I've met a lot of new people in the past few days. Everyone has been super cool to me. It feels really good to be almost accepted again. I looked at my skin is a super bright lighted mirror today and I sort of smiled and nodded my head. My skin is about 80-85% clear.
African black soap with rosehip oil, candex, charcoal, and jojoba oil is doin work.
And you know...the more I get out, the more I notice that there are a lot of people that don't have perfect skin. They still look happy and are living great lives. I'm trying to get there. My personality is the best thing I have to offer. I'm getting more and more comfortable with myself and who I am. Im looking forward to the new year or 2 and hoping to meet an amazing woman who appreciates me for me.

I'm very happy for you!! I read almost all your post here.. ha ha. My skin is normal, not oily nor dry.. but I still get pimples. I just gotta stop searching for small bumps or comedones or w.e these bumps under skinare that may form. I'm also gonna change my diet a bit. I wanna eat less fruits 'cause I saw too much fruits give problems and since I started eating lots of fruits, I've been breaking out.
Well I have cut out soda completely. I've been so addicted to soda, I almost NEVER drank water, and I think that was contributing heavily to the state of my skin. For the past two weeks, I've been drinking strictly spring water and green tea. I'm also trying something called the Perricone Clear Skin Diet. Some of you may be familiar with that, it was created by a pretty well-known dermatologist who has a few books out there.
So far, I've seen marked improvements. The overall texture of my skin seems smoother and healthier, I'm noticing a little less oil, and blemishes don't seem to be cropping up nearly as much. Almost every day I'd wake up to a new pimple, but now I'm almost like 75% clear, and not much new stuff to be seen. I have maybe one or two active blemishes, two small cysts on my chin which are drying out nicely, and just a few red marks and scars right now.
I hope I continue to see improvements. This diet is pretty strict, but I'm starting to get used to it now. It involves a lot of cold water fish, fresh fruit & veggies, beans and nuts...all that good stuff. Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon seems to be one of the "miracle" foods of the diet, so I've been eating a lot of that. I'm crossing my fingers that things continue to clear up. I feel better in general while eating healthy, and I think the water is doing a great job of re-hydrating a body that hasn't gotten nearly enough of it in the last few years. 
So my skin is feeling/looking better, I'm clear right now except for maybe one or two pinprick-sized whiteheads. I'm still wondering why I'm getting them, but I'm not gonna complain about them since they're so tiny. My makeup's been looking great lately also, like it seems like I'm less oily somehow? Anyways, my skin's in a great place right now and I hope I stay there!
Everyone can agree with me on this.
I HATE HOW DIFFERENT MIRRORS/LIGHTING CAN SHOW YOUR SKIN DIFFERENT!
My skin looked shitty in a mirror at a casino tonight, yet bright bright white light mirror my skin looks good. Fuckin sucks and put me in a bad mood! Sometimes I contemplate whether I wanna go to the bathroom or hold it because I get tempted into looking at myself in a mirror and getting depressed.

Exactly how I felt. I was out having a good time ready to gamble and I looked in that mirror and damn I wasn't the same for the rest of the night.

Still feel good. I'm just so close to clear and I'm so inpatient and afraid of breaking out.
I had been on 100 mg of Spironolactone for 6 months and for the first time in 14 years had been CLEAR! I didn't have to use a single topical product. But when two tiny bumps appeared I began using a bottle of Retin A Micro that I had in my bathroom. about a week after using it, I broke out, and somehow wound up with 17 active pimples on my face in less than four weeks. My dermatologist told me to keep using the Retin A, but I have been in tears for the entire week, unable to sleep or eat because of the stress. My face was sore for a while and I would wake up in the morning sobbing because of the emotional (and physical) pain.
Yesterday was the first day I left the house, and by leaving the house I mean that I walked into the car and sat there while my mom got me a bite to eat. I keep hoping that these pimples will leave and no new ones will come, and the breakouts are getting less intense. I just can't stand the marks and the fear that these pimples will continue to come. To have acne at 25 is emotionally crippling.
I also called off work for the weekdays, I just have the next three days to contend with.
I know a lot of you are in the same boat and you all are in my thoughts!
Oh Lord, I haven't been on these boards for ages. I'm back because so is my acne,lol. I've stopped taking my pills and I got acne on my chin. Nothng surprising though, that's how it's supposed to be. Im back to the pills and clear again, yay. And I feel my best today with smooth skin,nice makeup on and hot outfits.
I spoke too soon....almost seems like a (small) pimple popped up on my face overnight. I didn't even notice it this morning, so maybe it even came up during the day. I accidentally scratched it while I was unpacking my room and it popped 
Thankfully it doesn't look like it'll leave a horrible red mark or anything, but I'm tired of these things!! I'm wondering if my makeup is making me break out, but make up's never had that big of an effect on my skin. I might try and wear less makeup these next few days and see if that makes a difference. Other than that....I REALLY hope my skin stays under control. I'm feeling happy about it right now and I'm just so scared I'm gonna lose that :/
We may look bad in the

Our skin may look bad at school bathrooms, but that's cause the lights are above the mirror. I am sure our skin won't look like that in a classroom.
Not a good day. Couple spots forming. Idk what's happening and I'm not feeling good. Fuck. I had a great 10 days and now I don't feel good. So upset? Guess I haven't been eating the healthiest lately. Maybe I really do need to follow a strict diet. It's so damn hard though.
Starting to feel a little stressed / worried about some of the assessment items I have for uni. It's only the anatomy course that has me feeling like this at the moment because I find it so interesting and really want to do well with it. It's just a lot of content to learn. Hoping I can control the stress a bit and also hoping the stress won't affect my skin...
Fingers crossed
