Self Harm Treatment?
-
Many years ago, before peat, before everything I was in a difficult place. Like many of you.
I was forced on medication that burned my thyroid.. blabla.. fast forward 7 years later, every part of my life is better and I am wrapping up my past so my future can be better.I have remains from that time, about 20 thin, careless, light colored cuts on my left arm, which in proper lighting, are noticeable and do not attract the type of attention I like. I will have a laser treatment soon, and if not I will consider a skin graft.
Does anybody have any experience with this kind of thing? It is something which has invaded my mind nearly every day and now I have the money to take care of it, hopefully for good.

@ffrench scars will remodel to be less noticeable with higher metabolism. you could try topical vitamim E

Or you could wear them like battlescars, as a sign of what you overcame. Any person can see they're old scars by now, so they shouldn't stigmatize you as "mentally unstable" now and if they do they're ppl you don't want in your life anyway.
With proper metabolism indeed they will fade more and more. You could look into antifibrotic things, defirbron could be a start to look for studies, you could look into liverfibrosis reversal studies and serotonins involvement. The scars will never fully fade but a lot of scartissue can still be replaced.
I'd rather try to accept them than to do a skingraft, you'll still very much see the skingraft, if it's on your arm, ppl will assume you're transgender, skingraftscars are straight up frankenstein plus you'll make even more scars where the graft came from, like your thigh, better to not take away more skin function. -
@laoa Thanks for the reply. I don't know, I work in high finance and am often around very high powered people where appearance matters a whole lot. I manage because I am covered the whole time, but obviously going forward I do not want to be.

@ffrench are high powered people serotonergic

@sushi_is_cringe well it depends but I certainly am. you tell every client they are #1.. and they are not. so you get screamed at a whole lot, why is my portfolio doing this or that and it is quite miserable sometimes! plus always traveling and doing corporate stuff.
its hard to find a "rule" for high powered people, I cant really talk a lot about my specific work but it really depends on the nature of their wealth.

@ffrench my mom used to work in finance and it ruined her completely in all aspects and never truly recovered. Why do a job where you have constant stress and be subservant to assholes and have to hide yourself, considering risky cosmetical surgery just to be not dismissed. There's much better, meaningfull jobs. The money won't be worth the next mental breakdown.
