“I think you would still pick even if you had perfect skin”

WELL GEE HOMIE I WOULDN’T KNOW BECAUSE I’VE HAD ACNE FOR 20 YEARS ON MY FACE, SCALP, SHOULDERS, CHEST, ARMS, BACK BUT THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT I GUESS??????????

I know he means well but sometimes I wish my partner would just piss off. Talking to me about how I need to “stop looking” for spots to pick. Oh wow man thanks, I’ve never thought of that, I’m cured! Now fix the part where I pick things I can’t see, like the back of my head.

I DON’T NEED YOU TO EXPLAIN MY DISORDER TO ME OR HOW TO FIX IT. I ALREADY KNOW. IF IT WAS THAT SIMPLE WE WOULDN’T BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION BRO.

Siiiiiiiiiiigh. This is a nightmare.

One of my nips is finished scabbing!

Does this mean I can take the dressing off? The nurse said it was basically just to keep the scabs from coming off on clothes/bedding, so I assume yes?

Advice for eyeshadow

I wondered if anyone had any advice - whenever I’ve done a cut crease in the past it looks BEAUTIFUL when my eyes are closed, but kind of disappears when they’re open because of the way my eyelids fold.

P.S. don’t mind my wonky eye 😂 I have hypertropia. This is also pre-skincare so there’s nothing on my face rn, hence the raccoon eyes.

I thought I might be free

UGH

I had top surgery recently so for 2 weeks I couldn’t really move all that much because of the pain, stiffness and the compression binder.

“Great!” I thought “This will help me break the habit!”

WRONG. My skin is worse than ever from not being able to shower properly and my picking is through the roof. I just want to stop doing this 😭 maybe I should get hypnotised or something.

I want to tear off my skin

I’m so ITCHY

for context: Mr. King. No drains. Stuck in the compression binder until the 23rd and was told NO PEEKING. Fine.

I am so itchy everywhere underneath this shit. My back? Oh my God I feel like I’m turning evil from how overstimulated I am. I am going to get some Benadryl tomorrow but holy fucking shit guys HELP ME.

Mr Ian King is a legend

ITS DONE! SMACK MY ARSE AND CALL ME TITLESS!

This has been said before, but I wanted to add to it. While drawing on me, this man was so nice that when he left the room, I had to sit down and cry, here are some quotes

- You’ve got big muscles, you’re going to look great!

- (in response to me saying I would be a “whole new me”) Well. Original you, but how it should have been from the start.

- Described the meds they give you as “quite profound” (not really relevant, just made me laugh)

He is so friendly, so gentle and really made me feel at ease. He explains things well and has a good sense of humour. Now we await results…in the meantime, post op dinner photo!
