Venting!

for the past month i've been using the differin gel on my face and everyday i wake up and look in the mirror to see if there is any improvement in my complexion and i only wake to see that it got worse. i just started to cry this morning. i'm just so sick of seeing the same ugly face when i look in the mirror. i think i'm just gonna stop looking the mirror because it ruins my whole day when i do. it's summer. i wanna be able to go to the pool without having to wear makeup. i want to go out and not have to look like i'm wearing a mask. i'm just soooo sick of it. i don't know how much more i can take. i really don't. i'm just so fustrated today i have to vent. i'm sorry to anyone who reads this i just need to let it out (not that it really helps what my face looks like) but at least you understand. i can't vent to my friends or my family because they don't know what its like and it just gets me more frustrated. i give up!

Re: Venting!

i feel the exact same way! All of my friends roll out of bed, dont even wash their faces, just slather on sunscreen and head out- and they look great. I wake up an hour earlier to apply makeup that can't even really conceal how bad my skin is. It sucks.

Re: Venting!

it really sucks to know that you have done everything you can but still couldnt see the positive outcome. I'm a guy but i do suffer the same probs as you. i just want to go out without feeling any inadequate becoz of acne. i dont wanna wear concealler but just have to stick to it coz it atleast make my skin "look" better. it hurts and nobody understands it except ppl who are suffering from acne too. my friends always told me to chillout but what the hell they know about suffering from the physical and emotional pain since they have flawless skin!
