How I am feeling?
Well, I realized that my face looks like shit after actually taking an up close picture of it. I am all scarred up and it looks 100x worse in the picture than I thought it did in real life/mirrors. WHY does that happen? ( I made a thread asking this too)
Thank you camera. I fucking hate you. Thank you acne. I fucking hate you even more.
It's ruining my existence. I feel pretty worthless and emotionally drained. I can barely do my school work. I look and feel terrible. I have severe depression now because of my severe acne. I wish someone would just tell me what to do and how to fix it. How did you all get clear? Who here had hormonal acne?

I have hormonal acne, but its not severe. I breakout out always before that time of the month. Does accutane help that? Would you consider taking it?

I didn't want to because of the side effects, but at this point I would try anything.

You sound like a good candidate. When acne leads to such severe depression and you feel like there is no improvement in sight, accutane is the way to go. My brother is on it now, and he was having some real bad back pain. The doc told him to stop it until the tests come back. Hopefully everything is ok. As long as you are aware of your body and get your monthly test, it shouldnt cause anything before you can stop it.

Woah woah woah! if they even get a hint she is depressed they will refuse it. Accutane has a common side effect of depression and they will not allow an already depressed person to take it.
In my opinion accutane is not the way to go. Its a temporary fix and can cause a lot of damage along the way. You need to find the cause of your acne and either supplement or change your diet accordingly. Any questions feel free to pm me
absouloutley shite. ive tolerated shit all week at work and today i just couldnt face it so ive phoned in sick, dosent matter how much i tell myself it dosent matter, dont let acne beat me or to simply tell anyone who makes any sort of comment to f---k off, it allways wins no matter what. 14 yrs you think id be use to it by now.
Acne comes from the darkest regions of hell.

I disagree with what you said because I was seen to by a Derm when I was severly depressed and he knew I was (I would just sit there staring into nothing) my parents done the talking and he highly recommended Roccutane which is the strongest stuff but obviously warned my parents about the suicidal possiblity.
I would recommend taking Accutane it litterly saved my life.
And best of luck to ya.
Back to this thread, Im not feeling so great 2day coz my back broke out yesterday and its really stressing me out....

Yeah, one of the doctors that I saw the other day did talk about how badly it causes depression, bu then jokingly said that maybe it's not the medication, maybe it's the fact that the patient has acne. I mean, if I start clearing up, then I won't be that depressed anymore. ;]
Today I feel... well, I haven't looked in the mirror yet. I'm doing my homework while multitasking on Acne.org in bed. I know it's going to be so difficult to motivate myself to take a shower because then I'll have to look in the mirror to put a million layers of powdered makeup. I can't wait until Monday (may get spiro) and Tuesday (going to see a new dermatologist because my old one sucks) and sometime next week I can start taking birth control pills. : D
Red marks from scars left on my face.
There is an ugly one especially on my cheek, so when i talk to people i tilt my head in a different way.
I'm starting to get 'forming' pimples because of stress, especially from school.
Most of my acne comes from stress at school anyway. *sigh* Whenever an assignment is due, a test is coming up....
I've been feeling alright with my acne. I go out every day, walk around, talk to people etc. just things to boost my self esteem. Then I look in a mirror and I'm like "Why did I go out today?" But, of course, I notice my acne more than others do and I've figured out it's not really my acne that's even bothering me. I think my SUPER oily skin and red cheeks/chin make my acne look worse than it really is, and I always hate feeling the oil on my skin in the evening. But then I convince myself that I make it worse than it usually is and so I go out the next day feeling content.
My skin has looked surprisingly good the last couple of days. I only have one noticeable pimple on my right cheek and a couple of lingering, barely noticeable ones on my forehead. It feels strange to look in the mirror and maybe kind of not want to tear my skin off.
But, alas, I know it won't last more than another day. I took advantage of my temporarily semi-smooth skin and shaved today, which usually brings a good number of whiteheads. Plus I can feel two or three small cysts starting to form. Probably the beginning of something big. Looks like it'll be back to the ol' grind soon enough.
Inflamed. Itchy. Horrifying.
Sad. Apathetic. Hopeless.
I can't live like this anymore. >.<
I haven't shaved in a few days. Usually I shaved at least every other day. I haven't done my nails in weeks. I haven't gotten a hair cut in months.
I'm not taking care of myself because all I can think about is my inflamed, severely broken out skin.
Awful. I'm breaking out on both sides of my cheeks and the pimples are very red and inflamed. This is getting me especially down because i have a play rehearsal tomorrow (well today coz it's 3 am) and i'm going to look crappy.. sigh well i will try and be positive tomorrow, but it's gonna be a challenge
I am feeling really down about my acne lately. It's been caused by some new medications - which just makes me double frustrated, since the medication is working and the side effect is something I thought I'd had under control years ago.....oi. I've been trying to not let it get to me but it's just not cutting it...
I'm feeling OK. Not great. But not horrible. I have a zit on my inner high. I hate that! Um..let's see, I don't have anything really active on my back. It's looking a LOT better as of late. On my face, nothing serious. I have had some tiny white heads. I have had a small on my left cheek, but that's going away. I recently got a chemical burn from dying my hair, and honestly, that bothered me more than having a zit. But then again, the attention was taken away from any zit I might have had.
Woke up and see that i Have got a huge red cyst on the side of my nose. Everyone stares at it when i talk to them. Now im staying in my room all night instead of going to play pool and watch movies with my mates.
Ordered the acne.org regime yesterday online. Will take 1-3 weeks to get here. I cant wait, it better work , its my last hope...
Today it's really bothering me. :C I bought a dress that looks really nice on me but I don't like the (mild but visible right now) acne on my chest showing. I mean, I'm hopeful, but bleh. I really wish it could just go away.
It makes me feel self-conscious about my relationship that's just starting. I worry about what he's going to think about my skin, even though he has his own (more mild) skin problems. Bleh. I know it doesn't really bother him, but bleh!
