Zamarano 0 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hello to you all. I have been looking for a message board / forum for a while. I have suffered from acne since I was 13 and Im now 29. I have tried every antibiotic and cream going and my acne is still here. Some days are good some days are bad, but I guess I live in hope that one day I wont have to look in the mirror and feel my heart sink. I have acne on my face, my chest and my back. Recently my back has been getting worse and my face is so so. I think I have suffered psychologically from the acne and when its bad I find it hard to have eye contact with people when Im talking to them. By no means am I a manic depressive but it can get me down. Anyway I guess why I am here is that I want to talk to people who understand how I feel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daisylove 0 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi there I know just how you feel! I am 27 and I only just got clear last year! The psychological effects are still with me, I find it really hard to talk in front of a big group sometimes, because I dont like all eyes on me/my skin! I also found it difficult to make eye contact with people for ages after I got clear and I still dont like looking in mirrors that much. I am slowly getting better, but I know how hard it is when you feel like you're never going to grow out of it...glad you joined the board. I only joined recently and I was so pleased when I found it!
