"Deathstar" - Hilarious.

I'm exhausted of feeling so low and helpless,want the real me back!

Frustrates me as everything else in life is good...guess me just have to plod on

x

All over the place this week, but TODAY...I feel okay. I am going on a trip soon and I hope it stays this well-behaved for it.

I feel so ugly.

my face seems ok but i found some new spots on my stomach and chest which rarely happens and some on my upper right arm and tiny bit on left upper arm.

so im not feeling too good cause the new spots but lucky my face didnt break out yet.. just red marks from before which is nothing new.

I've decided not looking at my face is the best idea.

I haven't really inspected it lately since I've cleared up a lot, I've only felt my face while washing to feel any new bumps...but the other night I was plucking my eyebrows and decided to have a good look at my face... i saw a blackhead and i thought OMG I NEED TO SQUEEZE IT 'FORE IT GETS BAAAD...well it was stubborn, I did get it out but left a teeny red mark. I thought 'oh man if it turns into a pimple i'm gonna be so pissed' I saw other blackheads and felt a huge URGE to squeeze 'em but resisted.

^^that makes me sad. I know the feeling of wanting to stay home. Also, makes me wanna have all of us people with acne go out and party it up. Have some fun, with no judgment.

Face is burning. Why is it that people think that people with acne don't take care of their skin? "just buy proactiv" wt*. You don't know anything about acne.

fed up with my face.

For some reason, my cheeks are RED, I have 4 new ones, and my face is tingling. Not to mention my skin is oily, yet there are flakes. WTF? I'm not sure what is going on with my face right now. It hasn't been this bad in awhile. So. . . . feeling pretty crappy about my face today.

Kind of indifferent. I'm not going out anywhere too soon, so I can just stay at home so I don't get seen.But when I do that I feel a bit like I'm Quasimodo

Horrible. My face is breaking out really badly at the moment and I have to be the one to pick up my little sisters from day camp all next week. I'm really freaking out about it. It's the same camp I went to when I was a kid, and for some reason I'm incredibly nervous about all of the staff members seeing what an ugly acne freak I've become. The fact that this is my first outing in months doesn't really help either. God, I'm destroying myself.

I went crawling back to topical treatments this morning in an attempt to clear up as much as possible before next week and I'm kind of disappointed in myself because of it. It'll probably just make my skin even worse, like it usually does, but I'm desperate.

On the bright side, my body acne is doing great. Better than great, actually. My back, chest and shoulders are completely clear at the moment, which is something I haven't been able to say in years. Loads of red marks, but not one active spot. I think they all decided to move to my face this week. Or maybe something's actually working for once...

^^ you aren't a freak.

I feel okay. I have a few blackheads on my face, but it's fine. I think going off my BCP was the best thing I ever did for my face.

Yeh i think the same, people without it or never had it, just don't understand what its like.

 

True they won't...

I'm feeling pretty good!

for the first time in a while

Absolutely agree, mostly they don't know how we feel. Sometimes they just come in rushing at you almost yelling: "Wow damn your skin is like f-ed up today"

But nonetheless i feel good about my skin today, now. Don't pay much attention. Thanks mostly to this forum.

BETTER.

well i've had acne for 7 years now,ever since I was 12,I avoid going out with friends and isolate myself from everyone except my Bf who is extremely patient with me,so Im grateful for that,but my high insecurities are ruining my life,I hate mirrors,mine is small pimple clusters evrywhere on my face.I feel horrible and angry.Im recently using Zineryt,after failed experience with duac and Zindicillin.my skin gets either really oily or really dry so finding the right cleansers is harder then liking hitler!

Im currently using Nelsons facial wash.Im afraid of using moisturiser.Its just getting worse & its hard to be positive,Im going to scotland with a friend in two days,shes beautiful,gets the occasional spot,and i SECRETLY dont wanna go,cos I feel out of place when I'm around others.

Thabks for the vent oppertunity.Hope you guys are doing better.

Becky.

My face is really clear, except for this one HUGE freaking pimple on my cheek. But, other than that, i'm happy as a clam.

Even at month 3 of 'tane

One step forward and two steps back

sigh

Today... Not feeling so positive

I've got something huge going on tomorrow & I NEED my face to clear

Or at least, the redness to reduce

Got clusters of pimples everywhere

& scabs

& a big one. Cyst maybe

Anyone know of makeup that helps? Reduce the appearance of my acne?

The Acne isn't too bad today in fact my face is been the best I've seen in a while
