scarred23 4 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have deep acne scars box scars and ice pick scars. I used retina about 7 years ago and my face is so saggy and lopsided one cheek is sagging more than the other. Its like this happened overnight. I feel like an ugly freak. I am so embarrassed when people look at me. Especially when meeting new people, I always worry they are going to be mean cause I look horrid or stare at my uneven skin. I don't like to leave my house ever! My face use to be so full even with the scars now I look like I've reached my 60s and I'm 34. What did I do to deserve this. Please pray for me, cause I've gone into a horrible depression. I want my face back. I hate going to work looking like this. How do others handle this?

Randall Flagg 360 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I totally feel your pain. My face looks halfway okay when I look in my bathroom mirror, but when I looked in an up close mirror recently I wanted to literally toss the thing away and have it shatter into a million pieces. My face looked like the surface of some alien planet with all kinds of craters and scars and blemishes, just about drove me crazy for a few days. I won't look into that mirror again anytime soon. It is super hard just to go out and live life too...like during my worst breakouts I just wanna stay at home and them them subside and get better. It takes that extra bit of courage just for an acne-sufferer to open up that front door and go face the world sometimes. In the past few years my acne has pretty much made me into a lonewolf. I go to work, I have friends at work, but half the time when they invite me out and I just decline because social events are so hard me to plan in advance because you never know what your skin is going to do that day/week or whatever. It's tough! I wish you the best. Just remember...you're not alone in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Belmont 2 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yep, we've all been through it mate. There are times when I don't want to go out and I avoid meeting friends for drinks and events. Acne and scarring can really mess up our lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarred23 4 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Im invited all the time to happy hour and I never go because I dont want people to look at me up that close. Although the alchohol may make me look not so bad to them LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodSon 3 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I feel your pain. I normally try to ignore it but, depending on the situation, i don't make eye contact at times or let people stare at one side of my head too long. Right now I've got a big one that sprung up overnight. it's right on my temple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
