    God go to hell you insensitive asshole. Thanks yes. You hurt my feelings irl. Feel accomplished.

    Fuck you. The sacrifices i make arent just for me you individualist dick. I want a house for my husband. I want to stop rellying on my familly for everything. I want to be able to do something anything that makes me feel like less of a drain.

    Ive suppressed my whole life and all i wanted to see is if on the weekends i can put on a wig and not look like an orc in a dress.

    Youre the reason i feel so helpless. I refuse to sacrifice other people so i can feel confortable in my skin. This job is my last best chance and im not throwing it away so i can look pretty.

    Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you.

    Yes i cried. Im so fucking trolled right now.

      Look, I honestly wasn’t trolling. Industrial jobs are inherently very tough on the body. I’ve worked in the steel industry for quite a few years. Skin in particular will take the brunt of the damage. Although in coal, unless you are dedicated to using your ppe religiously it may be your respiratory system that is going to suffer. Most people here won’t have any clue what a coal mine will do to your skin. Is your environment wet, dry, humid, hot. I imagine most will envision dust, lots of dust. I suspect probably that your lack of exposure to sunlight due to working a mine is going to work in your favor, but if you are exposed to anything that irritates your skin, a dermatologist would be a good start. What do your co-workers look like? Those that have worked the mine for many years, what skin conditions are misty prevalent? For lots of us in industry, we use our hands a lot, so scarring and dry skin from washing is common. We will often wear latex free gloves under our regular gloves if we know our gloves will get saturated. My point initially was that if it was such large concern a different career is likely you’re best option. If the coal industry is really your preference you may have to accept that a hard job can be hard on the body. A good skin care routine that anyone would perform will likely do the job. I’m really sorry if I came off flippant. I didn’t mean to, and I didn’t mean to upset you.

        1. No job is inherently tough on the body. That’s a cost saving decision made by management. They decide your skin doesn’t matter because it doesn’t cause worker’s comp claims, so they write it off as simply being part of the job and leave it up to workers to find ways to cope.

        2. Work isn’t a choice. “Get a different job lol!” Fuck off.
