Re: My ACNE story

Dude I feel the same way and it's so tough especially being a young female where the way you look is merely everything. I used to use assloads of pancake make up on my face feeling the need to hide not to mention the drugs and alcohol. I'll tell you one thing though the drugs and alcohol only make Acne worse. Although I know the emotional pain is so great. I've also wanted to die, and it's all because of my acne. I feel unhuman, my Acne was so severe and the fight isn't over yet but I've found that the current meds I'm on have been working well so far (prednisone 3weeks and uh the new doxicyclin i forget the exact name). I'll go out in public and people will stare at my scars like im a f**kin freak or something. I so feel your pain. I'm tired of being in denial though, i used to isolate myself as well and as my Acne progressed i just broke up with my boyfriend because i didnt want him to see me like this. I mean there was days i'd wake up with a swollen face like i got beat up my mike tyson or somethin I had hugeeeee f**kin legion papule cystic mutha f**kas. 75% of the acne is gone but now I am concerned with the scars. Oh man i need to shut up, anyway feel free to email me I have decided to be very open with my acne and treatment and I want to support and am looking for support, exchange of ideas etc. hormones suck !
