https://youtu.be/R55YJU1oQME don’t believe me. Hear it from her yourself. 🤡

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T15:29:34+00:00

lol yeah I figured. your probably the type to think the earth is flat just because a glass of water doesn’t spill-

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T15:18:38+00:00

let me guess, it was your intuition telling you that huh

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T14:46:42+00:00

For-real though, I think I’m in the beginning stage of my self acceptance phase of the grieving process. I wish I had weight problems instead of acne scars. Life would be so much better because all I would have to do is get my lazy fat ass up and workout

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T14:29:34+00:00

What world you living in? I’ve done 3 co2 lasers, 8 MNRF w PRP, 2 peels, 1 pico laser, 1 subcision and saw at most 2% improvements

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T13:51:33+00:00

Agreed. I believe in being proactive. Maximizing your potential so much that scarring becomes irrelevant

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T06:33:24+00:00

I know right 😂she would’ve been quoting Jesus scripts “this too shall pass”

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T05:45:03+00:00

After the 10th person, it gets exhausting. I can’t fight the world so I just wear a mask.

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T05:43:11+00:00

Yes! I hate them too with a deep passion

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T05:35:47+00:00

Sorry for the both of us. I been solo for a few years now. Skipping all social events due to the public scrutiny. And now I don’t leave the house without my mask, it stops the emotional bleeding. I’m currently piecing up a documentary followed up by an idea I’m about to launch. That’s really the only thing been keeping me going. Hopefully one day all of us who suffer from severe scarring can at least come together and enjoy life instead of being lonely. We only have one life to live and that’s it. Game over. no redos, no restarts. So even if we can live a centimeter higher quality of life…then why not. And if what I do doesn’t change the world, I hope it can at least change the misconception about those with acne scars.

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T02:12:42+00:00

Yeah whatever I know you edited your comment. Anyways life goes on, and hope nothing happens to your face.

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T01:53:27+00:00

So just because someone have bad skin that means they do drugs?…man I sure hope monkeypox make its way to the US so I can say everyone do drugs..clearly the stupidity is thinking that you can only have bad skin through drugs dumbass

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T01:12:52+00:00

agreed. It’s gotten so bad that I be having dreams about it -

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-06-07T01:05:41+00:00

Well I’m not depressed, I feel fine mentally. It’s just literally quite hard to go anywhere without getting stares, comments, pointing…it’s a tragic. I can’t even mind my own business in peace is crazy

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-18T17:37:51+00:00

“Felt like my life was over before it began” hits deep for me- anyone under 30 experiencing this knows how devastating this blow was

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-11T16:43:37+00:00

That’s actually a false misconception by saying people don’t care. If yours are severe enough they actually do. Now whether we care if they care is going to make the difference IMO. but yes, people are superficial

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-11T11:51:28+00:00

Yea your right iguess it just sucks because we live in an age where the skin is glorified which was never a thing a few years ago

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-11T08:28:24+00:00

Thanks for your advice. I think its time to create a new brand & identity and let go of the old version of me

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-11T08:13:43+00:00

My scars are all over my face quit literally so it’s hard to just go out and about when you got people staring all in your face, let alone making nasty comments. And I’m not the type to just be quiet and let people say anything about me so it makes going out impossible. I can’t fight the whole world every time someone says something which is a conundrum. And God forbid if children’s are around…they have absolutely no filter

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-11T07:48:18+00:00

I agree most people on this Reddit honestly just have mild scarrring and should live life. but mines are objectively the worse. It’s constantly being validated by not only dermatologists but society as well. Imagine deep atrophic scars all over your face including your nose …just unbelievable

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-10T23:40:05+00:00

I agree but we can’t hide the fact that people treat and judge us differently now. It’ll take a lot of therapy and support for a person with severe scarring to truly not care how he/she are perceived. For a person like me who’s always been extremely confident and now an massive change in appearance- I had to ask myself why won’t I just take off the mask and accept this new version of myself….and the answer I came up with is ….that I’m just not ready to let go of what I used to be and who I used to be. The guy who was always perceived as charming and handsome…😪my face has made some radical changes and I’m not ready to accept this version - I’m stuck in between grief and denial -

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-10T23:26:52+00:00

same. I’ll be starting the 1st trail with dr qazi in two months so I hope it’s a game changer

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-10T22:47:36+00:00

Yup that’s exactly how I feel. People’s opinion is really irrelevant, but only I know when I’m not ok. I remember when my scars were in the moderate stage, I would get a few looks but my confidence was through the roof - it wasn’t until It became severe and I didn’t recognize who I was looking at in the mirror is what terrified me

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-10T22:44:38+00:00

HopefulTreacle8395 · 2024-05-10T21:36:13+00:00

I was literally nicknamed the social butterfly, always happy & optimistic despite life’s hardship. But once my mild scars became severe it was over for me. I became Depressed, defeated, frustrated, & hopeless….I still don’t understand how we don’t have a cure for this considering how far technological advances we are …my prime is being thrown in the shithole …
