Hiya, I've just finnished reading what you had to say about the way you feel, and it acctually made me cry, i'm an 18 yr old female, and have pretty bad acne, on June of this year i overdosed on Amatryptaline and almost died, the reason for me doing this was due to the fact i hated my acne and scarring to much, but no one seems to understand, it's like they think i'm mad! but i'm know i'm not! after trying to commit suicide, (AND FAILING!) the docotor then reffered me to a dermatlogist, but he decided against the idea of puuting me on Roaccuatane, he thought it would make my depression worse! i pleaded, and pleaded butb was unsucccesful in getting him to change his mind! i was totally gutted! now......4mths later my acne and scarring is far worse, and i hate it! i feel as though i can no longer go on living like this! i'm in so much pain! and it's all down to looking like a freak!!!
Every nite, before i go to sleep, i pray that i wont wake up! but it never works, i can't see myself lasting till the end of the year, but i hope you do. My ability to cope is waring away fast.
