I have been browsing this website for about a week now. Some of your stories brings tears to my eyes because I know the pain you all are dealing with. I've been struggling with acne since I was 13 years old. I now am 31. I also have dealt with terrible depression since I was 15. I didn't start treatment for my acne until I was 20. My mom kept saying while growing up...oh just change your pillow case often and make sure to wear make-up every day. She also said I would grow out of it. She never took me to the doctor to get the acne checked out. Same goes for the depression. Some how I was suppose to snap out of the depression. Well, none of that worked. I've tried almost everything possible to try and clear up the acne. I was on Accutane, and my skin was clear for that year. I felt great!!! Sadly, the acne came back. I'm so tired of being a guinea pig. All I would love to do is to put this behind me. I decided to try the regiment. I must tell you I feel skeptical about it. However, I am trying to have a positive attitude about it. It's hard to have to wait 6-8 weeks to see results. Especially, when I have had to try so many different things. Acne has effected me emotionally big time. I have gone through a whole different range of emotions dealing with it. Since others have reported success with the regiment I want to stay hopeful. Thanks for letting me some what vent about this.
