Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

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.

Hey my friend- I hate to hear that you have so much going on. Life is hard and I totally understand how acne makes it worse. I also hate that people feel the need to point out your acne scars. What kind of person does that?? As far as your teeth, I have TONS of friends with gaps in their teeth who are still beautiful people. Besides that- I strongly believe beautiful is who we ARE not what we look like. You are a beautiful person Chainbound. You are a unique individual with your own talents and thoughts and feelings. That's amazing. Considering all the depression and anxiety, I would recommend counseling. I know you don't have much in the way of finances, but there are lots of places that offer counseling based on what you can pay. Hang in there. I know this is tough and this does get better.
