   i am new to the group so i haven’t read many of the messages yet. so
   i’m sure it’s something all of you have heard or experienced
   yourself, i apologize. i just need to vent a minute. i’ve been
   battling this horrible breakout the past 4 months now, i know, cry
   me a river only 4 months right! i’ve dealt with acne for years but
   it’s always been super mild up until 4 months ago. i feel i’m going
   to lose it any day now. i believe that acne is the worst possible
   thing anyone could possibly experience in life. truly and honestly!
   i hate going out in public, so i’ve become as much of a recluse as i
   can be. i’m married and that makes it even harder trying to explain
   to him that the acne is causing anxiety and depression. and he’s
   there trying to understand something he’s never experienced himself.
   also just the fact that i have to let go of my pride enough to just
   talk about it in the first place with him. i cry everytime i talk
   about it with him. luckily i don’t have to have a job so i don’t
   
   have to leave the house unless forced to. it’s humiliating and it’s
   ruined my life! i’ve tried everything all the lotions, potions,
   prescriptions, blah blah blah. i know acne comes from the inside
   and i know that my hormones are so imbalanced and i know things
   aren’t right with my body. i’ve been trying to get pregnant for 3
   years so there you go. something isn’t right. i’m not quit sure
   what i expect anyone to say or tell me. i’m just looking for support
   so i don’t lose my mind. i used to think that acne was for dirty
   people, people that didn’t care about the way they looked. now i
   know that’s not the case. i have a tremendous amount of sympathy for
   everyone that’s had to deal with it.
   i’m 24 and my whole life i’ve been very confident and i felt that i
   was beautiful. i’m not trying to sound stuck up at all. i just knew
   who i was, i was the all american girl and girls wanted to look just
   like me, now i don’t know what happened to the real me. i’m on a
   downward spiral and i need someone to shed some light on me. no one
   deserves to have acne no matter who they are!!

   Hi Brittany

   Well..I know that stress does play a role, as well as hormones, and chemical
   inbalances and such. I dont know what Doc’s you’ve seen or tests you’ve been
   tested for for those things. It may be hard right now, but your stressing is
   going to make it worse. There is a lot of advice on here. See if you find
   something you havent done. I know my hormones are wacked. but I’m taking my
   perscription (autoimmune hypothyroid or Hashimoto’s disease). I’m going to try
   that fat flush diet in order to ‘detox’ and get healthy from the inside, so that
   it may help on the outside. Just one thing though. Dont give up. Hang in there,
   and try to not stess so much.

   Hi Brittany,

   I know acne can be aweful….I hope you find something that works. I just
   ordered online some retin-a that I’m starting to try right now. I think if
   this doesn’t work then I will go to the doc and get some tetracycline because I
   think that works for a lot of people, and it is cheap.

   Lisa,

   Thanks! i totally understand what you are saying and believe you. i know that
   no one cares about my acne as much as i do. my biggest hurdle is when i see
   people that i haven’t seen in awhile and they probably think, "wow! what
   happened to her! it’s about time something brought her down from her pedestal!"
   they aren’t saying that to me but i believe and make up that that’s what they
   are thinking and saying when i’m gone. i think it’s probably because that’s
   what i would have said about someone in high school. that sucks! it’s come
   back to me! i think i was a very judgmental person before this hit me. i guess i
   need it to be a lesson well learned!

   So your acne passed? i can’t wait for mine to go away. i’m so glad i found this
   group. it’s been a real help. thanks to people like you who care. thank you. i
   will get passed this somehow.

   hi..
   my acne was also cystic and nothing from the outside helped.i tried to overcome
   it for 13 years.i couldn’t cut any of the food because i am an anorexic person
   already(i hate eating.if i don’t struggle for eating,i can’t eat anything.so i
   must try to eat whatever i can.)at last a dermotologist treated it with
   "roaccutane" pills.i had a serious depression before taking those pills.for two
   years i didn’t have any…

   Lisalaw -
   That was beautiful! You are such a caring person, and your encouragment
   made it easier for me to go out today too! I’m having one of my many
   "breakouts" that make me want to hide from the world, but I didn’t and I’m so
   glad. I
   am very vain, and I advise anyone else who is to get some good makeup - Almay
   green concealer works wonders to cover redness, and Almay Clear Complexion
   over that pretty much makes my face look flawless (follow with a light dusting
   of Almay Luxury Finish Loose powder to set). All these products are
   non-comedogenic (won’t break you out), and have given me a life - take
   advantage!

   Also, for those of you wanting to add more fruits and vegetables to your
   diet, but don’t really like to eat them or don’t want to spend $10/day on the
   recommended daily amount (9-11 servings now!), I know of an awesome company that
   
   juices them, removes the sugar and water, and puts 17 of them in 1 pill!
   Its helped my health tremendously! Write me if you’re interested.
