Every night I cry so hard that I get a horrible headache and have to sleep it off.

I want to just die. It's all I think about anymore. I've never been so depressed my entire life.

I need someone to talk to before I completely lose it.

" Fortunately/unfortunately I've found out that I'm pregnant since I wrote this post :) (fortunately = yay baby, unfortunately = I can't take an acne oral meds now).

My skin has cleared up a ton since I wanted to kill myself. It's still bad, but the cysts went away. I just have some major PIH going on.

No accutane for me, but congrats with having so much success with it. "
