I wish I never took evening primrose oil - it gave me three big, painful cysts after my skin was doing so good.

 

Grrrrrrr! :mad:

This morning I was very optimistic. I thought I looked pretty good, and I said HECK, I'm not gonna wear makeup to school today.

 

Bad idea.

 

After gym class, my face was sweaty and my medication was rolling off and it looked nasty. I had no choice but to wipe it off and reveal my acne.

 

I made it to third hour. About 15 minutes. Before I had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom to cry. I was crying so bad that a girl went and got a teacher because she was so concerned.

 

Luckily it was my art teacher, who let me go into her office and drink apple juice.

 

I went to the derm today after that, got some drainings and shots. I'm hoping it gets better by next friday because it's PROM. I have been praying for about a month and a half, all I want is for my face to look great for that ONE day. ONE DAY. Is that so hard to ask for?

 

I was supposed to hang out with my boyfriend, I haven't hung out with him since last weekend but I had to tell him I wasn't feeling well because I don't want him to see me like this :|

My problem, is I don't care about what other people think. They can think I'm beautiful or whatever no matter what. But if I think I'm ugly? I feel ugly. And nothing's going to change that.

 

My face was doing so well. Figures, the week before prom and it all breaks loose. Haha. I'm trying hard to stay optimistic.

Today I feel like making love to my acne, pumping out some kids with it, buying a house and then pumping out some more kids with it.

^^ Go get some cortisone shots! They are... god in a bottle. Seriously.

 

My mom took me to the derm yesterday for some extractions and injections. And it's all pretty much gone now :)

 

I also realized why I broke out. I cleaned my room like a week ago, and I (like a dumbass) sprayed my entire bed AND pillows vigorously with Febreeze. WAY TO GO ME.

 

I'm thinking with some new sheets and a whole lotta love (I covered my mirror with a hello-kitty blanket) my face will be in tip-top shape for prom.

Three huge cysts all lined up in a row on the hairline right at the back of my neck. Lovely. I'm having to go everywhere with my collar turned up like an Elvis impersonator in an attempt to hide them.

 

No matter what i use to wash my hair, i always get spots there. Can anyone recommend a shampoo that doesn't break them out?

Yeah, I'm just gonna say I'm glad I can stay home cuz of summer break since I have a gnarly cluster of zits near my nose that are awful...hopefully they'll calm down or something. Eep.

 

I did have to leave the house yesterday with it/them and see a friend, which was kinda embarrassing but then I remember she's not judgmental and I shouldn't feel embarrassed to see her.

Better (: I had a couple of small pimples on my upper lip from being a bit too over zealous with Neopsorin that dissapeared with some BP. Scars are lookin' better.

 

But Ive got a new one on my chin =/ Whatever. As long as its not around my mouth Im happy.

Loved my skin the past week or so... LITERALLY like 95% clear... I was ecstatic, thought maybe this was an end to my acne problem.

 

Last night I went to bed with really clear skin. This morning I woke up with 6 new pimples. WTF? I didn't DO ANYTHING!!! Why??

 

Only one of them is fairly big, the others are on the small side, but... argh... this morning I got up and looked in the mirror (as I do every morning) and felt that horrible sinking feeling...

Been there so MANY times

 

It's a curse or something. Just as I think the zits on left side of mah face is slowly going down, i get 2 painful cyst on the right side.

 

Fuck

 

And reading about acne on the upper lip a few days ago.. guess what? Today i'm lucky enough to get it

Does that mean you'll go back to 'tane? Did it get clear on your first 'tane?

 

As for me, today i walked into the store to get some stuff feeling so shity even though there's less than 10 people in there. They were looking at me like i didn't belong in the same place like them.

 

Popped a few "kinda ready to blow" ones. Now it doesn't hurt anymore :D (for now)

I am pretty clear at the moment but super paranoid about breaking out again. :wall:

I worry about every little itch and tingle on my face. I'm pretty sure I even imagine the itching sometimes. Why can't I just enjoy it? I need to get a grip!!!
