AmyP Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 so many things are happening at the minute it's just crazy... me and bf have got a house sorted we're moving in at the end of next month. it's so lovely, as soon as we walked in i just loved it we've seen some really horrible places and for only a tiny bit extra we've found a great place which should be worth a lot more than we'll be paying! job training is going fine, am getting on with my portfolio and continuously looking forward to starting work i know it might be a struggle at times, but it's something i really want to do and i'm going to talk to my keyworker to see what support i can get if it does get hard. i went to a clinic today to see about getting treatment for my scars. i've reached a point where i don't want them anymore, so am going to do everything i can to minimize them. the woman was lovely, really kind and caring but not patronizing. she said she would see what she could do and look into treatment. when i got back she rang to say she has spoken to a plastic surgeon she used to work with and he said he will see me free of charge to give me advice on what options there are so hopefully i can at least get something done to minimize them a bit, even if they don't go away completely. a few days ago i broke down to my bf about how much it bothered me that he was doing nothing to help look for a house. i was looking during every bit of free time i had organizing viewings in between work training, an he was doing nothing despite the fact he's going on holiday soon and has plenty of free time. he also did nothing of his own accord, i had to tell him to do even basic things over and over that i really shouldn't have to be saying, like ringing about money and applying for more hours at work. he completely took in what i said and apologized, an since then he's a lot more involved in things, he looked for houses and applied for more hours at work. he also helps clean up, just found him washing all the pots and the living room is clean! nearly fell over feel like i'm starting a new period of my life. am not going to fall into the trap of thinking it will all just go away, but am going to continue going to dbt and try to work through things with my bf rather than just keep it all inside and self-destruct. feels like my life is finally starting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bena.baby Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Pandora, you are making such massive steps and doing so well. It's lovely to see. Remember that even if you have a shit day/week, it'll pass. And that we'll always be here. Here, would you mind letting me know what the surgeon says about your scars? I would love to get mine sorted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsmother21 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Snap esme! I was just about to ask Dory the same question about the plastic surgeon and the scars, it would be good to know what options there are :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyP Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 thanks esme hun, is lovely to know i have friends here course yeh il let you all know what he says i'm ringing on monday to book an appt, have to travel a bit but will hopefully be worth it to hear what he has to say. the woman at the clinic said about possibly using dermaroller which uses micro needles to puncture the skin and rejuvenate it, but apparently that will make keloid scars worse and wouldn't have any effect on the others as they aren't shallow superficial ones. he also said creams wouldn't do much. think she said he mentioned a skin graft, but other than that there may not be many options. but will see what he says xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
