Well today is one of those days. I need some encouragement. I really want to call into work. This breakout has me feeling very low. I want to stay in the comfort of my own home. I called in yesterday because of it. What did I accomplish from it? Absolutely nothing. I still look the same and feel the same. I hate calling in but I feel to embarrassed to have anyone look at me. I don't think I'm calling in today. I'm going to make myself just go and get through it but when you get those thoughts in your head that it is much easier to call in it's really hard to fight it. I wish there were a cure for acne. Some magic pill or cream. I hate wishing away time but I truly wish I were at least 2 weeks from now. 2 weeks is the "normal" time it takes for me to almost completely heal from whatever I'm going through. I'm feeling mighty low. I need some encouragement.
Hang in there!!! I have been there wayyyy too many times before and know how painful of a place it is to be. I did always feel better going in to work and not letting acne stop me fully. No matter how many people tell you that no one notices, it can be so hard. But they don't notice. I had a terrible breakout from starting Spiro and BCP and left me in your situation for a few months, wishing days, weeks and months by. You will get through this, you will heal, life will get better. Focus on just getting through today, baby steps. Breathe, stay away from mirrors. Dress up a bit if you can, see if that helps you feel any better about yourself. Sending you lots of positive thoughts and hugs today!

You are a fantastic person. You should not forget that.
Thank you both for your words of encouragement. I managed to get through the day yesterday. Now I have to get through today. Day by day I guess. Nothing else I can really do.

Don't you know people to hang out with?
yes I know people to hang out with but the problem is I don't want to "hang out" when I look like this. That is the last thing I want to do. Good thing today is Friday and I have no major obligations for this weekend so I can pretty much relax all weekend if I want to. That is the plan.

Why is it a problem?
