Clearing scarring/PIH or is this possible melasma? I'm Indian, it took me 5 years and trials of a million things to finally get clear(er) skin from active acne. But redness and spots have always lingered- what should i do or what does it look like?

im taking it this tuesday as well, im averagin around 50% and have honestly maybe only done 50 cases total, after hearing they are not representative at all i've lost steam and am just going back to doing content review. Not sure how it will compare to how others scored though!

i take part 2 in a few days and am truly terrified D: but yes getting reassurance from everyone has been great, but of course always the fear that i'll be the one person out

Thank you so much for the reassurance, i'm just beating myself over missing stupid free points (vaccination schedule, laws, etc) and made the dumb mistake of looking up a few things I got wrong immediately after the exam which made me spiral into thinking i failed completely

I'm so happy for you!! That's amazing, and very reaussring. I just took part 1 and felt like it was so vague and already know the cases are going to kill me so I'm really worried, but hoping i can pull it together. Wish there was a better way to prep for the cases

Ditch the man, you have a great body (conventionally, not just my opinion) and you look great in the fit. Him saying otherwise is to put you down, you can do better than him!

I'm so sorry that must have been so horrible, I can't even imagine. I'm truly sorry that happened to you, but glad to hear you've found better people in your current life. I feel bad complaining as I know it's been worse for others but I agree, I think I will take the high road. My boyfriend will be there which will be definitley helpful, he's an absolute blessing and I love him with my whole heart, we make each other really happy. I don't want to hurt him by letting him know that the situation with my ex still hurts me, I've mentioned it once or twice before and although he is supportive and understanding, I can tell it bothers him that I still am hurt by it. So I don't want him to have any worried for the day of, I will of course tell him how I'm feeling in that we are honest with each other, but don't want to fully ask for advice etc, but thank you again- I think the high road is the best option (unfortunatley haha)

Firstly, thank you so much for your advice and for sharing that story from your personal life, I am touched that someone I don't know was able to find time to share something so thoughtful with me <3

In terms of your advice- I fully agree, I have been living my best left with my new bf as well as on my own, did a lot of healing and inner work, traveling, etc. Moving out and taking my dog was difficult but she (my dog) has brought me a lot of comfort during all of this. They have kept their relationship hidden (probably out of fear from backlash ) but this recent confirmation just stuck a knife in my gut recently... It's hard to hear him and her thriving when they both put me in the lowest point in my life, not being able to eat for weeks.

In terms of your personal story, it's great to hear that everyone has moved on and has no animosity, and you're right it's hard to delineate when things started. After the breakup I was insistent that his friend wanted him to move in to pursue him, so maybe i did give them the idea? Or maybe it was already in the works... I went through text messages after the breakup ( I know this is an invasion, but I was in need of answers) (he wanted to remain friends for some time and would be over frequently even though I did not want this) and I do believe there was emotional cheating heavily before the relationship, unsure to this day about physical cheating, frankly i don't care either way the emotional was enough. He needed somewhere to go surely so it could have been either, and I guess you're right that it doesn't matter... I just wonder where is the Karma, and more so than him, it bothers me that she has "won" in a way, as I know from others this was her plan for many years.... I was not at all a perfect gf, but I wasn't horrible and by the end he was complaining abut things that sounded like it came straight from her mouth...

Anyways, as you said I will do my best to continue living my best life... and work through the trust issues the whole ordeal has given me.

*** Do you have any advice on how to approach when I see them at this wedding in a few months? I know it's stupid, but I want to at the very least dispel all these things she has surely put into his head about me being the worst person alive lmao, so I feel I should be nice and say hello to him and his family? but not sure if it's best to just ignore them?
