@Phoenix_Rising does this get you down or do you think it is just a coping behavior

@Zoe7@Pepsimax Hmmm...my last post appeared in a larger font. That's strange. I wasn't really trying to make a loud statement @Pepsimax Does it get me down that I have scars on my arm? No. As someone said, they are battle scars. They bear testimony to what I have survived thus far. Having said that, my scars are high up on my arm such that I can generally choose whether they are visible or not. You will never see me in a singlet top or a sleeveless dress (actually, you will never see me in any dress )and I have to work hard to find blouses with long enough sleeves, but I can generally manage. The time I am most self-conscious is when I go for a swim. However, what the heck do I care what random strangers think?

Did I see a post earlier from you today about your co-workers talking about your scars? I can certainly see how difficult that would be for you
