Horrible...!!!!I feel like i cant stand this any more..!!!why is this happening to me...!!i have come for vacation at my home town and i dont want to see them..!!!!i dont want them to stare or to look at me..!!!i am so ashamed.!!!wish i could change my skin......wish i could live another life.....wish i didnt give this so much thought.....wish i could live a normal life...with ice creams and fried chips and cakes and just be happy......wish it didnt affect me like this....its not the worst thing in the world...but i have no strength to keep reminding me that any more...i feel alone in this..
I know how difficult it is, but like Lily said, try and remember that you're not alone in this. I know at times it can feel like you are, and that thought can be so isolating and it contributes to more negative thinking. Every time I read through the posts in this thread I really do wish that some sort of real life acne support group could be organized...I just imagine that it would be so cathartic for people all suffering from this awful condition to just sit down and share stories and talk about it. I think it would be such a positive thing and it would make people feel that they're not alone, and they can draw strength from each other and help each other with this horrible condition.
Tried African black soap, face me bumps all over my face, not horrible, but not good. These are bumps I didnt have in the first place. Initial breakout? Ive only tried it twice, I'm considering trying it again. Not sure yet. Do you guys know of any natural ways to get rid of acne?.

It's an interesting idea - a real life acne support group. I wonder if it's something I'd go to though... I think it would be helpful but also harder (for me anyway) to talk about acne and how it affects me when it's face-to-face with others. I sorta like the slight 'anonymity' that comes with posting online - it makes it a little easier and is still helpful. But I think a real life support group would be very helpful also - probably help improve confidence in people too

I can assure you that you're not alone in this. Pretty sure everyone on this site will have had thoughts, like those you've mentioned, on more than one occasion - I have at least. I've been feeling a lot like this lately - not wanting to go out because I don't want people to be looking at my skin and I really really wish that my skin didn't bother me as much as it does.
I guess it all comes down to our thinking - it's hard to change how we think about things/ our attitudes toward things - but we have to really try and not let acne bother us and to still go out and enjoy life. Acne can't stop us from having a good time if we don't let it.
I know it's a lot easier said than done - but I think it's worth remembering.
Hope you feel better soon. You're not alone in this.
Thank you lilly75!! Thank you for your reply....you have made me feel a bit better....sadly there is always my horrible enemy.....my mirror....that keeps bringing me down...!!!
Actually i was thinking of taking that pill that dries the hell out of you.....but my acne comes from hormonal imbalances and i dont think that it will be a long lasting solution....Has anyone tried it?Is it really trully good?And what about the fact that you cant have kids for 2 years??I just think that something that is so strong cannot be good for you....
Anyway...thank you so much for replying to me....It feels good!!

You know....i think that that is a brilliant idea....!!!always feels much better when you can actually speak about this with people that know what you are going through or have been there!!!All these people i speak to, they say that they understand....but there is no way....!!!!Just spoke a while ago with my only acquaintance i know that has...ok not acne....but gets at least a few spots...and it felt so good because she knew...she understood..!!!it gets so frustrating talking to people and they keep saying "its ok, nobody thinks of it, they think of the person inside"!!!maybe they do...but when i look in the mirror i cannot see the person inside......i see this terribly spotty person....!!!!You have a brilliant idea and i hope you find a way to make it come true....think it would help everybody....it will get us out of our houses....it will get us free from these horrible thoughts.....oh i hope you try to do it!!!!i am sure everybody would help with that...!!!thank you for replying and i hope to hear more things happening from you!!!!

Yes but you are forgetting that you will be meeting people that have the same problem as you....there will be no staring...or talking behind your back...or trying to not speak about the topic...!!!!you will be able to say"man,i feel like shit today" and there will be someone saying"Me too, this and this happened to me and it was the worst" and you will just know that it wasnt only you but there where other people!!!!i think it is a fantastic idea!!!do us all a great deal of good!!!
You think it gets better.. then it just gets worse
You read my mind. I go to bed every night thining to myself 'ok, tomorrow will be different, maybe i won't get a new pimple or 3. Maybe the inflammation will be gone'. Then i get up the next morning to more inflammation and new pimples. Ain't life grand.
So I'm reading more and more about people wanting a real life acne support group. Since we are all in different areas of the country and world, what about setting up a conference call and who ever wants to join in, can join in and we can all talk. I would set that up for all of us who are interested in that. Seems much easier and we can talk more vs typing over the Internet.
Last year of uni (4th) and I had acne through all of it. Today I was looking at my face and theres this big flesh coloured bump. It doesnt hurt or anything, but under makeup it looks like a cyst, which im almost sure its not. Ugh I may get a needle tomorrow and pinch it maybe?...I wish again that I had no marks on my cheeks so that I can walk around without a ton of makeup, which slides off my face. Im sick of it! And my love life is basically non existent. During broad daylight I turn into a violent lesbian who stays at least 1.50m away from people T_T And British girls are too pretty. Damn you! *in a joking envious way* : D
I dont know how im going to survive being a freshers helper! I swear i would have enjoyed it so so much more if i wouldnt have go to the loo every hour to emergency patch the sliding off expensive sh*t on my face.
Did you whene off or stop cold turkey?
Cold turkey, not the best option I know but I finished the 1 month supply and I didn't want to use any more as I know they are bad for you to take long term by messing up your gut flora. They provided a little bit of relief, I stopped getting bad cysts after about 2 weeks on them, now its a different story... but still I don't like taking them long term, its not good for you.
Not sure what to do now, trying to avoid accutane as much as possible... between a rock and a hard place at the moment in terms of my skin.

