Acne? Is it really that bad compare to other disease out there?

I dont even know if i should be writing this, but i know if i do i will feel some what better. I suffer from acne all my life since i hit puberty back in middle school. I mainly blame it for ruining life in many ways. I finally met someone in my life a while back that love me for who i am. I thought i would never find such a person that can see me pass my acne and the low self-esteem it cause me. But i was wrong. I might say im lucky compare to other people on this board with severe acne. I always had moderate acne, now its mostly mild. It was just recently i been dating this girl not even a year that i truly love. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was not able to get surgery to save her life. We stopped dating b/c she had to leave the state that we live in to get help in another state. Looking at my life this past year and comparing to my whole life, I realize acne is really nothing compare to life threatening disease like cancer. I would rather have severe acne all over my face and body for the rest of my life than see a love one dying from cancer. We all should be happy with who we are even if we have acne. There are much more worst things out there in life that people can have. Life is short. We just have to realize it and be happy. Because of all of this that has happen to me, my acne to me is whatever now.

Instant Messaging/Depression

hey guys and gals, i hate my life b/c of my damn acne. i have no social life b/c of it and ill i do week after week day after day is go to work and come home just to repeat the same routine over and over hoping that one day my acne will disappear. some days i tell myself to keep my head up high and try to be happy, while other days im just plain bummed out and depressed. b/c of my acne i wouldn't allow myself to get close to anyone in my life b/c i thought i could conquer this on my own. i have no real close friends that i feel comfortable going to talk about how i feel. if anyone out there reading this, wanna chat online to cheer me up or just be a fellow acne struggling buddy that would be great. or if your just bored and wanna chat, click on my profile link to get my screen name. maybe we can help each other out emotionally.
