Im pretty sure I am not the only one who gets really depressed and mad at myself for my acne. I am a 14 year old about to turn 15 in April, I'm Youtuber on a journey to a spot on the stage of fame and having acne its hard to hide it in videos. Well I am always sad/depressed about it because people on omegle call me ugly and Skype and other around the normal world video chat websites.

I do tend to get suicidal once in while but, then I remember I have a twin in heaven who would be angry if I did kill myself. At my school people tend to outcast me kinda and then I have a few people that actually accept me for who I am.

Before my great Anorexia battle and Acne I was a outgoing person! Now Im a laid back lazy person who loathes on the internet and dances out of boredom, has a relatively messy room and cares only about her friends and family and career and nothing about herself or dating life.

My question: Is there anyone else out there who has these same feelings because of acne? And does anyone else feel depressed and suicidal most of the time.

Hello Cecilia,

I'm sorry to hear that you are having difficulty in coping with your skin condition but you are not alone. A lot of people with acne do get into depression and low self esteem and not surprisingly, I used to be one of them. Some are even bullied in school which makes their situation much worse. However, there are lot of treatments available in the market and there are even some home remedies that some people claim have worked on their skin. I would suggest that you consult with a skin specialist for the right treatment for you to control and even get rid of your acne. Best of luck!
