You're a mod. It's your duty to check all the threads

When you can't have sex or masturbate regulary because it will cause you acne.

When you get a whole package of embarassment during a job interview where you almost get the job and the last interview is with the operations manager who told you that you can't have the job because you have acne.

Ouch..That just sounds painful.

When you screw up making someone's food order because you feel them just staring at you and you internally freak out.

You're a mod. It's your duty to check all the threads

Yeah, I'm a mod now, but I haven't always been, and even when I wasn't, I'd have several Acne.org tabs open in my browser. ; )

when you look in the mirror and get sick to your stomach

your counting down the days till our see your derm

you fell like accutane is your only hope because everything else has failed

you cry and wonder why why why

...when you've become such a hermit because of insecurities about your skin that you go days without speaking to anyone.

You're cast opposite a guy who's adorable and realizing nothing could happen because of your face and lack of confidence...esp. when you find out that there's a clear skinned girl and you know you've lost (I've had a rough night...=/) /// You almost start crying when your friend says you're beautiful// You ask your friends if your face looks irritated because it feels irritated and you understand why (with all the names of the glands)// You compare yourself to "The Phantom of the Opera" jokingly, but deep deep down you know how the poor guy feels/// You never look in the mirror with your glasses on/// A compliment on your skin makes you feel like you're king of the world/// Your profile pics don't show your acne because they're all bad quality and you like it like that./// You can't think of all of your "you know it's bad when..." but you have a few in mind.

when you drop out of school, quit your job, and ignore encouragements from your great-but- non-ugly friends all because of your looks (that was my week...)

I hope things get better for you man. I really do.

When you have a day where you don't think you look that bad and you plan things for tomorrow, and you look like shit and cancel all the plans.

been there done that

When you look at clear skin on your body and wish you could exchange it with the bad skin on your face.

when you drop out of school, quit your job, and ignore encouragements from your great-but- non-ugly friends all because of your looks (that was my week...)

I hope everything is ok with you. I know you can make it.

When people are suprised to see you back at school because your "away" so much.

When you love the thought of going to sleep but hate waking up.

When the make up stops giving you confidence.

When you hide on a sunny day.

When you dont leave the house on weekends.

When your meant to be doing your homework right now thats due tomorrow but instead your on acne.org tryna find a cure.

Haha.

When an acne product commercial comes on the television stating all kinds of BS and there are girls on there with SUPER clear skin, and all you want to do is throw something really hard at the tv screen because you have tried all sorts of products and they just made everything worse.

When you refuse to sleepover at a friend's house even when you really want to because you feel uncomfortable in that sort of situation and don't want your friends to see your skin without makeup.

When you don't sit by the guy you just met in a certain class one day because your skin is worse than normal and he CANNOT see you looking like this. That would ruin everything.

When you stop being a problem-fixer, and start being too worried about your skin to help anyone.

When you have a day where you don't think you look that bad and you plan things for tomorrow, and you look like shit and cancel all the plans.

This happens all of the time! It's sad, really. People think I'm so flaky now, and they don't even bother making plans with me anymore.

When it digs its way into the psyche and turns a person in a twisted, maniacal introvert who gets off on physical pain.

When you wish you had something else wrong with you instead of acne.

When someone comes near you, you turn away so they won't see your face.

When you wear a hat that covers the acne on your forehead and you feel so confident because no one can see the acne.

When you edit every picture of yourself so that it looks like you have no acne.

When you stand really far away from the mirror so your acne doesn't look as bad.

when you get down on your knee's & pray that your kids dont have to go through the pain & suffering that you went through dealing with acne

when you feel like a mutant that doesn't even look human and you just decide to leave the house and go to the store, just accepting that everyone thinks your some kind of a freak

You know its bad when you drive a different route to and/or from work thinking that mysteriously this will not make you break out.

I really do this!

you know its bad when you consider only doing telemarketing jobs for the rest of your life so no one will have to look at you

you know its bad when you consider only doing telemarketing jobs for the rest of your life so no one will have to look at you

Aaaww...

When you haven't accomplished anything 3 years later after graduating High School, and your Dad yelling at you weekly calling you a loser and lazy.
