Hello,
I'm a 26 M who has severe bipolar disorder. I just spent two years in an extreme depression. This involved going more than 1 yr without social interaction, remaining unemployed, et cetera. Despite being a health-minded person, this depression was so severe that my nutrition, physical activity, hydration, sleep, etc. were all atrocious, plus for a while I was chain-smoking weed. I think skin/hair-wise everything that can result from such th skin/hair-wise has happened: some lost skin elasticity in the face, some hair thinning, oily/dry skin, some acne, et cetera. The fact that I just went two years nearly constantly dehydrated really makes me uneasy about what that means for my skin health long term.
What should I prioritize and/or what are the basics I should tend to to get things back on track? I know this question is very broad a question, but hair and skin care are the missing links in my health knowledge/praxis: even broad answers would be helpful.
Where I stand: it's been ~5 months since the depression ended and I'm back on my vegetable-rich diet, hydration, exercise, good sleep, et cetera. I only take cold showers; I shampoo and condition with herb/aloe-containing stuff without dubious ingredients. My skincare approach is beginner-level: I moisturize w/ the "Everyone" brand's hands/face/body lotion, clean with Dr. Bronner's, and exfoliate a couple times per week with another product from some such brand. I'm way into DIY and herbalism, though, and would love to take those kinds of approaches in lieu of store products when that's beneficial. I have a lot of honey on hand. And my mental health is A+ and taken care of, if anyone was wondering if things are under control.
Thanks in advance to any suggestions you might give. Have a nice day!
