I just washed my face, and I'm happy to see that the left side is finally clearing up. Knock on wood. My right side, still painful.
Feeling pretty crappy in general. I can't handle 2 rejections in 2 days lol. I went on that date, and technically I didn't deny him, just was honest, and he walked out on me, and then sent me a couple of texts and one of the texts said "whatever, you're ugly and a loser anyways"
lol, I was like, no shit dude, we don't need to point out the obvious hurr, but what does that have to do with this situation? He probably saw my bad breakout and was grossed out.
fuck relationships for a while and people. i don't need it..
if that was how he reacted, you don't fucking need him anyways. seriously. keep your head up
he sounds like a self-entitled grade-A asshole.

a lot of bumps on my face that feels dry.... i trimmed my nails way back so i can't pick anymore..... aarrrgghh
i need to stay away from mirrors coz' i might end up punching it.....
i hate my face!
Feeling pretty good today. Face is totally clear, got a spot on my back and a couple of minute pimples on my arm but it is winter and no one is gonna see them so who cares! Got a nice weekend lined up. I do voluntary work on a Saturday for a local charity. It is customer facing which is different to my normal weekly job and I find that I get a lot of positive feedback from my interaction with customers. Tomorrow I`m seeing my sister and two nephews - also looking forward to a nice roast dinner which is something I don`t normally have on a Sunday.

Excuse my language everyone but the guy sounds like a complete wanker - certainly no great loss adhpn7. His opinion is not important anyway but what he said in his text is SOOOOO not true!
Anyone out there who is having a bad day - chin up, it will get better.
I was watching the show Catfish tonight and it really struck a chord with me.
There was a big guy on there over 500lbs and he finally met a girl he'd been talking to online for over 10 years and he said life has just been passing him by and the only reason he didn't want meet the girl sooner was because he was ashamed about how he looks. I can sympathize with that guy because even though I don't have a weight problem I feel like life is passing me by because of acne/scars and I understand the shame that he felt about his looks. But he took that brave step and he finally met the girl, and that's one of those moments in either television/movies where you see something like that and it just motivates you to be better and take more chances in life too since life is so short. I don't want to be the lonely outcast for the rest of my life...I want to aspire to be something more than that, something better than that...and I just have to reach that point in life where I don't let my skin/skin insecurities drag me down so low all the time. I can be more than the scarred monster I see when I look into a mirror, I just have to set my mind to it.
I think we all deserve just as much of a chance as everyone else in life, and we just have to rise to the occasion and take those chances when they present themselves without worrying about the things that hold us back and make us ashamed. It's hard, but it's worth it.

I know how it feels!! I never dated any girls before 'till last year.. I met a total of 2 girls which rejected me. They never sent me a message afterward. I stopped meeting girls 'till I learn how to communicate better, etc. My skin wasn't that bad at all either. They didn't seem like the right one.. they both had kids..
He's a wee bit emotionally unstable lol, but I think he only said those things out of anger. Glad he did leave, Phew! Loved the part where he said He deserved someone so much better than me, blah blah blah. I'm like, mhmm. You're right. buuuut
relating it back to acne, forget what i said about clearing up, damn my skin, its breaking out more. you know the weird type of acne when it gets really hard and scratchy like you've been picking at it? But I haven't, soo it's really odd :/

It really makes me mad that people treat others badly even when acne isn't in the picture, if it's because of your acne they are crazy. You do put the makeup on really good to cover it up from what I see in the pictures, but to be honest you're so pretty that even if you went out speed dating with no makeup, even 800 cysts on your face wouldn't catch my attention or disgust me if I were those guys. Those guys are clearly not the right guys for you. When you don't try to find someone, and just see who comes into your life, that's when the right guy comes along, at least that is how it happened to me. My boyfriend isn't disgusted by my acne at all, and that's because he's generally a good person who would treat another that way, and that's how your future man should treat you! I also think that if a person has never experienced acne at all or as severe as us, that they are probably not going to be the right person to be with, because they usually do judge us and think we're dirty or infected with a deadly skin disease..and you don't need a guy who thinks that way. If you ever want to talk let me know, I genuinely care.
Feeling pretty good, not a lot of active pimples. Besides my clustered forehead. But that got a lot better after the sauna yesterday. I'm gonna start going more often. I'm also going to get an indoor tan today... I have once or twice in the past. Wouldn't want to do it more than a couple times a year, but I'm looking pretty pale and that makes the red marks more obvious.
I just want these red marks to go away. I focus on them a lot more when I'm more clear of active pimples.

What a freak! Maybe he was just upset at losing his eyesight. He must be doing to think *you're* ugly. You're one of the prettiest people I've ever seen in my life! Oh my gosh. I just can't.. words can't even... what a d*ckhead!

Here's how I look today. Safe to say I'm feeling pretty much like shit.
Nice calender and very pretty bow in your hair I want your chin shape <3
I'm feeling so so good about my skin today. It's the first day of that time of the month and this is what I looked like with only eye makeup and lipstick. Somebody thought I had foundation on! (You can still see some marks on my cheeks, but my face doesn't hurt from the spots anymore.)

