I have a huge one between my eyes. It's affecting my vision. It sucks.
Things are worse with my boyfriend. He is so fucking mean to me. I don't have anywhere else to go but I can't live like this. I don't know what to do.
I think that many people are complicating their lives in vain... If you ask yourself "Is my relationship making me happy?" and the answer is "No", then end it. If you doubt, then try to fix it. But the most important thing is that it's your life and you should live for yourself, for positive emotions and good memories...
We all heard about the families where wife the is getting beaten up and still stays with the husband, because she's too weak to leave, even if the violence in the family is damaging their children. Think if you would like to have children with that man - it wouldn't be nice for them to see you two fighting and screaming at each other. Maybe it's not the best example, but it's the first thing that came to my mind. I'm not the best adviser though. 
It's not true that only a person with emotional issues would be able to tolerate your problems. My boyfriend is quite "normal" and very rational, but he went through hell with me. And although he has it hard to imagine how I feel sometimes, he tries to help me in his own, down-to-earth ways. We also have a couple of friends where the girl had problems with alcohol and self-harming, but the guy never left her. I think that you can easily find someone who truly cares for you and will never be mean to you I really wish you that.
Helping counsellers so that they can help my ex boyfriend because he needs to go on his own journey right now to find himself. I also need counselling now and am highly concerned that my chance at a good future is going down the drain with my poor Uni preformance.
But hell. My skin's clear. Might be superficial, but I'll take any tiny consolation I can get. Dan's AHA is magic in a bottle.
Feeling pretty good! At the start if Accutane I was so stressed about side effects and I thought I was going to die from it in my sleep the first night I took (lol I have wired phobias about taking medicine) and I felt like it took for freaking ever to finish my first week but now it's like a normal thing that I just have to get up and deal with it. It's like a freaking adventure every day! You never know what you'll wake up to. And that's probably the part that sucks the most. I swear my kids better not have acne and go through this emotional torture. I feeding my kids all organic everything. I'm going to have the most healthiest freaking kids in the whole world lol. I honestly can't wait until I have clear skin so I can go tell acne it can go fuck itself. Will be the happiest day of my life. And then I won't be an insecure little bitch who hides behind a layer of foundation and her hair. I'm very passionate about this lol. It's how I stay optimistic. Good luck you you all! I wish you clear skin!
Thanks to everyone who responded about my issues with my boyfriend. I shouldn't have wrote about it but I was upset at the time. Obviously there's a lot of good too or I wouldn't stay with him. But I found out there are some specific (physical) reasons he's been acting like an ass lately. I don't want to get into all of it but it's basically the same reasons he's acted like an ass and been rather abusive in the past. It has to do with the medications he's taking needing to be adjusted. Chemical imbalances are of course no excuse to treat your girlfriend like dirt, but the fact that he's a really calm, sweet guy as long as his meds are okay makes me feel better because he just needs to fix it and we will probably be fine.
I told him last night that he needs to be careful. Although I love him and am understanding over his medical/emotional health situation, everyone has a breaking point. If he were to yell and cuss at me enough, at some point I would pack my bags and drive off into the night, never to come back. He apologized to me last night and said that he knows his emotional issues make him hard to live with.
I actually had a really good night last night. I meditated and felt some sort of power awaken within myself. I think it's because I stood up to my boyfriend yesterday and made it clear I wasn't going to tolerate being treated like dirt (as opposed to just locking myself in the bathroom and crying like before). It really empowered me and I decided that I'm going to get strong and deal with this body dysmorphic disorder bullshit once and for all. Instead of just doing EFT over feeling bad about my acne, I began working on actively manifesting clear healthy skin. I would look in the mirror and smile and say "wow, my acne is really healing!" (even if it isn't yet). It's amazing how powerful a feeling that is. It's like you can just try to think how you would feel looking in the mirror and seeing totally clear skin, even if you're still seeing acne. Then you smile really big and kind of blur your eyes a bit so you can't really see the zits and just try to FEEL the feeling of happiness and confidence you would have when your skin is better.
It's really hard to get yourself started doing it, but I think if each of us worked on it every day, it would manifest clear skin into our reality. I really do believe in the law of attraction.
My skin is doing well. I honestly think the blue light therapy is really working for me. Haven't gotten a moderately sized pimple in a month. I still get small little ones from time to time, but they're basically gone within a day.
The only annoying thing right now...is this little bump on the inside of my bottom lip, lol. I looked it up and apparently it's a mucocele, which is what happens when a salivary gland gets blocked. It popped on its own a few days ago but it keeps coming back, so I'm thinking I might have to get it cut out. 
It's mostly just annoying because I can feel it with my tongue. Funny how I get a bump inside my mouth when I have no bumps on my face, lol. Oh well...it could be WAY worse so I'm counting my blessings.
Not so great. My acne scars is looking worse now.. not sure if it is because of the Dermarolling... or something. They are so noticeable...
I hate this.. so first I suffer with acne.. then with scars? Grr... I know acne scars is better than having a lot of acne or redness
I been dealing with one of the worst cystic outbreaks in about a year. My supplements stopped working or I don't know what the deal is. I wonder if there is anything deeper than rock bottom cause that's were I'm headed. This will be my 9th year dealing with this. I feel numb,confused,drained,lifeless,depressed,miserable,sad.
....yep..... still breaking out..... and it's freakishly hot here.... my face is soo red and itchy......
i always have to remind myself... NO PICKING NO PICKING NO PICKING NO PICKING
my face feels bumpy and sandy esp in the forehead area..... i'm betting that's dry skin and whiteheads alright...... i just keep on hydrating and stuff....

