Embarassed of Acne.org?

I was just wondering if anyone else waits till they're in their homes safe from onlookers or in private areas when they check out the recent stuff on acne.org?

I ask this because I'd be sitting in college lectures bored out of my mind wanting to stab myself so I'd whip out my lap top and want to check the latest and greatest on acne.org. But then I'd look at the people sitting beside me and didn't want to bring any more attention to myself and want them to know I was looking at an "Acne" site.


Anyone else hide away to check this place out? 'Cause it's different right...not like you're browsing amazon or checking sport scores.

I'm Glad...

I'm glad that I've been so caught up in things and just remembered I have a ten page essay due this thursday on something about Latin America. And I work tomorrow from 1-10...lol....shit I'm screwed. I just felt like posting to feel like I did something constructive tonight .



Positive note: My skin has gotten extremely better this past month and acne has been off my mind so I'm happy about that. Haha the all nighter I'm going to pull tomorrow night won't help though.


Hope you all have a great day tomorrow

Always Face Acne...Body Acne Non-Existant

Why the hell can your face manage to look like a truck ran over it then it was scraped up and thrown in the garbage and left to rot for a couple hundred years and your back, chest, arms and everything else look absolutely splendid?....haha I dont understand

The Girlfriend or Boyfriend Dilemma

Hey everyone I'm really new but I've been around on here. So I'll just provide a bit of background I'm a 19 year old guy that is currently attending university in Canada. I lived in one place all my life then moved away for university to a new place and don't live in residence (which kind of hasn't been too great). I used to have mild acne in highschool. Pro active for the most part took care of me and I tanned a little to even out my complexion. Acne was never a big part of my life.

Anyways....I had a girlfriend for a long time and we have just recently split. It was a big battle emotionally on me in many ways. We got together back in my hometown after a lot of messing around with each other's feelings and playing the friends with benefits game and such. Some of the best memories of my life....

So I moved for university and so did she. Except we were in separate places.

Then acne happened. My face went to complete shit. The charming, confident, happy guy I used to be was disappearing. I tried not to let it get me down but when your girlfriend is beautiful, has perfect skin, and you wash together in the bathroom looking at each other in the mirror and you can barely look at yourself, things start to happen to you.

Haha what is the point to all this your asking? Well basically I'm saying I turned into a different person, I wasn't the guy she had fallen in love with from before. I became way more reserved, I wasn't as outgoing with her friends, and I felt like dying when she would touch my acne ridden face in bed.

So basically we fell out of love. And I feel like it was because of me. This girl was amazing and it wasn't because of my acne, it was what my acne made me turn into.

Girlfriends and boyfriends are amazing when it comes to support, but just don't let this stuff get to you like I let it get to me. And don't totally rely on them because they may go. (And for you that don't have a GF or BF at many times it's overrated..haha..constant sex is nice though jk).
Enjoy your life and your relationships..some may last some won't, but don't let acne be the cause for any of the negatives.

So now I'm just starting to regain what I had lost. I'm finding who I used to be.... I feel like this has all been a huge challenge to show me that life really isn't easy. It's been a humbling lesson for sure.

Smile people. Love who you're with. And love those who will come. You'll look back and smile when all this acne has been left behind!
