Depressed about acne
23 female
I am feeling so depressed and discouraged about my skin. I get there is worse things in life but those with acne know how hard it is. I am now getting small pimples all over my neck. I already have it on my back and face…it feels so overwhelming. I’ve had acne since I was 14. I’ve tried so many things. I’ve been on birth control and that worked for a good amount of the acne but it didn’t fully clear it… I got off BC 3 years ago when my husband and I started TTC however we haven’t been successful. Yes I’ve been to the doctor.
I think I’m just coming on here to get some encouragement and also I’m going to an event this weekend so I’m feeling extra self conscious about being in a really public setting. I don’t want acne to control my life but my confidence is so low. I feel like when family, friends, and strangers see me , my acne is the first thing they notice and probably think wtf is wrong with my skin. And yes I know I shouldn’t care what people think… I want to learn how to just be fine with having acne and accept it. But it’s so fcking difficult.
Please don’t recommended accutane.
