I already have depression, suicidal tendencies, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Living my life is already hard, but now with sever acne and a ton of acne scars its become harder. Ive become alot more depressed and i have no self confindence at all. All I think about is my face wherever i go. I stopped hanging out with ppl. No one understands why im so obsessed over my face. But everywhere I go ill here someone comment on my my acne scars and how much it is. It drives me nuts. Sometimes I wish I could just rip my face off. Its really depressing to live with this face. I cover my face with my hair but that isnt helpful. How do I get through this? I have a gap in my teeth too so when i look in the mirror im disgusted. I guess i have a baby face and big eyes so I could look worse but still. My face is making me not want to live. Im too poor to buy the good acne treatments rn. I dont know what to do. I stopped going to school when Im supposed to. This is a serious problem. Im so upset and I feel so so hideous. That profile picture of me is a picture of me with my face slathered in make up. Ive become more irritated. Ive lost motivation for everything. I dont know what to do. How can I live like this? How do I fix my face? How is anyone ever going to love me? Acne is destroying my already broken life.
We all go through a phase like this where we feel acne has taken over. I used to not wanna go out, hide behind my hair and my whole revolved around my skin. This was something that went on during my high school and college days and it was a definite waste of time. I wish I had been more adventurous. I wish I had gone out more and experienced all the things my friends did.
Now at 27 I have cleared my acne...it was all because I found the right products for me. I understood the cause of my acne and didn't give up on trying to control it. You can do this too! Maybe it won't be right now...but you eventually can.
Focus on school and other activities to distract you. Surround yourself with people who won't give your acne a second glance. And eventually when you have the means...you can find the right treatment for your acne.
