In Reply to: Acne scarring,self esteem and Roaccutane!!....Does it make us unattractive to girls? posted by Darren on July 23, 2002 at 14:37:53:
hey everyone
im nearly 20 and i too have been suffering from acne for about 5 years. My acne never used to be that bad, it was something i just put up with at high school,. went on roacctuane in high school but it didnt work. a couple of years after high school my pimples were tolerable but decided to go on Diane_35 to finally clear them up.DONT DO THIS! the first 2 weeks i couldnt believe it i was so clear to cried in the mirror everyday beacuse i was so happy, life was great and i went to australia with a friend for a hoilday. about a week after i was back i started breaking out in horrible acne all over my face, and even the smallest touch of a pimple turned it into a huge, red, bloody and flakly mess i had about 15-2o of these huge messes over my face that just wouldnt go away. i totally broke down. i spent christmas day by my self in my room with the curtians shut just like the 2-3 christmas' before that. All my frends went away for a huge holiday at new years, and i stayed in my room newyears eve. Didnt really come out of my room for my birhday or anyday for that matter. I have learnt my lesson about going on the pill it had the opposite effect. I am now back on Roaccutane but havent seen any changes set. i am so depressed, my entire face is scared greatly, i am so oily yet so dry and have many pimples. I just hope this time roacctuane will work this time as everyday i am thinking dying would be the best way to get rid of this. i spent so much energy on trying to cover it up and hide it from people. I have lost most of my friends as i am constantly hiding from them. I really cant deal with it and i dont want acne to kill me, but at this rate i think it will.
i just wsh one day i could get up, have a shower, get dressed and go to the beach with my freiends, clear with out cluggs of makeup. Thats the only thing i want. im not vien i just want my life back
