HIGH FIVES!!!

So, just wanted to share, last night I went to a family party and for the first time, in such a long time I wore a top with mid-length sleeves exposing my forearms and elbows!!! Yay! Happy dance!!

Completely dreadful initially but actually didn't feel too self conscious once everyone had had a good stare! lol

Perhaps a small achievement but MY GOODNESS I'm proud of myself so high fives and pats on the back for me please!

Hooray!

(Fred, feel free to move/rename this is I've not put it in the right place. Thought it would be good to have an area on the forum to share good day stories/mini successes   x )

This thread has been suggested by Jess, I think this is a great idea. having psoriasis we tend to talk about the bad days but very rarely talk about the good times, like when we have managed to go out and not worry about what people think of us.

Some of us can cope and don't think nothing about it. but for some just managing to walk around the shopping centre with your arms exposed is one hell of an achievement. and having some where to tell others will give them a positive attitude.

So thank you Jess for suggesting this I will make this a sticky thread so it remains at the top of the Psoriasis section. share with us your Good Days on this thread.

EDIT: As this thread has not been used for a while I will remove it from the sticky threads. if you would like it made sticky again please let me know.

Well done Jess this is a great start. I bet no one made any nasty comments either.

Keep it up

Nope, no-one said a word other than that I looked nice

Well done girl, good for you, just get out there and confront them, it is surprising how quickly your confidence will improve.

Way to go Jess!
