Its looking so much better!! Good luck with everything and stay strong!!

Hey, I just got off of 7 months on Accutane, believe me it will help you a lot!!!! 3 months is not a lot of time on accutane....wait another month and it should get a lot better. The problem with accutane is its soo slow and your healing soo slow. As far as the energy and all, try to do as much walking, running, biking, and other sports and working out as you can, it will help your acne....good luck!!

stay positive! you're improving!!!! best of luck

Yeah its easy to tell you are emotionally stressed in that picture, I understand that its hard not to be at times. I know that the image of ones self is important for the female and things that hurt your image tend to make you go into a negative phase of thinking. Try to keep look at the positive in the negative, while your acne condition still isn't where you want it to be. Its also true that the condition has vastly improved as things progressed. So using that as a foundation, you must believe that it will continue to be true.

You're a beautiful girl, even with the acne. It doesn't take that away. So smile ok? No more mopey faces.

Peace

I can see you emotionally stressed in that picture, I understand that its hard not to be. But even though your acne condition might be seen as a negative experience in your life, try to see the positive within the negative. Look at it this way, while the condition isn't where you want it to be at this time it has vastly improved over the course of these past months. So look at it in the light that your a step closer to getting rid of it.

Try to smile alright? No mopey faces, you're a beautiful girl and acne can't take that away.

Peace

keep your chin up! i know it's difficult but think about how great it will be after accutane! good luck with it all

thanks for the advice and support! hearing all of this from other people, especially people who've actually been through it, really helps me a lot!