They're located around your mouth. It would suck to have them on your cheeks or forehead as they leave bad scars ;\
As long as you're eating healthy and not applying chemicals on your skin, you shouldn't worry. It will hopefully get better soon
Thanks I am hopeful. Although they do leave scars on my chin, all the dark marks around the really inflamed ones are scars.
I know what you mean though, the really deep, creviced scars seem to happen more on your cheeks and forehead for whatever reason.
I can definitely sympathize with how annoying chin blemishes can be! That's been one of my major "active" spots the last few years, and I tend to get like mini-cysts or big nodules on either side of my chin. I usually use epiduo on mine, but I've noticed that it can be very drying on that area of my chin and once the pimple fades it usually leads to a red, dry patch that I gotta moisturize like crazy to get back to normal again. So the pimple heals, red/dry patch appears...it's an endless cycle of annoyance!
Wishing you the best and I hope your skin gets better soon.

Sorry that you`re feeling so bad today.
Not that it is much consolation but I have had worse acne in the past than you curently have and it has gotten better with relatively little scarring. What you have at the moment is only temporary and if it can get better for me, it can get better for you!
All the best - it`s hard but try not to let it get you down too much.
.... since i've been feeling crappy and dirty all week, i've scrubbed my face in the shower earlier... just a light scrub, some cetaphil with a little baking powder, and damn did i feel pretty light after..... i still feel a lot of bumps all over... and just hoping they would all go away!!!
pretty much preoccupied with the book i'm reading and i'm laughing my ass off....i'm pretty much in love with a fictional character...
Alex Perchov is such a first-rate guy.. i'd love to get carnal with him...
So I'm on a holiday I've been looking forward to all year and one month before it..my acne came back after had clear skin for over a year. Every morning rather than looking forward to sight seeing enjoying myself etc. I just think about my acne 24/7 and how bad it is. I felt good this morning to a certain degree but now I've gotten this massive cyst on my neck which looks sickening. Haven't felt this depressed in a while. Everyone I'm holidaying with seem to be having the time of their while I'm constantly looking depressed.
My confidence used to be a 10. I'm now a 1. I fear speaking approaching and speaking to people. I'm just praying this cysts goes away before i return to work in a month .
Massive sigh. Wish I could fast forward 6 mths
I am breaking out with small zits. I see some red spots. When I was sick, my skin was pale and very smooth. I didn't have active zits. Now that my skin is back to normal and I am feeling a little better.. I am breaking out a little bit. I think that's from eating citrus. I've been eating new things for my flu. I hated it.. I wanted to get better ;; Hopefully they don't grow big.. I am just going to ignore my skin and stop touching. I booked in sick, so they better read my message. I am not calling again and won't pick up the phone if they call. I need to catch up with school thing. I have a test in 4 days and I haven't studied... I also didn't go to class last week because of fever.
Oh well, I hope you all are doing good and don't give up! Keep posting your feelings^^
I'm sorry Laker. I really relate. Thanksgiving was like that for me. I had built up this stupid fantasy in my head that I would be clear by then and I would be this shining example of health for all my friends and family. Instead I was really broken out and just felt like a stupid failure and I could see everyone's pity for me in their eyes, which of course comes from their genuine love for me, but still, it sucks. They've all seen me suffer with this for so long and ran out of ideas to help me long ago. It's really unpleasant and awkward for everyone.
Glad you're feeling better Ghostunit. I've been ill too. Hopefully I can go back to work tomorrow finally. And by hopefully I mean I'm forcing myself no matter what, lol.
I'm feeling okay today. A lot of my bad cysts and painful pustule things have scabbed up a bit and aren't swollen and in agony like they were in the pic I posted. Still look bad but what can you do. I noticed improvements as soon as I began saurkraut again, and that happened the last two times also (I've been doing it in cycles because I keep running out and not making more in time) so I'm going to be on top of making batches now since it clearly must contain some of the probiotics I'm missing.
I also start my new (zero sugar) diet today. I'm going to try and stick to that for a few days to a week, just to kind of speed up my healing and what I'm doing with my probiotics. I feel ugly still but at least I'm not in pain. When you're not in pain, you can just avoid the mirrors and forget for a while. It's when I'm in pain and feel the cysts very time I talk or eat something that I begin to get really, really depressed.

I eat very healthy, I don't eat any sugar, just natural sugars from fruits. I can say that it does help a lot. I stopped breaking out around mouth. I usually break out on cheek now, but small zits. If anything, you should go plant-based diet, that's if you haven't yet. Well, I did broke out with some cysts on cheek which I have bad scars now , but that's because I stopped applying BP on my skin. I think they will get a bit more smaller. Scars suck ;\
Different people are different. Plant-based diets have always made me feel horrible and my acne has gotten worse. I do better on a meat and vegetable based diet. Also, I already didn't eat any processed sugar. I've removed all sugar now--including fruits.
Ohh! it was probably due cleansing, removing toxins, etc. Some people have to go through that. I went through that ;\, but it wasn't that bad. I also saw it makes people sick if they try a plant-based diet, it is normal and it shouldn't last more than 2 weeks. I get my protein from Quinoa which contains more protein than red meats. I'm actually doing the 100% raw diet. I really don't know how good the 100% raw plants diet is for acne, but I am sure it is good for skin and many other things. I do hope removing all sugars, including fruits.. works for you.
my acne is staying the same, and i just don't know what to do anymore. you know what, a part of me doesn't even care anymore. I've been dealing with it so long my face is already scarred up, what's left to save? I've accepted that i'll never have beautiful skin,
I guess i'll just stop stressing out about it.