Have you tried chem peels? My scars are getting more shallow every week. There were some pitted/crater/cavern type scars (not sure what else to call them, basically when multiple pitted scars join together and make a grand canyon looking indention in your face) on both sides of my mouth because I break out there sooo much over the years. I've done a month's worth of chemical peels and they are almost gone on one side and way less on the other.

I'm sorry. I know the feeling, believe me. I've talked before here and in the diet forum about how it seems to me that everything stops working after a short period of time. My only solution to this is to get a few things that kind of work and rotate them so your body doesn't get used to anything. And always be trying new things. It seems that whenever I try new things, I get periods of clearing but only for a few days.
My skin has been breaking out this week a lot more than it has been for the past month. The supplement I'm taking really seemed to be working but now I'm not so sure... I'll keep taking it though because this breakout is probably from something else... My emotions have been all over the place lately - I've been depressed, anxious and stressed, my dad was in hospital (but is home now) so that contributed to emotions being high but not the only reason. Haven't been eating as well as I should and I've had a few peanut related foods in the past few days and I think peanuts tend to break me out. Also been wearing makeup recently after not wearing it often at all in the past few months. So a lot of things that could be causing this breakout. On the chin they're painful, and plain annoying everywhere else - but especially along the upper lip - I never breakout there so it's weird for me.
It's so hard to pin point causes for acne - everything seems to be a cause and nothing seems to be a solution.
Alright. I actually couldn't careless about acne anymore. Its just the frigging marks :I
Anyone know anything I can do for them?
Home made remedies???

Try some immune boosting foods rich in zinc/beta carotene, vegetable juice and homemae kefir.
Today I met someone who really inspired me. As I've mentioned a bit before, I clean houses as one of my day jobs. This lady I cleaned for today (and I mean this in the nicest way possible) was not what you would consider an "attractive" woman. She was a bit older, maybe a little overweight. Not very feminine looking or anything.
But this woman, she was just literally oozing with positivity and kindness. But not just kindness toward others, a genuine sense of happiness within herself too. You could feel it just being in the room with her. It honestly almost brings a tear to my eye, thinking of how she was. She had a little dog and cat and was so kind and gentle with them. She was telling me how she adopted the dog from a bad home where he was neglected and had been working to make him feel safe and secure again. Just the way she was... it was so inspiring.
I am like a supermodel compared to this woman, if one were judging on the physical. Even with my acne. But inside, this woman and her energy was about a thousand times more beautiful than me or most other people. And although I could still see that physically she was no supermodel and never would be, her inner beauty really did make her beautiful on the outside too.
I don't know, being around her just did something to me. It made me more determined than ever to stop being so superficial and KILL my body dysmorphic disorder once and for all. If she could be that way without being physically perfect, then I could too. 
Like a scarred monster. Don't think i can do this anymore.

Thank you. Just don't feel like I can fight this anymore. acne, my skin, it's taken away so much. I feel so deeply depressed. I despise my body for what it has done to me. I don't even feel human anymore. Feels like something really weird is happening inside me, seems to go even beyond the acne.
I don't even know why i'm saying all this. I guess because no-one will judge me here. I keep thinking i'm in some kind of nightmare and every night i go to bed hoping i might wake up and that this isn't actually happening.
I've isolated myself. I can't even remember the last time i felt happy.
Even if the acne goes the carnage it has left on my face...well it's craters. Looks like parts of my skin are missing. How can this happen so fast. I'm so tired of it now. For everything it has done to me and for all the suffering i have endured with medication after medication. How much more must I suffer for this? Next it's Roaccutane. I'm severely depressed so god knows what that'll do, part of me doesn't even care. acne has taken so much now, why not let it take everything.
It really cuts deep, last year i was happy, in love, playing music, going out now I'm sitting here in front of laptop night after night trying to figure out how to get this shit off my face and how to actually reconstruct my face - i'm not even kidding. Friggin crazy to think i'm actually looking into ways to rebuild my skin. Ridiculous, no one should have to go through this.
God damn I have lost control over my face all hell as broken loose, my entire face is breaking the fuck out, I just want to lie down and never wake up again.I don't know what else to do anymore or what to try. I hate being the only person in fuckIng college with this shit on my face everybody has perfect fuckin skin and I have to deal with this shit every fucking day. What is the point of my shit life. I dont belong on this fuckin planet. Im back where I was 8 years ago if not worse. It's a shitty shitty feeling, don't wish it on anybody.
Like a scarred monster. Don't think i can do this anymore.

Sending love to everyone who is hurting right now. <33
