Its been a difficult two years for me...struggling with acne, my life, my self esteem, depression....ive let my life just turn to shit because I cant deal with my breakouts and going out like this. whats worse is im not a teenager but a 33 yr old mother..whose daughter is probably looking at her mother like a weakling. The minute I gain some kind of confidence back I eat something wrong or just out the blue...I get another bad breakout...and im tired...tired of having to deal with acne at my age. All my friends have left me moved on with their life and im just stuck in this acne ridden world of unhappiness

Mental weakness does not exist. Ordinary children don't think their parents are strong or weak. Little children are too busy with themselves to do that. I think you see yourself as a weakling and you project that to your daughter, but your daughter is probably not doing anything like that.

At least you are getting relationships and stuff. There are people over here who are (almost) completely socially isolated, like me.

You need to focus on HEALING! Your thoughts create everything!! That's how the universe ebbs and flows.

If you're thinking about what you don't want, that's what you will get.

Take 5 minutes out of everyday to close your eyes and feel GOOD about your body healing, this is the best thing you can do for yourself.

Thoughts and feelings become reality. Much love!!

I would recommend taking accutane.Have you considered it? It's the best thing I ever did for myself.

From personal experience, it's amazing. Do not use ANY chemical creams on your face.just wash your face with a very gentle cleanser and moisturizer, take accutane for six months and you will be FREE OF it.You'll get through this!

Positive mindset changes your life.And accutane is a life-saver.

I read your other post about your daughter thinking your a weakling, that's not true.

Be strong for yourself and her and stay positive!!! Nothing in this lifetime is permanent.

You're going to grow and learn so much about the world and yourself through this struggle.

I did. Acne was the worst and best thing that ever happened to me. It changed me for the better as a person.

I would recommend watching the movie "The Secret" on netflix.

 

XX!!!! It gets better babe

I know how you feel. I never thought my life would be socrappy at age 31. I can't work much or form relationships with people, and like you self esteem is dreadful.

It is nice you have a daughter because having someone you are responsible for inspires you to stay strong i think.

People with acne are not weaklings. Just stepping out of your home into the world is sometimes a huge struggle and when we do it that takes great courage.
