Re: I NEED HELP. I cannot take this anymore. :(
You might want to consider doing some type of juice fast. Some people have had good results with that. It is possible your
Acne is food related. Stress and
Depression really weakens your immune system and open you up to complications like acne. Most anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs are serotonin re-uptake inhibitors. Essentially they increase the amount of serotonin in your body. Serotonin is one of a number of neurotransmitters that are critical for your body to function properly. I am dealing with a problem(s) right now that is related to this issue, and I also have bad anxiety and have dealt with skin issues. There are amino acids you can take that help your body make the neurotransmitters. I would suggest looking into this. Right now I am on L-Theanine, L-Tyrosine and 5-HTP. These will help with serotonin, dopamine, GABA, epinephrine and non-epinephrine. Ultimately you will need to find the cause of your
Acne - it seems like everyone's
Acne is caused by something different.
I am a big proponent of alternative health/natural healing, but there are times that some people need to go on prescription drugs. My so called 'doctor' is a chiropractor that practises kinesiology (muscle testing/homeopathics). He sees lots of hardship cases, mainly people that have not been healed by western medicine. He tells me that in a small percentage of cases he recommends that they go on anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs. Essentially they are in such bad shape that they are not functioning in society and could conceivably be a danger to themself. This guy can tell whether you suffer from
Depression or anxiety through muscle tests. It is amazing. He can tell in 10 seconds or so. He can treat it, but it will take weeks to months. That is why he says that sometimes presciption drugs are needed right away. I don't judge people who take them. Just like I don't judge people who take painkillers. Sometimes it is neccessary. The reason I bring this up is that because of your extreme situation you need to consider all options, and that may be accutane. I know that is a dirty word here on curezone, but having acne causes anxiety/depression, which is very bad for the body. In some cases it will be much worse then the side effects you will potentially see from accutane. I have been on accutane several times. I had some left over and took it to my guy a few weeks ago and had him muscle test it's effect on me. It tested neutral, meaning neither good nor bad. My body wasn't craving it to satisfy a deficiency but it also wasn't doing harm to my body. I am not telling you to go on it, but I will say that it would probably clear up your condition in two weeks. Obviously it is not a permanent cure, but when i went on it once and my face cleared up it put me in such good spirits that it stayed clear after i went off of it. Again, I don't judge people who take it. Unless someone has had to deal with very bad acne they have a hard time relating to what it can do to you phsycologically. I don't want to open up a whole debate on this issue. The reason I bring it up is that when someone gets to the point of being suicidal then you may need to take extreme action. Natural is always preferable, but sometimes it takes a long time to see results. People who are suicidal may need a different approach. Anyway, good luck. I can tell you honestly that I know what you are going through because I have been there myself.
