:30 PM | Yes, that irregular / disturbed sleep pattern of yours likely causes acne; much of the skin-cleaning process is done when you are a sleep, and is impaired if your sleep is not perfect. Unfortunately, we cannot help you with your daughter. I'm sorry, but we have no clue whatsoever on that subject. I've read somewhere that irregular brain waves may indicate very high intelligence. (I wouldn't want to ruin that with drugs) Can you deal with the seizures, and are they in any way harmful to your daughter? RRM |
| rospy007 12-16-2002 04:10 PM | quote:If thats the case I would rather she have less intelligence.She has never taken drugs though I didn't like the side affects. quote:I try to deal with them and I can keep my outward appearance looking calm, but I feel a lot of turmoil inside, and my acne is worse then usual for about three weeks after she has one.She don't talk clearly for about an hour after a seizure but they don't seem to be harmful to her. She seems like a vary normal 7 year old. She gets straight A's in school, wants to be an artist and can draw better then I can.But it still hurts me when she has one. |
| lyn 12-18-2002 09:30 PM | rospy007, I have a question, I've posted it here. |
| Wai 12-19-2002 06:30 AM | quote:Psychic and/or high intelligent kids always have unusual brain patterns. It is not something for you to like or dislike, but what she is, and thus for you to accept as that is her. You should love her for what she is, not what she should be in the eyes of society / drs. She is young, and therefore needs protection. Drugs will ruin her capacities, and thus part of her personality, her being. quote:That is what I suspected. She does this without taking drugs, which should tell you something. It is great that she wants to be an artist, because it means that she not oppresed in her feelings, which means that the seizures do not oppress her being. If there is something you don't understand (what causes the seizures / different brain waves), try to learn from all other things that you can interpret: her creativity, her inttelectual performance, her feelings about life. Try to learn from her, because though she is still very young and has learned so little, she does respond to what she experiences, and this response tells you A LOT. The signs tell you that she is on the right path. All you need to learn, is to deal with her special personality, and her seizures. quote:Please try to disconnect these two aspects. Try to avoid to mingle them in any way; to separate them clearly, at all times. One aspect is that you need to focus on how she experiences the seizures, and how you can make these experiences, and the processing of them, the least unpleasant. The most important aspect in this, is that she feels that you accept and lover her no matter what. That it is okay, always. That SHE is okay. That she is perfect the way she is; that nothing is WRONG with her. Try to focus on the positive aspects of being not normal; that she is SPECIAL in GOOD ways only. A completely different aspect, is how YOU deal with it. How can you 'just let it be', in the sense that it doesn't affect you too much. I think that is best possible when you know that you are doing the best you can. And once you have learned how she feels, and how you can help her best by dealing with these seizures optimally, THEN you will be able to accept everything that happens, and THEN you wount be stressed by it too much anymore. So, you can help yourself, by helping her first. So, first focus on her, and then your situation will improve automatically. You cannot do it the other way around anyway, because you are a woman, programmed on CARING; always first wanting to make sure that she is doing okay. |
| bwarijolivette 12-19-2002 08:14 AM | Hi, With regard to your daughter's seizures, please contact the Institutes for Human Potential. You may visit their website, iahp.org, and read information regarding seizures. Important issues that you should remember, and document during her seizures are as follows: Time Length of seizure, Particulars of the day (such as food eaten, stress, etc) I wish you the best of luck. This is an excellent world renowned organization. The founder is Glen Doman. |
