Acne has taken everything from me.

It's like a never ending war that I've been losing since the beggining .

I lost my girlfriend. I lost my social circle.

I stopped looking at people.

It's robbed me blind.

Took my self confidence , destroyed my self esteem , removed my value.

I just want to live .

I dream everyday of that. I just want to live at least one day without avoiding people, mirrors, cameras, and public places.. I used to love people now , it's like I can't even look a person in the eye.

No one takes me seriously , my friends look at me like I'm an alien.

I hate it when they point it out . It hurts so much I can almost feel it physically.

I dream everyday . I want my girlfriend back , I want to be the same person, I want to go out , u don't want to pretend to be sick anymore, my entire life changed in a flash . I walk these streets in the dark because light of the day reveals the red rashes and bumps .

I tried everything countless medications and prescriptions.

Hopeless at this point. But I'm fighting . I'm fucking fighting so hard . It's been so long . I want to live and breathe and feel a day acne free . I don't want to be stared at anymore. I just want to be normal. I just want to be normal.
