Bit peed off to be honest. Setting off for a festival today and my skin has decided to break out. It's a only a little one but I won't be able to really 'care' for it as such since my regimen is bount to go a bit down the drain when I'm camping. I think I'll be avoiding mirrors this weekend. ):

Which festival?!

 

I want to say "you'd better take your wellies" but I can't seem to say that phrase without following it with "because you're going to be knee deep in clunge".

 

Hurry up 17th August!!!!

haha, brilliant. Thanks for giving me a much needed laugh. I was wondering which festival too...

 

I'm feeling pretty down about my skin, broken out really badly all over chin and jaw line. I have an apointment with my GP on the 17th so I'm in that weird position where I kind of don't want it to improve in case my doctor doesn't take me seriously but at the same time I can't stand looking like this. :(

 

Trying to stay positive and just see what happens.

I feel like a monster, I looked close up in the mirror today and i cried at how ugly i was. I just want to break my mirror and curse the day i ever got acne because of all the scars it left me with. I feel like im never going to get married or pursue anything in life because of the quality of my skin. I thought about dying alot, and how i just want to end all the suffering...

Frustrated! :wall:

School is this Wednesday and my skin decided to be a bitch face. I got some whiteheads on my cheek. Some small bumps all over my forhead are acting up again, and some of those reddish whiteheads around my nose crevices. UGH. god damn ,go away. There hardly noticeable with makeup unless Im in the sun, but STILL.

:lol: If I didn't know where you got that from, I'd be asking, "Where the hell is that festival taking place because it sounds like the place to be?!" :lol:

Pretty good. Trying to think less and less about my face. Its actually doing a lot better because my bf basically moved in with me. I never can pick my face because he is here and I am much less stressed. It def. has been helping and my cheeks are healing and my nose. In two weeks they might even be closer to clear than they have been in months if it keeps healing at this rate!!! My chin and forehead are another story...forehead is worse. BUT. WHATEVER :DD

I feel really good today, knowing that my regimen is working and knowing that I haven't had a huge breakout since =)

so yeah for pretty long time i was pretty ok and accepting with my skin, since well it has gotten better..SOMEWHAT? but idk, but anyway was feeling meh about skin overall, not the main shit i must stress about atm thats for sure, also was thinking all those positive ramblings like: its just skin, gotta be above that, concentrate on else etc etc

 

but then yesterday got some realitys kick in the ass for real. i was just browsing some tv chanells and randomly bumped on some local reality show. and some person there had such a skin!!! i thought omfg that skin is flawless?? but then i look more and everyone has such skin? 0_o and those ppl arent even models or anything, just regular ppl, well needless to say i was bummed

 

and now i look in the mirror, compare myself to them and lol i feel gross and disgusting again. idk its not possible to be positive and have acne at the same time, its just unreal. u can lie to yourself and think flowers for certain time but then reality will eventually put u back in place anyways hah..

 

ofc ofc ofc..if u have mild acne gtfo and be happy and stfu, but acne + redmarks + other acne shit etc, who are u kidding lol...>_>

Acne Status: Good, my little falre up settled down and its looking really nice. Makeup fixes everything

Red Mark Status: Fantastic, they faded SO much.

Face: Pissed off. Not becuase of acne, but I was stupid and used Nairs Facial Hiar Rmeover on my lip. And the corner of the skin under my nose has a red pinky mark and its pissing me off. And 2moro's the first day of school. Ah well, Ill pary some makeup works that problem out. It'd be gone in a few days....doesnt burn or crack...just red....no ore stinging from it at least. Im jsut so mad that I was stupid and di that before school. My lip hair was only peach fuzz...but I wanted to be aperfectionist for school and look what it got me...something worse. Lol. Learned my lesson:) I hope all of you guys are feeling confident for school :)

I finished a course of Lymecycline recently and my acne's coming back, slowly but surely. Left cheek, right cheek, nose, chin... Wish it would just go away, once and for all! :rolleyes:

I don't know really, probably the same medication again in a few months time. They all seem pretty much the same I guess and I think I've taken all the ones my doctor suggested. I'll see how it goes over the next couple of months.

 

I've still got Isotretinoin gel and I stocked up on that before the prescription ended so the supply will last ages. Good thing about that stuff is that it stops my breakouts almost straight away. I applied it to my cheeks, chin and nose last night and the cheeks look so much better today. The breakouts on the nose and chin don't seem to be active now so just waiting for them to heal. Because that stuff works so fast for me, it decreases the opportunities I have to pay loads of attention to my skin or probably make it worse by popping pimples, so it also helps me break the cycle I used to be in of picking my skin and popping pimples all the time.

 

My doctors instructions for the Isotretinoin were to apply it to the affected areas, but I didn't have many pimples to apply it to when I was taking Lymecycline, so I just used it occasionally as an on-the-spot treatment. Last night I decided to apply it to the whole area and it's worked well. Seems I also got the amount right because there's no redness or dryness which can happen if you use too much. So I'll just keep doing that for a few nights and see.

 

I suppose now that the Lymecycline has ended and is leaving my system, I'll get to see just how much the other things I do ‚œ reduced sugar and dairy in my diet, vitamins and supplements ‚œ make a difference. I figured that the diet and supplement thing was what made the biggest difference, but maybe it was the Lymecycline after all. In that respect, perhaps I will need to look at decreasing the sugar and dairy further and improving my diet and vitamin intake further. Trial and error I guess, but I'll figure it out.
