Random, short question.
I know there's a lot of stuff/products/suggestions out there but I was wondering if anyone has had self success with this?
There are some scars I'd like to get rid of but all of my mainly self mutilating scars ( Oh my gorgeous tits!) I really wish I could keep, but alas,
I want to get rid of all my scars because I'm going to try and join the military through my brother, and he said he was worried about them.
I might end up getting laser scar removal in February, but just to get rid of as much as I can now would def be cheaper!
Does your brother know that it's a problem? I mean, there's a psychology test to see if things are alright in your head. If you didn't cripple yourself, you should be fine physically too.
I'm sure there are creams out there for that kind of thing but some scars just don't go away.
And yes, the military will ask you if you have a history of self-harm and it will negatively affect your application. You will also be required to undress in front of a medical professional to the point any self-inflicted injuries will be plain to see.
Well it's not -that- kind of problem. I haven't 'self mutilated' in years because of not wanting anymore scars, chose to stop...When I was younger I didn't CARE it was all just sex and fun to me. Never thought of it as "harm".
I am all right up there, I think my brother knows that which is why he wanted to recruit me and we had began talking about it...
I'm okay physically! Just, scars. Yeah...
There are certain oils and products that you can buy to reduce the appearance of scars. A quick google will throw up some results for you, though I can't vouch for the results, and I think they older the scar the less effective it will be. Still, probably a good idea to try and save a bit of money.
Now if you'll excuse me, fapping to the idea of scar covered lolis in army uniforms.
>>>4 I am all right up there
You're being so vague I can barely form a reply.
I assume you're talking mentally but the point is that even if you say you're right as rain it's not up to you to assess this. As I said, if you declare a history of self harm for whatever reason that may be it WILL negatively impact your application. Not saying you won't get in but it won't help you.
Yes of course I know it will effect it negatively, which is why I am hoping I can get rid of them before I step anywhere near the recruiting office... I have an array of different scars too, knife marks, burns, and uh other such things from my past. I have only tried suicide once, those scars would indicate something...but something like my breasts...probably over 60 scars, my excuse " uh, cause it felt good?" I can't do that so I am definately going to get surgery there, and even at the cosmologist (or whatever they are) I'm going to see in Thailand I hope I won't need to do any awkward explaining x.x. I just hope, I get into the navy, after that...maybe I be more careful about getting cut up, keep it on the downlow if I ever want to do it again. I mean now I would say I won't do it again for sake of people wonderig WTF happened...but never say never I guess. I find being cut exhilirating...money for surgery is not an issue but the less I spend the more stuff I can buy while I'm visiting my family in Thailand. Though really they don't know why I need it, and even my father at home doesn't get what I must've been thinking...he doesn't know what to tell them, least of all he doesn't want to reveal some are drug related...oh boy I was twisted. ;/ I hope changing the inside will be as easy as getting scar removal..:(
>>5 I wish I was still loli, I'm 20 now but I always get id ed for cigarettes...
from what I know, and I am in no way, shape or form a recruiting officer, scars like that will have an influence on them recruiting you. That said if they find based on all the other aspects on the recruiting process that you would be a valuable asset to the navy I highly doubt that some fading scars would really keep you out of there.
I would think though that your larger problem will be the "I have only tried suicide once" part of your statement. If there happens to be a medical record about that, and i reckon there probably is, or they find out another way then your chances of being accepted are not all that good.
All that said, there are always exceptions and you may just be one of them, so just try and stay on the safe side if any of the scar removal procedures you stumble upon seems harmful and be very sure you have a qualified professional doing the surgery if you feel you must have it. Any sloppiness there might lead to very bad new scarring and pain.
>I have only tried suicide once
This is problematic, because the statistics generally show that one suicide attempt often leads to another, especially in women. Still, they might just make you undergo some more mental testing or something, I'm not sure what their procedure is.
