Help! I’ve aged 5 years in a month!

[Anonymous]

I experienced some mild trauma (comparatively speaking) a month ago. I’m doing better now, but I can’t believe how much I’ve aged in this month. I hardly recognize myself.

My skin is dry and lackluster, my eyes look tired; no matter what I do I can’t brighten them. And I just don’t look myself. I’ve tried tweaking my makeup, no luck. I got some new moisturizer and a super light peel when I was at the dermatologist for an unrelated issue, no change. I got a haircut, nothing new just cleaned up, still nothing.

It’s not a good time for Botox or other things like that, unfortunately, nor do I think I need THAT. I don’t know what I need. It all could just be coincidentally related to the change in weather, dryer air, heat on in places, etc.

What can u do to brighten up my appearance?

Sleep as much as you can. Get some exercise. And drink some green juice.

Can you sit on a beach chair with a good book and a strong drink.

Are you breastfeeding?

lol, drinking water does not heal trauma or the incipient decline of looks that accompanies it.

You need complete bloodwork to check whether you're not anemic, or not hypothyroid, OP.

If it all checks out, try to get quality sleep, eat clean and take a multi-vitamin. At least take vit D, we all lack vit D in the northern hemisphere, unless you're outside for hours every day.

Nope, just not too sweet.

Sleep, get sunlight, eat veggies and protein, exercise.

How old are you? Maybe up tofu and other mildly estrogenic foods if you’re in perimenopause.

Sleep, sleep, water, sleep, exercise, fresh air, sleep.

I hope you are mentally in a better place, OP.

Try going to bed after dinner every night for a week. Get twelve hours of sleep for several days in a row. It is like a miracle cure.
