Acne is making me depressed

So I've always had nice skin and in the last couple of months I have been breaking out badly. I've been using persa gel 10 for the last almost 4 weeks and it has improved my skin a little but I still break out. I actually popped 3 acne cysts, and lots of pimples and I just hope that it won't make me have more breakouts.

I'm just depressed about it all. I want to stick with a gentle cleanser (cetaphil), persa gel 10 (10% Benzoyl peroxide) and a moisturizer but I just don't know if I should stick with it. Should I keep using it and wait to see results? It's been almost 4 weeks. I don't know what to do. I feel so depressed about it

I feel the exact same way. I'm 20 and luckily have had good skin all my life until this month when I broke out horribly with over 100 closed comedones... It's really confidence crushing. You just have to try to stay hopeful :/

I know sometimes acne makes me look back at my life and think that I've had it so easy until this point 
you're going to get through this & probably come out with a lot of confidence!  You care about your skin way more than anyone else - because you have so much more to offer than a clear complexion. It's okay to be down ! But you'll be ook acne doesn't make you a freak!  There are billions of us :D
