So I went today for my last prescription, got my blood test and pregnancy test etc, then I went to talk to the nurse for my consultation or whatever. I decided to tell him about getting upset, as I do quite alot now, and I started crying in the appointment, I felt so stupid but I couldn't help it. I ranted on about my future, my boyfriend and my acne... then he said Maybe we should lower your dose and keep you on it for longer. At this point, I was like WHAT?! Thinking it will just come back stronger and never go away. He went away to consult his "collegue" and the Dermatologist, came back and said that I would stay on my dose, but I had to back in 10 days just so they can check my state of mind... I'm not crazy...just a little down. It happens. Now I fear its something worse...

He says that it seems like I'm not supported enough... I'm currently staying at my boyfriends while my mum moves down south. I miss her... and my boyfriend has other commitments besides me... Seems like here is where I can turn, and I thank everyone for that.

Only got 4 weeks left if my bloods are ok and I appear ok on the 22nd.
Things will get better, won't it? I don't actually have dry skin anymore., just my lips and headaches.

I want my smile back, I want my energy and motivation back...Or else my ambitions won't be realised. This scares me... I am very ambitious but what if it doesn't happen for me?

Jeez I'm into a rant again.... Sorry Guys.
Anyway, Thanks for reading this if you did

Awww *hugs* im abit like that at the moment as well. Its just not fair when you have to deal with your skin and your life "falling apart" at the same time. Things will get better though they always do, just hang in there and you know youve got us board members to rant and rave to whenever ya like!

Hi, yeah I am from Aberdeen (outskirts also, I live in Banchory!) Go past Westhill every time I go to town! Are you going to ARI for that? Its such a trek to get the prescription from where the department is lol. The people are really nice though.

I really want to be a doctor so thats what I'm aiming for in life. What about you? Hopefully everyone will get their goal one day...

Had to go private for mine unfortunately, currently seeing a derm at Albyn Hospital who is brilliant.