Don't pick it! It will just make it worse. Just apply BP on it or a SA on it. Or exfoliate. No picking! It will scar. Personal experience. Lol 
just so you know.
You're welcome for the reply 
Yeah that's another thing too - I try and avoid the mirror (or if I have to use it I'll use it quickly) especially when I'm having a bad day - it only makes me feel worse - and I know by avoiding it, it makes me not worry over my skin so much. Always a good thing haha
Are you talking about Accutane? I personally haven't taken it and at this stage I don't think I will - just a personal choice. If it's something you want to take please talk to your doctor and/or dermatologist about it and even do your own research into it. It is a very serious drug which can have some really bad side effects -and for some people the side effects can last even after they've finished the drug. If you go to the Accutane forum on this site you can read peoples experiences with it - both the positive and negative ones. And yes it's true that you can not get pregnant while taking it. It can cause serious birth defects to the baby. Accutane works for a lot of people but it also doesn't work for what seems like just as many people.
My point is just to make sure you inform yourself about the drug if it's something you're thinking of taking and talk about it with your derm/ doctor.
And about what you said to me about the 'real-life acne support group' - (sorry I couldn't get it to quote just that section and didn't want to quote the whole post)
I feel like that's what I have here - I'm able to 'meet' people who have experiences and thoughts like me and I can also say 'I feel like shit today' here - especially on this forum - and people will know what I mean. Personally it's the face-to-face aspect that puts me off - I just don't think I could do it yet although I do see the positives to it. The biggest positive in it I think is that it would improve confidence in people - it would for me anyway - and if I could remind myself of that then it might be something I would go to
Just my opinion on it
Now entering the aftermath of a round of antibiotics... a lot of inflamed painful cysts saying hello to the world now. I should have never have taken the antibiotics in the first place, paying for it now.
This happened to me too 
Only just recovering slightly from the awful cysts on my cheeks neck and chest. Lots of awful red marks and more scaring..... Fabulous!!! Roll on 6 weeks until the appointment with the derm ;(
My skin is eh today. Have 2 actives, but my whole face is just red. Im staying at my cousins place for like 10 days watching her cats. It's nice because I have the place to myself. I went and bought a big aloe Vera plant for $8 just now. I'm going to use it tonight for the redness and see how it does. I've never used it I hope its as great as everyone says.

Ok...i'll follow the advise! its just ive never gotten one of those uninflamed cysts... >.<
Applied aloe Vera from a plant just now for the first time. I put it all over my forehead, Spot treated a forming pimple, and some on my chin that's irritated from shaving. First thought is my forehead feels smoother, but well see how everything looks in the morning. I hope I'm not allergic to it or hope it doesn't break me out. Always nervous trying something new
Crosses my fingers 
I wish I was dead. I hope I die I hope I die I hope I die I hope I die I hope I die. It is coming all over my face after being clear for a while. I don't think I can do this anymore. Just cryed (haven't for a while) which makes me feel
pathetic. Just prayed to a god I don't fully believe in. Even though I know it won't help. It couldn't hurt right? Right?
Sometimes I look up in the sky and wonder if he is sitting there. Staring at me....the reason I don't fully believe is because if he truly had the power to get rid of this shit on my face..wouldn't he? According to the bible he loves me. And knowing that it kills me inside wouldn't he want to help?. Idk. Sorry if any religious people are offended by this. That wasn't my intention. Just my ignorant thoughts I guess.
This might sound weird but in a way but I truly love each and everyone of you. You all know what its like. Some of you have it worse, some of you have it better, I feel as if I personally know you.
A part of me believes that I will fix this by the end of the summer. So I have a little hope. BUT WHO THE FUCK AM I KIDDING. THIS SHIT ISNT GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON! THE LAST 7 MONTHS I HAVE GAINED ALL OF MY CONFIDENCE BACK. AND NOW ITS ALL GONE AGAIN! ....I feel bad for my girlfriend...she deserves so much better. She's been hit on by better...
Hmmm I guess ill tell you how I'm feeling tomorrow I guess. Bye
