Currently, I am drinking, and on my way to being drunk as intended. You see, I'm not doing "this" because alcohol tastes good or I because I have an addiction. I drink socially is all on occasion- never to stupor. No, this is to release endorphins that will shall we say.. elevate my mood a bit...much needed.
My ex never commented on my acne really. Never really cared. I guess that's noble and good quality of her. But does not excuse her for using me as she did;two years and I have nothing to show for it.b!tch.
Moving forward here, I'm starting a log/blog for my results of 1) no masturbation or sex until well ...marriage? Certainly the next relationship I have which seems as dim as the farthest star..I do not see it happening unless by divine intervention.
Secondly, I started using Derma E's tea tree oil cleanser and Aztec healing mask clay thing with ACV. I will be starting the clay in the am (i work noc's) with the cleanser in the day time.
Seen a post for lactoferrin pill. My try it. Idk.
Anyway.My short history: 24 y.o male who works strictly nights keeping those under my care alive and in some cases comfortable during the dying process. battled acne since 17 and have tried numerous OTC and prescription products that have failed in long run. I eat relatively better than before with fresh produce, greens, antibiotic free chicken, limited beef, drink coconut water, fresh fruit smoothies on occasion and with the exception of now, no alcohol.
Day 1 i have 2 active areas with redden marks left from previous breakout. wish they would fade faster...
..and i haven't had sex in 1 week to be exact.
We all have our break downs. I had mine; I needed to just let loose and not give a f@$# for real and that what I did.. Even left the burner on the stove after I got the hair brained idea to make an omelette. Thankfully I returned somewhat sober to my residence hours after and caught it before going to bed. Feeling better I think.
This tea tree wash be quite strong. I find it easier on skin when I use cool water. The mask I will probably do in the am and then sleep before work.
I wish I could get away from dans BP for the active spots but I can't think of what would work to help them heal faster.
It always leave me with redness as well. Plain tea tree oil does not work. Sulfur is a no as well as zinc. I've tried SA products but they alway seem to make it worse. Idk.
Such is life. I could get another prescription for mino and benzoyl peroxide+clindamycin cream but that is short lived.
And that's day 2
Work had been steady and it doesn't help that I eat anything in site at times.
I like the acv Aztec healing mask. Compared to other masks it doesn't burn or sting. I'd like to alternate it with a acv toner. Some sort of astringent that I could use after shaving besides witch hazel which does not like my skin. I'm thinking on the lines of aloe vera as a diluting agent for redness, I need a moisturizing base too. Idk currently one spot is healing. Another stubborn small bump appeared but is staying down. Just needs to stay that way and go away.
My work friend seems to think I just need to "let loose" and not care about women and just travel. I need to spend time with myself, love my self as she says. She may have a point. I still think traveling with someone to places is better. But the care free part I may just need to do. I am independent either a care free attitude but I guess I am worrying about my future too much.... But I want kids I say.
