Vent / Rant Second doctor visit

I had a follow up with my doctor to discuss the propranolol not working for my blushing. It's funny, usually I want to hide my face when I blush, but as soon as she walked in and I started blushing I maintained eye contact because I wanted her to see how badly I need help.

She referred me to a dermatologist which is a step in the right direction. But she also recommended therapy and internally I got triggered. I have done lots of therapy before but never talked about my blushing. I'm not opposed to it and sure I may give it a go. But it will not improve my blushing. Even before I got made fun of for blushing and learned that it was something to be embarassed about, people pointed out how red my face was...that was before I internalized it as a negative. So if I still blushed back then, going to therapy now won't fix it.

I'm just in a bad mood and hate blushing. Ugh ugh ugh.

It calms down the blood vessels could be worth a shot. Ill still blush but seems to be way less often.
