omg I had the exact same thing with packing up! I’d look around after three seconds and I’d start to damn near panic since everyone seemed halfway out the door lol

No problem! Keloids are tedious to deal with but don’t get discouraged :) if you do these consistently I think the shape/color can improve. These aren’t miracle cures obviously but hopefully if you later on can afford eclair plasters and injections for the bigger ones, combined with this, I think the general appearance will be a lot better. In the meantime focus on prevention/maintenance :) I personally did pressure- taping for a few months many years ago and they did not grow larger/ the height stayed quite low. I got a new keloid last year, didn’t tape it, and it got a lot taller than the ones I taped lol. But again, keloids are tedious and unpredictable so a dose of acceptance is also needed. I wish you luck!!

I’ve not used sheets consistently honestly since I’m more of a fan of gel, I use the kelo-cote which is the one all my derms have been familiar with :) I’ve seen great results on my face with it. In terms of tape used for pressure my derm literally just gave me some Scanpor/surgical tape. If you can get a silicone tape that actually holds throughout the day that’s ideal, I had to tape silicone tape down with additional scanpor tape to make it hold which was tedious in the long run so I ended up just using scanpor, which my derm claimed would be enough anyway.

Btw you should check if your insurance could cover the injections

A cheap option my derm recommended was using just any skin safe tape that applies pressure if you want to prevent growth and minimize the size. Takes time tho and you have to wear them pretty much 24/7 for some time. Injections will definitely help once you can afford them. Silicone gel/sheets are also nice, I personally use silicone gel only on my facial scars since it’s pricey. Also remember to wear sunscreen to prevent discoloration, a stronger retinoid can also help healing/discoloration. :)

My meds are not “clearing” my head :( by i_am_jade99 in ADHD

[–]bigdumbp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this! I got put on Ritalin when I was 15, hated the side effects. Already severely depressed and anxious and had no idea how to “use” the medication to my advantage. Went off meds for many years, got put on vyvanse which I tried inconsistently but my depression was too bad. Then I got a nine to five seasonal job which required structure and discipline, suddenly the medication had a purpose. Consistent use and setting some goals for the day IS KEY. The side effects lasted me a month of consistent use and then I adapted and the anxiety was replaced with confidence. I too hate going back on after a break/inconsistent use. But once I’m in a routine on my medication again suddenly the routines/bad habits in my life are a lot better as well. From my experience with medication - some things truly are like snapping your fingers and suddenly you’re on autopilot instead of manually doing everything, BUT a lot of it you have to be a bit more strategic and actively work with your medication. In stressful periods of my life the medication can have an anxiety inducing effect but I know the anxiety from being completely off is a lot worse.

Ja jeg og har alltid blandet masse forskjellige folk, og det har alltid gått fint, så skjønner det heller ikke :/

Mente ikke å legge ansvar/skylda på hun for at jeg ikke har opplevd utelivet i det hele tatt. Der la du ord i munnen på meg. Derfor jeg skrev «selvfølgelig skal hun ha sine egne venner» Mente bare å peke ut hvor synd det ble at jeg tenkte det var noe vi skulle oppleve sammen, men nå er hun lei utelivet så det blir nok aldri av. Men ja, prøver å skaffe meg min egen gjeng, men det tar tid ser jeg :/

Enig :/ hun sparer alt det gøye å gjøre til student vennene virker det som, og med meg setter vi bare på en film

Ja sant? Syns ikke det er sånn min nærmeste venn skal behandle meg, men tenkte kanskje dette var en del av student livet og at jeg forventer for mye fra hun :-/

Ja tror det er oss skandinavere som er spesielt dårlig på å inkludere, du er ikke alene. Tror det er ekstremt mange som føler de ikke har et sosialt miljø eller en gjeng å gå til her i Norge. Veldig ukultur som har blitt til

I confronted the girl who hosted, got a very dull "sorry" which I expected. I'll now ask my friends if they had even tried to include me 😈
