I get suicidal because of my acne. My acne gets in the way of my everyday life, it gets in the way of me seeing friends, going to school, or even seeing my family. I won't even leave my room and I often just turn the lights off so I don't have to see myself. It all started in grade 6, i use to get acne here and there but it was never a big deal. Starting grade 8, It got severe and I went on accutane. Although the pills worked at the time, after a while it all came back. after a year seeing my dermatologist, I went on accutane again (the second time) and it worked, but once again getting off the medication it made it come back even worse. My face was inflamed and I didn't know what to do so i went to another dermatologist and told her about my past with accutane and she prescribed me accutane again!!!! (this is the third time!!!!!) so I said why not maybe the first two times i was doing something wrong. so i took it and my skin looked good, but its been a year since I've taken it and all my acne on my face came back worse, and i even got acne on my chest and back. Occasionally I even get them on my neck. I have a prescribed creme that was working good but after a while the effectiveness disappeared. I feel like my whole life is just battling with acne. I get so depressed because I've been on accutane 3 times nothing will ever work for me. Ive tried absolutely everything and everything just makes it worse. I am badly insecure and I don't even want to do anything anymore. My acne makes me suicidal and I don't know what to do.

I can't say much to help... But know that i'm thinking of you and sending my love.

i'm in very much the same position.

severe acne last year... Was suicidal. Cried everyday. Never went out. Stayed inside the house for four months. My career stopped. My life stopped... I even wrote my suicide note.

Went on accutane and it cleared up. I was happy, ecstatic. My life was back! I got an awesome job, was socialising, out all the time...

it started coming back .. My doctor put me on a booster course of accutane for another two months before i moved country..

didnt work. Now i'm across the world in a foreign country for work with very bad skin.. I cry every day again and only leave the house for work. I'm noticing that i'm falling back into a depression.

Im sending hugs your way.. Hopefully it'll all start looking up soon.. For both of us. What is your skincare routine in the am/pm?
