I have regular pimples in the center of my face (under my eyes, next to nose) and on lower cheek beneath my cheekbone, but not any on my cheekbone. I’m tired. I’ve taken Accutane twice, once when I was 16 and once when I was 21, and it takes 6 - 12 months and it always comes back. It decreases when I lower my sugar intake though. What can I do to eliminate acne forever? Retinol worked for a while but stopped, and accutane doesn’t seem to permanently work. I’ve tried everything.

Yes everybody feels rushed and everybody feels like they are on a timeline and everybody feels “old” at 12 years old nowadays. But when you’re a woman you’re on a timeline and that sucks x2. I had agoraphobia and intense anxiety for all of my life and I was just starting to get rid of it in my mid twenties. I’m not worried about being late (anymore) but I keep thinking that I have 5 years to make up for everything else and then I have 5 years before my fertility significantly declines. It’s like when you’re a girl things are nice for 10 years and then you start pissing blood and your body starts betraying you. You’re just constantly dispossessed by periods or puberty or your body changing and just when you make peace with it it’s over. I get that having kids isn’t everything but it’s a big decision and I’m not even sure about it. I should have the time to figure it out but I don’t. And then I read the post about porn watching and I kept thinking what’s the point if I’m going to decline in health and looks and seethe about my husband watching 25 year old girls online
