Damnit. I've got a few tiny bumps on my cheek. They look like they will turn into tiny whiteheads. Bummer!!!! I haven't changed a thing. The ONLY thing I can think of is I haven't been eating as healthy this week. Have been eating a lot of rice and meat, and no fruits or veggies. Going tomorrow to load up on fruits and veggies and gonna be juicing the next few days. Damn I'm kinda bummed. Hopefully nothing else happens!
Everybody at my school has clear fuckin flawless skin and it makes me feel lower than fuckin shit I wish I could punch everybody in their fuckin face when they give me that stupid ass disgusted look, but I don't feel like goin to jail. I will just have to eat my anger like I always do.
I hate this shit.
I felt pretty good about myself today - felt a little more confident than usual too 
My skin hasn't improved though.
I think I felt good today because I was feeling happy about how I looked, apart from my skin, when I left the house to go to uni. I wore a new dress that I bought on the weekend - so I guess that had something to do with it? haha weird, I know. Even thought a guy on the bus seemed interested in me until he had to move up the aisle way, to make room for more people, and was then close enough to see my skin. It's like I could see the interest drain from his face. It was probably my imagination to begin with that he appeared interested or whatever and I'm probably over thinking things too. Oh well. Even if he was interested and my skin made him not, then he's probably not worth it anyway?
But the good news is that the rest of my day was pretty good
(Edit - didn't realise how many spelling mistakes I made in this! I think I fixed them now though haha)
Hey, I'm new here and wanted to share my state at the moment. I can see some little pimples growing on my forehead, some little white ones on my cheek , a little red spot near my mouth and my 3 week iritations. As usual for today.
( Sorry for my bad english, I don't speak it to well since I live in the South-East of Europe )
It's dark and cloudy.. gonna rain soon. I just feel so hopelessly depressed that nothing is going to change anytime soon. I wonder what I did to deserve this
Nobody deserves something like this.
I can't tell if a spray bottle is enough to fully get the epsom salts off of my face. Does anyone here use a spray bottle to rinse any kind of cleanser/mask off their face?
Ugh, it's so weird having epsom salts on my face in my room and hearing my roommates out in the common area... can I make it to the bathroom to wash it off without them seeing? Find out next episode on... I Can't Stop Posting In This Thread.

Haha I used to post a lot too! Its natural, you can actually be open about you acne. So its super nice. 
and I suggest to get the Epsom salt off just drench your face with water from the water bottle and do it twice If u feel it is not completely off.
So basically I've been having the best weeks in a long time, started school, skin has been clear as day! Its just amazing! I just want to appreciate how good my skin looks without worrying if it will break out. If I get a pimple its okayyyyy. My life isn't over. I have a couple of little ones but and I'm okay with that. I just want to LIVE!!!!!!! WE ALL NEED TOO!
Feeling better about everything, for the most part.
Last night I opened up to my roommates a bit about my insecurities. I didn't tell them EVERYTHING (that's for my counselor) but I opened up more than I have to them before. They were all incredibly kind and supportive and even opened up about their own insecurities as well. One of my friends is a little overweight and it broke my heart to hear her say that she contemplated suicide because of people teasing her about her weight. But she told me she got through it, and I know I can get through this too.
I skipped classes today again :/ But today, despite all my insecurities I went out and rode my bike around campus to run some errands. Didn't even try to cover the cut up. I have an appointment with the on-campus doctor tomorrow cause my skin's been itching lately and I wanted to make sure this abrasion/cut/whatever is healing well too. Makes me feel a bit more in control. And to my happiness, the cut doesn't look that bad on my face at all in natural daylight. In normal light it looks a bit more obvious....but that's okay. It really made me feel better to get out of my room, ride around in the fresh air and on my beautiful campus. It reminds me there's so much more to life than insecurities and looks.
On the plus side, the cut seems to be healing. It's still obvious on my face, but it feels very dry now, like it's scabbed over or something. Which is good, because that's what happened to the thing on the side of my nose and that ended up healing within days. If this heals completely by the weekend and I'm just left with a pink mark or something, I'll be ecstatic. I can definitely deal with hyperpigmentation since that always fades. Even if I have an icepick scar from this (I've read that can come from picking at blackheads - I've never gotten an icepick scar before, but who knows) I won't beat myself up over it. I've learned from my mistakes.
It's only been two days since the original incident and it already looks like it's healing well so I just gotta give it time. In the mean time I'll cover it up with a little concealer to the best of my ability and know that one mark on my face does not automatically make me ugly.
I had convinced myself that washing my face was doing it more harm than good. Haven't washed it with a cleanser in 5 months or so. In those 5 months I improved my diet dramatically. But thinking back, I don't remember my acne ever covering my face as much as it does now. I feel like there's not a single square centimeter that doesn't have a little red bump. My face is also far more oily than it ever was. I used to get bigger zits, but they were probably caused by the bad diet. Considering going back to Cetaphil. Too bad I dumped a whole bottle in the toilet a while back.
I bet everyone in class will have clear skin.. college starts tomorrow for me. I am only taking one course and I am sure everyone will be busy concentrating 'cause it is a hard course. That's one reason why I like Anatomy and physiology. ha ha. Everyone is quiet and listening. I hate labs though because we gotta get in groups. It is only once a week, so that's fine. My skin was so bad at A&P 1 and so I hated labs. I still can't believe I let acne control me there which got me a low grade, but I saw it is enough to be accepted at a university, so I am good.
Do u guys pop whiteheads or leave them to dry and fall off? I have a bad habit of picking my face when I have even then smallest whiteheads.. and its giving me more marks but I can't walk around with whiteheads all over my face ugg.
I just posted a new thread about this in skin picking. Check it out and respond. Ivebeen getting blackheads lately and ive been picking. So bad 
A while ago I realized two things. One: most of the time, a picked whitehead will simply return as an even worse whitehead. If it doesn't, Two: a picked whitehead becomes a red mark that is much more noticeable to other people at regular distances, and takes longer to go away. When was the last time you noticed a whitehead, or a blackhead, on another person's face? I don't know if I ever have. All I ever see are people who've picked their pimples, or have scars from doing so in the past.
And yet... I still pop most of my zits, and in a crude way, without a needle. At least it's just "most" now, and not "all".

So so so true. I'm a victim of this tonight
Well today I feel quite weird, I have little pimples everywhere, not noticeable but I don't know, my face looks dirty and ugly ... Not to tell that my iritation is getting worse, I see little white skins falling from it, I have no clue what to do about it, I have it for almost one month !
just f*ck this sh*t. I was feeling good then the depression suddenly came back and I just extracted nearly every blackhead on my face and now it's full of redmarks. Gosh my skin was pretty good before I touched the extractor. Everytime I get stressed I just pick the hell out of my skin I'm going to my psychiatrist tomorrow to pick up some antidepressants. I don't want to take them but I'm so tired now, I cant even trust my own emotions because I've had depression for too long. When I'm happy I can't even tell if I'm really happy or I'm just fooling myself. And the fact that my bitchy sister has just come back home from a trip is not helping my situation
Applied some apple cider vinegar for the first time last night, slept with it on. This morning I had two very realistic dreams where I woke up to a face full of cysts. Can't express how relieved I was when I woke up from both of them. Finally checked my face a few minutes ago, looks pretty good. No new zits, so I know it doesn't break me out. It didn't really do anything for the few prominent pimples I have right now, but it seems to have evened out some of the smaller ones.
