You look in the mirror every 20 minutes to see if your pimple has gone away or your red marks have faded.

When you were a top 3 student your whole life until you got into high school, started getting severe acne, and didn't have the guts to even finish your final year of schooling.

You have to periodically change your pillow cases because the topical you use at night is bleaching them

even after you apply thick layers of makeup to cover everything all day at work strangers point out that you have acne and ask if you've ever tried this or this or this

 

when you don't want to go to work because of it and you couldn't even finish school because you couldn't stand to leave the house

 

when someone tells you you would be beautiful if you didn't have acne

 

when no matter where you go someone points it out even on your "best" days when you actually feel someone confident

Sorry to hear, but always try and remember, there is someone out there who has it worse

You are beautiful.

 

You know it's bad when you can't laugh each and every day.

i don't hope for anyone else to have it worse....so i could never think about it like that....

 

You definitely misinterpreted that, I meant you shouldn't feel so down about yourself, it's not bad once and a while, but it's only acne. You could have worse things in life

When you call in sick to work because of your face.

 

When you have to walk by the guy you like on a particular side so he doesn't see the "bad" side of your face.

 

When you cover up part of your face with your hand when applying makeup.

When you decide where to sit based on which side of your face looks better.

 

When you won't even let your family see you without first applying concealer and a little powder.

 

When you become obsessed with acne.org and spend a ton of time on here each day reading over the same stuff you've already read a 1000 times.

When you come to see ya friends ya haven't seen in 3 months and the first thing they say before even shaking your hands

 

"Whats with ya face"

 

What's with this world. People think they have the authority to point out other people's flaw. If i wanted that, i've joined American Idol

It amazes me how tactless most people are. They only seem to exist to satisfy their own curiosity.

You KNOW its bad when you took a month off facebook just to not put yourself down in comparisson.

 

When you cant even undestand why your boyfriend would even be attracted to you.

 

When you cry on the drive home after briefly running into someone you know.

 

When you miss birthdays/gatherings because of your acne and even though you dont want to lie, a lie warrants less pity than the truth.

 

When all you do is cry to your friend who has suffered with acne for 10 years and has had to go on accutane and you say "yours wasnt even that bad!!" (when apparently it was)

 

When you dont look people in the eyes anymore, at all.

 

When you pull up to stop lights and then look to your right or left and think "YES I HAVE ACNE YES I KNOW PLEASE DONT LOOK"

 

When you feel like everyone will think youre just dirty

 

When you yell at people who call into your work for no reason and then develop a reputation for being a jerk on the phone.

 

When you plan about 3 outings on the same day just to avoid having to build up courage more than once.

 

When you realize that its a condition and not a choice.

 

When you seriously think Daniel kern is THE best person in the world, OVER anyone else including OBAMA (blah).

 

When you wonder if you saw Dan if you would run up to him and cry and thank him.

 

When you the words "stupid acne" is a part of your every day vocab.

 

When you feel physically TIRED from TRYING to cope.

 

When you stop going to see your parents even though they are old and should be visited more often.

 

When you justify doing the above because of stupid acne.

 

When you tell your friend who just beat cancer "i am too depressed to go out" - i feel like such a jerk, but i really cant do it.

 

That is all!

1 for the start of the day for me,

 

When you lie to ya friends you're not in the mood to get out for the zillion time although they contacted you about 10 times to persuade ya.

 

I feel so bad rite now. fml

You spend 5 hours reading an entire 100 page thread about something supposed to help with acne.
