@pvctom2021 Having a way to vent is a good thing. We each have a chance to develop what will work for us, and modify that as the need arises. Getting out to exercise in fresh morning air, or journaling, or chatting with the neighbor about his struggles, will help deflect the feelings we might be having ourselves, and can help us a lot!

Like you, I have a pretty pronounced "hole" scar in the middle of my forehead from a skin cancer over 20 years ago. At the time I was still working full-time, and told people they removed my third eye LOL! Since then I have only half an eyebrow due to another surgery, and recently had MOHS on my nose. Skin cancer seems to be so frequent for me. I have a cool looking jagged lightning scar near my throat and collarbone from MOHS surgery 4 years ago.

You have more courage than you give yourself credit for. You have shared with us your struggles, and that indeed takes a lot of bravery. I have no doubt you have helped others in their journey!
