I swear I'm jinxing myself...Every time I mention something positive about my skin, the next day it's gotten worse. Most recently was the other day when I said I was seeing improvements and was thankful to not have cysts at the moment - well that didn't last. My skin is not looking good and I have some painful cysts again.
Trying not to focus on the bad stuff though...

haha I have the exact same problem, Lily. I was raving about how much this foaming cleanser was helping my skin, and now I've got brand new cysts on my chin and the side of my nose to contend with. From now on when I see improvements in my skin I'm gonna stay super quiet about...OR maybe I'll whisper about it, since that might not count towards the jinx.
edit: forgot to mention, I'm breaking out behind my EARS now. like seriously, what the hell is that? nobody can see it because I have long hair, but it feels so weird to have blemishes there. I hope I'm not turning into The Fly.

haha whispering - good idea - I'll have to try that 
And I think you're safe. You're not turning into 'The Fly' - well...as long as you haven't been involved in any weird teleporting/science-experiments-gone-wrong lately
I had a few weeks of no new cysts or pimples so was feeling pretty good, but this week there's been a cold snap in the UK and my skin has been shot to pieces. A load of cysts have popped up on my cheeks and behind my ears. Always the same - as soon as you get your hopes up that the might be insight, the disease pops straight and literally f**ks you in the face. It's not even the cysts that piss me off the most, (although they are unsightly), it's the hyperpigmentation they leave behind as being mixed-race and in my thirties, it can take ages for them to clear 
The giant cyst still lingers there. Otherwise my pores are significantlly smaller! (vitamin A?). No new breakouts, skin is amazingly smooth. I went abroad and forgot my Duac gel, so I wasn't using it for 4 days now and I thought my skin will freak out... No, it's just so moist and balanced...
I wake up and it's there. I go out and it's there. I come home and it's there. I eat and it's there. I go to sleep and it's there. I wake up and why the fuck is it still there.
I'm feeling great! I'm glad that I am socializing.. I attended a few events, but I haven't made any friends yet as I am not good at making friends. I am terrible at making friends. As long as I am a nice person and caring.. that's all in matters. Sometimes, I wish I was mute. There are people out there who can't speak, so they use body language to talk. Since I am majoring Nutritional science, I need to work on my communication skills as it is necessary. If it wasn't necessary , I wouldn't mind being this way 
Acne-wise, I am partially clear. I am mostly left with acne scars, but the redness is all gone which is great! I hope in the future, to do the laser treatment. It is my last resort, so I will keep trying other methods.
I came across photos from my high school graduation (in 2010) today. When I think back on high school in general I remember being upset about my skin and acne but my skin looks perfect in these photos. Maybe 1 spot. I know that was when I was using BP and antibiotics though... so that's why it looked good. At the beginning and end end of my last year of high school I was relatively happy with my skin because at both those points I was using different antibiotics. It was the time in between those two points that I was unhappy about as I didn't use antibiotics then and my skin was worse. Probably still better than it is now though... BP helped me but I don't think it ever helped me completely - I had to be on antibiotics as well to be clear. I really wish those results could have lasted.
Update: Cheeks still clear, forehead still clear, but my chin is a mess. Lots of little whiteheads and one side of my chin is all red and irritated skin where I've used epiduo too much on two cysts. Just trying to moisturize that area like crazy to get it back to normal. It's so fucking annoying because when I get a cyst, my first impulse is to treat it with a topical, and on certain sensitive areas of my skin it turns to reddish, flaking skin (usually near my mouth or chin, most sensitive areas)
So it's like even if I treat the cysts, it's a damned if you do, don't if you don't thing.
i cried myself to sleep again last night... i don't know what the heck is wrong with me. ?????
still feeling as crappy as always... i just hate it when people look at me coz i start thinking every negative thoughts that there is....
i'm afraid my brain has been re-wired differently.
I ate something different yesterday, like junk vegan food at a restaurant and I already got two new zits.. They itch a bit... I will never eat a vegan place.. I rather make my own food! 
We'll see how bad it turns out. If not too bad, then I can probably eat a vegan place occasionally without worrying too much

This is definitely a real thing. It has literally happened every time I've said something. I think in my case it happened because as soon as I felt I was pretty clear, it seemed 'safe' to try eating a fermented food again. I pretty much started breaking out immediately. So far, it's been a few days with no probiotic foods and I feel a lot better. But it's difficult to tell. I should probably avoid anything probiotic for a month or more to really see.
There's been a lot of stress lately so I'm surprised I'm not doing worse. Boyfriend and I are trying to decide (once again) if we are going to break up. I'm sick of the rollercoaster. I feel for him that he has all these terrible emotional issues but I'm trying to recover from an eating disorder and other problems. I can't get brought down every day of my life by someone else's problems too.
I just wish I could afford to live on my own. It sucks sooo bad to be dependent on romantic partners or roommates in order to get by.

This is what fucks my confidence up too. People very rarely comment on my face or ask me what's wrong directly to me. But I KNOW that even if they're not saying it, they're definitely thinking it. And even probably talk about it with other people when I'm not with them

Didn't enjoy vacations with my family as much as I wanted, due to problems with my boyfriends, new breakouts today...
Boyfriends? That's plural...
But wait...
It was a typo!
