Everyday i look in the mirror and cry. Everytime i walk into a room im alone in i walk to the mirror and stare at my face and hate it. I have cyctic acne. I just recently found out about accutane after years of dermortology visits. As soon as i found out about it though, i lost my insurance because my mother had to switch and droped mine. I dont know what to do. My life is controled by this disease. Everything i do revolves around my face. I dont eat junk food or sugar or anything that can flare acne. I always wash my face morning and night. I am using clarify an acne face wash kit.
Im exhausted. Im tired of crying everyday. Im tired of complaining about my face. Im tired of having to explain to people when I accidently tear up because Im over thinking about my zits. Im tired of my face being swollen. Im tired of the red and the sores. It fucking hurts to touch my face. I have no confidence anymore. I miss my old self before the breakout got this extreme. What do I do?
Hey lizbo, I know it sucks right now butyou've come to the right place because you aren't alone, things will get better. Maybe not right now, but it will. I was going to a new years eve party last night and put my makeup on and left the house, I then *accidently* saw myself in my rear view mirror and freaked out. I couldn't believe I was going to leave the house like that. I then went home and cried... Then I thought how ridiculous it was that I was letting this ruin my life like that. Long story short I picked myself up and went to the party anyway, I got there late due to my little episode at home and everyone was already shitfaced enough to not even look at me twice LOL.I know how ya feel.
That's sucks about the accutane, subsidisation is annoying and I really don't know why it is so freaking expensive considering it's essentially just an isomer of vitamin A derivative. Where I live (New Zealand)it only costs $30 New Zealand Dollars(not expensive)for 6 months worth of pills so it's frustrating reading on here how for some people it's so unobtainable.
So, what have you tried so far? Have you found anything you have tried has helped more than others? While accutane is a pretty good bet if you're looking for an end all, it's helpful to identify what the root cause of your skin problem is by noticing what works and what doesn't. Eg hormonal, dietary, allergies, cell turnover (genetic sometimes), oil production, bacterial and fugalsusceptibility etc).
