This is mostly a note to myself but also a promise to you guys. People on here are amazing and so supportive. I pledge to improve this scar to where i feel comfortable enough to breathe freely again...and I pledge to document my journey and solutions to give back to this wonderful community. I've been a "lurker" on here for so long before finally joining and deciding to share my pain rather than keep it bottled up. I will share how I finally overcame this silly little thing that has hurt me so much...and then I'll move on with my life as if the whole thing never even happened. I will just never look back.
I've never dealt with such a difficult scar before...it's drained the life out of me for 3 years now as it started as a bad scar and was excised and now needs to be Re excised for improvement (many consults later...most doctors said I could improve it). I am forgiving myself for the first result which was not so good....i did my best given the knowledge I had and am no longer going to beat myself up over choosing that narcissistic doctor who refused to help me further after he didn't do his job so well.
One day this will all feel like a dream...and I'll have to think hard to remember what the scar even looked like and how it bothered me. So many miracles in my life have happened when I stayed stubbornly persistent and patient and sought out solutions out of love and respect for myself. This is no different.
My wish for you is that one day soon you realize that you are whole and complete, and your scar has nothing to do with that. Nothing is missing from you. Your scar has nothing to do with the soul you carry, the value you bring to the world, the potential you have within you, and life you can have.
I wish you well on your journey to fix your scar, but I hope the path runs parallel to the one that heals your heart.
Hi Brianne, thank you for your reply. I am sorry, I forgot to add a a note that I don't feel incomplete. I've continued pursuing my educational, work, spiritual and all other important goals..they have been first priority... and now its time to address some things aesthetically! Of course I think all of us here.. or most of us at least, are just looking for ways to improve. It's taken me a long time to get to where I love myself on the inside and now that I feel that's accomplished, I'm fixing what i can just like I would if I had a broken tooth or banged up body part. We do not have to go around suffering when something can be medically improved. I have tons of childhood scars and those don't bother me. A surgery scar that's unfinished work is a little different....I don't feel any less of a person with it but I feel it's pretty normal to go and get the work finished. My pledge was less about me and more a way of reminding myself to share help/hope and my experiences with others on here...like all the people who have replied to me with good news of having improved however they wanted to while still loving themselves..and succeeding!. Like...to me it's like preparing to get a haircut... i don't dislike myself while I'm waiting for my hair to look a little neater all around. But thanks for your concern 
Please ,let us know snowflake01.