I think in all honesty, if I didn't have any scars on my body,
I could be fine. I'm fine mentally and have gone through a lot of successful therapy for my 'problems', traumatic childhood experience and all that, was the only reason I was never "OK" in life, but have been past that for many years now...
That time I tried to commit suicide, I did end up in the hospital, so I suppose it would be on record...
But my brother wouldn't of thought of recruiting me if he felt I still had any issues, and I think anyone that meets me can tell I'm quite capable blahblah but they see scars and they wonder.
Anyways, I was well aware about the negative effect the scars would have on my recruiting process, which is why I'm so adamant about getting them removed -
and it finding a qualified professional won't be a problem,
it's just that it is much cheaper in Thailand, my mother has always gone there for surgery and we are quite wealthy, no one in my family would let me undergo a procedure with a Doctor we are not already familiar with.
The suicide attempt was a stupid mistake, I still regret it because it's really destroyed a big part of my life in some ways, but it wasn't an act of long term depression or anything, the situation at the time was horrible and yeah, like I said, stupid mistake.
My scars, I account them all to my stupid youthfulness.
I had only just started experimenting with masochism and at the time I was one of those "rebellious punk kids" back in middleschool/early highschool, I just wanted to do what I want and didn't care about what anyone thought.
Now that I've grown up a little, I truly regret having gone so crazy with it, mostly because they are visible if I wear low collared shirts and the like - I have the habit of keeping my hands low on my lap when I go out to places like restaurants because I'm self conscious of the scars...
It really all was me being so dumb...Even my tattoo, I got later on, I got on my back - even if it's huge, I specifically wanted it in a place that wouldn't really be visible unless someone saw me naked. I didn't take those kind of careful precautions when I was younger, and back then I remember dreaming up someday I'd get my first tattoo smack on my breast or on my arm, haha.
Anyways scars aside, I think all my other aspects are good - so I hope I can get rid of them. :)
It would be much wiser though, for both your future and your purse, to pass there scarrings as debts of war. Surely this will do good in an interview where hardened warriors are wanted! Facing many battles you persevered, leaving as victor every time. Many a troll and orc felled by your blade saw nothing but your satisfied grin as their existence fled their bodies.
Each of your scars should tell a tale, one of courage and devotion, loyalty and endurance. It is up to you however, to speak yourself out properly, and if done well, no selfserving commander would deny your presence under their flag.
I suppose there is no easy way to get rid of scars I have few acidental injuries and scars are visible after many ears.
Only way to somehow lake scar smaller is to cut out that piece of skin then realign everything very perfectly and let heal again.
if skin is perfectly aligned scars do not appear much, except very tiny while lines.
So you can minimize their visibility but that will take enormous amount of effort and money if you ask some professional to do ultra precise work on them.
I hardly thing any doctor will agree to works on that unless you visit plastic surgeon.
I think you could try to fix them yourself by cutting out some skin and then precisely sewing wound with very thin thread. If alignment is perfect everything heals almost instantly.
But even dealing with one scar will take lots of time.
>>12 Hilarious.
Also,
Vitamin E geltabs or gelcaps, or whatever the hell it is they call them. Break those open and rub the gel in very thoroughly and apply lots of pressure while you rub!
All those expensive creams are nothing more than very high doses of Vit E, and it's much much cheaper to just buy the vitamins and break them open. I asked a pharmacist this exact same question ( different source for the scarring though, hahaha) and this is what they told me to do. It will take a few months, however, for the scars to fade. It could take a long time, but if you continually apply this treatment every day it will work as good as anything shy of laser removal will.
Again, a pharmacist told me this and I have absolute confidence that she is correct.
Don't know a thing about those E gelcaps/tabs, but I tried with creams. None worked. I have a massive scar on my right calf, but it isn't the bumpy keloid type, it's rather flat and just a different skin colour. Though it was cancer even, but doctor perscribed me even some special cream-like ointment, which didn't help anyway.
