Work and Psoriasis
« on: September 24, 2002, 10:33:44 AM »
Well, it's obvious what the solution is, isn't it? I reckon that if I gave up work, my skin would easily clear up in about a week. What do you reckon?! Work is just added stress which isn't helping my P!

Picture the scene: here I am at my desk, trying to post a thread on my fave site, when my boss creeps out of his office and stands behind me, waiting for me to realise I've been caught. Then, the punishment begins. "Dani, do this" "Dani, this is wrong" "Dani, where's that thing you haven't done for me"

You've all been there, right?

I might go on strike!

Luv

Baby D xxx :-*

Yes, Baby D ;) - my guess is most of us have been there ;D

It's called the "SOWOPF"-syndrome (*)

I'm lucky, I'm all alone in my little dark room ;D - but no doubt big brother is watching :-/

As P-sufferers, we should all be entitled to a Lotto Jackpot win!!

;D ;D ;D

Hey Nick

Told tell me about customers.

I used to work for the overflow call centre for Sky and someof the things customers came away with is so funny so I can quite beive your stories.

But when you are stressed at work that is when P shows big style.

But these customer to make you smile and forget all your problems

Hey I'd love to have some stories to tell but as for me I'm unemployed! I get so bored doing nothing. Have Pustular P on hands and feet really bad sometimes I can't even walk so working for me isnt an issue yet.  Left school in 2000 and been unemployed since.  And even trying to find a job with this P is extremely hard, who wants to employ someone with yellow pustules on hands, dry flaky skin and horrible nails, not anyone i know.  So also not having a job is stressful when it involves P.

Hey 21fAus

I am so sorry to hear about you not having a job. I am so gald that my P is not on my hands and not has bad as yours. But its must be getting you down.
I know it may not be your type of job but working in a Call Centre as some benfits as you are dealing with customers but they can't see you.
You can be your self with them, and your P does not get in the way. Do you know where I am coming from????

Anyway I hope you find a job soon

Karen

I'm with ya girl!

Still desperately seeking employment having finished my degree. We'll get there eventually though!

Keep positive and something will turn up :)

Just finding a job can be almost as stressfull as having one. If not more!

I was an Internet consultant for the past few years and in a brilliant brain wave I decided that I was bored of the internet and wanted to change. ( I might of been drunk during this insight I can't remember) It seemed a good idea at the time, I finished my last contract last november, then basically I didn't work until I started my own shop with a mate in August this year.

I couldn't find anything that I wanted to do or who would take me, christ I couldn't even get a bar job, the P on my face was bad at this time and i think that had something to do with it, but in the end I jumped in and did my own thing.

Its going well, but the stess levels are pretty high when you run your own business.. hopefully my P will just p Off.. (pun intended :) ).

Keep your chin up, don't let things get on top off you, you can always come here to blow off steam or get support.. as my mum says, "what's laid out for you will not pass you. It all happens for a reason."

I'm lucky (?) in the fact that another colleague of mine has p pretty bad too.  When things get bad for either of us, we know that there is someone we can talk to quite closely.

Feel for him though as he works in the warehouse and has to wear t-shirts all day. I'm the sales manager so I get to wear shirts all day.

He just strolls about without a care about his p, and I suppose I do envy his attitude.  Just get too embarassed myself.

Would be nice if we had 5 days off, 2 days on.. sound like my kind of working hours.
