I have very color-resistant gray so I apply some silver hair color once every few months to make it a little shinier and that's all I do.<br />I tried to hate myself thin for 33 years. After my son was born, I would go to the gym, sometimes for 5 hours at a time. I always worked very physically demanding jobs. I did a lot of damage to my body. At this point I have to walk with an upright walker if I want to go more than about 1/4 mile because my back hurts so bad. Believe me, I get sick as hell of people asking me about it. I feel like saying "have you never seen anyone use a mobility aid before?"Ornery Owl of Naughty Netherworld Press and Readers Roost https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596105116325246476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284813757094643990.post-12749279202601536282021-06-29T12:59:01.158-06:002021-06-29T12:59:01.158-06:00I have a nasty sunburn on my arm since I have to d...I have a nasty sunburn on my arm since I have to drive with the window down because the AC doesn't work in my car. I appreciate the help you've given.<br />This damn rosacea is way worse than teenage acne. The blemishes are deep and the stuff that usually works on acne has a paradoxical effect on rosacea.

I don't really much care what people think of my looks, but I also don't want to invite the kind of shitty criticism that a person who looks like me will automatically receive from shitty people, so I don't use photos of myself most of the time.<br />If I rested quietly until I felt strong I'd never do anything but rest! My inner self is a crappy asshole that doesn't belong in this world. I keep going mostly to piss other people off and because my son still needs my help. Otherwise I'd have pulled the plug a long time ago.Ornery Owl of Naughty Netherworld Press and Readers Roost https://www.blogger.com/profile/07596105116325246476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284813757094643990.post-58033214861864168272021-06-28T14:01:50.325-06:002021-06-28T14:01:50.325-06:00Might the rash around your tattoo be a reaction to...Might the rash around your tattoo be a reaction to the ink under the skin? Even old piercings can act up years later. I've got lots of ink--most of it over 20 years old. But then you're living with an avalanche of stress right now. I appreciate all you do to publicize other authors' posts. Thanks for that. <br /><br />FYI, I don't see an ugly woman in your photo. I see a woman close to my own age, who has been conditioned by the huge beauty industry in the USA to view herself that way. Yes, skin issues need to be dealt with. But beauty is only skin-deep. Your inner self is so much more than the sum of your looks. Be strong. Your cat needs you. And when you don't feel strong, then rest quietly until you do.

It must feel insurmountable at times.<br /><br />Cie, you have beautiful eyes! And our hair is the same color! We've earned every gray. I kinda think there's something foxy about gray hair. lol<br /><br />I've never been a small person. It used to aggrieve me when I knew I was being judged by others based on my lack of "delicate and feminine' features and size. I'm really okay with it now. People are petty, and honestly, they do judge others out of their own insecurity. They can't stand on top of their lofty hills without stepping on others to get up there. My mom used to tell me (way back when I was a teenager struggling to be accepted) that "We all put our pants on the same way: one leg at a time." <br /><br />I'm not trying to talk you out of the emotions you're going through right now. We're all entitled to what we feel. We own it. It's ours. And nobody can rush us through what we're experiencing. I guess I just want you to know you're not alone.<br /><br />Anyway, sending a big hug. :-)Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284813757094643990.post-82234525768358463312021-06-27T01:10:35.695-06:002021-06-27T01:10:35.695-06:00Hello, Cie - I don't think you're ugly at ...Hello, Cie - I don't think you're ugly at all, though the skin problem looks like a real hassle.
