Geniune fear of the sun Anonymous 2016-07-04 17:43:53 Post No. 17323005 [Report]

Around 2 years ago I developed a fear of the damage caused by sunlight, or more specifically UV rays. I live in Florida so the sun is powerful here. I'm very scared of the permanent damage and early aging it does to your skin, and the look of being tan. For a long time I managed to stay inside while the sun was out, and do my grocery shopping and other errands all at night. But recently I've acquired a job where I'll need to get through 30 minutes of the sun to get there, and there is a huge window next to my area with no protection from the direct sun. Despite my best efforts, wearing a sweater in 90 degree weather and loads of sunscreen every single day, I'm already seeing the damage occurring to my skin, and I'm noticeably darker. It's worrying me greatly and I'm wondering, is this something big enough to quit my job over? Are there any extra precautions I can take to avoid the sunlight?

I don't know what to do in this situation, I cannot avoid the sun but I don't know if it's worth quitting my job, I'm seriously considering it though. It's so hard to handle, and I've been anxiously looking in the mirror at my skin every day.

How old are you ?

That fear is definetly irrationnal m8.

That's called tanning. It's the way your body adapt itself to actually protect yourself better from the UV rays. The darker you are, the better is your protection. That's why african people are actually black.
