About Me
hello...There's a lot going on right now i my life.. but most of my stress comes from how I feel about myself inside. My anxiety, depression, nervousness, constant worry, inability to be comfortable in certain social situations, and even my acne, cause me to hold back a lot in just about everything I do. I feel stuck - as if I'm fighting this constant battle inside between who I am and who I want to be. As a result, I hold a lot inside and often let it build up until i break down.

Support Groups
Close Acne
i've had acne since the 4th grade. i hate my skin and i have yet to find a remedy to clear it up. i've tried everything from accutane (which left me with scars) to birth control pills. I am very self conscious about it and it just makes everyday life more difficult... im hoping to find others who understand and can offer advice and support. feel free to chat :)
Treatments
- Accutane Somewhat Helpful
- My face broke out very severly, so much so that 90% of my face was completely covered with cysts, blemishes, etc... i was told it would do this and all of it would come out at once and then I'd be clear forever... 10 yrs later and my skin is still really bad and I have scars from my experience with this product. I don't know, however, if my skin would be even worse today if I hadn't tried it.
- Benzaclin Working / Worked
- Benzoyl Peroxide Somewhat Helpful
