I'm going to take Diane 35 and Cipralex on time.
I won't pick my skin. I promise.

:/

I keep breaking my promises.

I have to be serious now. really serious. Picking leads to bumps, redness, whiteheads, and infections...when will i learn.]]> Tue, 30 Jun 2009 09:27:42 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9496-the-plan/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9495-god-help-me-stop/
I started to take antibiotics again. And I cant seem to stop picking on my face

My old habit is suddenly returning. i have to stop. I have an interview on Thursday. I really shouldn't pick tomorrow and wednesday.

Really depressed now

Must not do it.. from June 20th until July 4th! :wall:

And I really need a job or else I will shoot myself in the head.]]> Sat, 20 Jun 2009 07:44:00 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9340-getting-pimples-all-of-a-sudden/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9323-walk-away-from-the-mirror/
I HAVE TO STOP. Not picking for one week will make such a difference!

I have to hang on until July 4th. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 04:54:10 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9323-walk-away-from-the-mirror/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9305-i-cant-stop/
I am sad. I am so sad. I'm unemployed, so my anxiety is much worse, and it was also my PMS week. I picked on small bumps causing them to be even more noticeable. :(

I am so fucking sad now. I don't want to go anywhere. I am just ugggggh. I wanna stop....]]> Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:21:27 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9305-i-cant-stop/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9101-gotta-stop/
I am going to let them heal. I am not going to pick on my blackheads no more! That's it!

No more touching. :wall:

June 3rd-June 10th ....my first goal is to last one week.]]> Wed, 03 Jun 2009 02:29:33 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9101-gotta-stop/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9082-plan-to-stop-picking/
Sigh. frustration, anger, and such leads me to act this way. Arg.

I have to exercise and eat healthy, take pills on time, and everything will be okay.

Keep hands away. Do not touch my skin! Do not! Tuesday-Saturday. Most definitely don't!]]> Tue, 02 Jun 2009 00:30:52 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-9082-plan-to-stop-picking/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-8407-picking-marathon/ :dance:

Picking, scratching any part of my body definitely leads to whiteheads and pimples.

I should stop.

I have little bumps on my foreheads and around my mouth. AAAAAH i hate this. I want smooth skin AGAIN. everything was perfect until now. arg!!!

I will wait two weeks...maybe it will go away.

I haven't had crazy cysts on my cheeks or my back for many months now.

Here is the thing though: I have been taking monocycline, but recently quit.

But I get more blackheads and inflammations before my period. :P

sucks! I have a few little red spots around my mouth that I need to conceal....but mostly..it hasn`t been that bad.

I still take anti-biotics. my 3rd month. It really helped ...]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 08:29:05 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-6403-end-of-5th-month/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-6186-daydreaming-about-beautiful-skin/

No severe cysts this month. I just started my 5th month of Diane 35. And second month of Minocycline.

I still need to be patient until everything gradually disappears.

And while I'm waiting, I shall not pop tiny pimples. :P]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 23:44:57 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-6175-smooth/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-6066-improvement/ For now, I'm avoiding picking/popping/scratching until Nov.20th to see how much more my skin will improve.]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:55:51 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-6066-improvement/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-5993-slowly/ My back acne and chest completely cleaned up except for occasional blackheads.

My back cleaned up 90% when I stopped scratching it. I should not scratch it ever again. Arg.
I have OCD or something...]]> Mon, 27 Oct 2008 02:19:36 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-5962-hands-away/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-5955-keep-hands-away-goddamnit/
my back and chest cleaned up so nicely because i stopped scratching it.

now i need to keep hands away for a month, and only then i can tell if my medicine is working.

arg. i have a terrible picking problem...and it's giving me scars.
i didn't pick so...]]> Sun, 26 Oct 2008 07:14:48 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-5955-keep-hands-away-goddamnit/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-5942-keep-hands-away/
I feel so sleepy.

Anyway, i really need to stop looking at my cheeks and leave them alone. Everywhere else I have smooth clean skin....

it definitely helps keep my hands away from my face. so do that....friday to friday. one week.]]> Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:38:30 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-5942-keep-hands-away/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-5932-improving/
The goal now is to continue with my regiment: Monocycline, Diane-35, and Benzaclin

the good news is that..my chin and nose stopped breaking out...completely...it seems.

God help me. :)

But I had to pop some old whiteheads that wouldn't heal! :)
They were sticking out of my cheeks and I'm going to a party tomorrow.
I wouldn't pop them if I didn't have to go out.
Hopefully after tonight, they will flatten a little.]]> Fri, 17 Oct 2008 04:20:40 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-5861-no-brand-new-cysts-today/ http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-5840-only-one-a-day/ That's an improvement from last month when I would get 2-3 cysts a day!
It might be Diane 35 finally adjusting. Might not be Minocycline because it takes about 2-3 months for anti-biotics to start working. I've taken it for only one week.

So, lets hope I will get less and...]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:06:36 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/blog/1086/entry-5840-only-one-a-day/
