Acne that is ruining my life.
    #20487345 - 08/28/14 03:12 AM (9 years, 5 months ago)

So I told myself A while ago that I wouldn't make a thread about the biggest problem in my life. But I feel as though I need to express my feelings and get a bit of support from some people.

My skin is so bad. I am not talking like the occasion break out I am talking cystic disgusting hurtful shit that takes over a month per to go away.

I cry almost everynight because I can feel and see my life being literally shattered, One by one the relationships with people begin to lessen and it's because I can't go out anymore. I just can't. I don't like being around my friends because they all look at me like I am an alien. I have one friend left who will always be there for me and even still I feel like I am slowly getting outta contact with him.

I can't socialize properly I act normal but can feel the people I am conversing with don't want me around. Honestly I used to be this charming, charismatic and handsome dude and I know that because my younger photo's show that. But now my face is overrun with red and I feel like every move I make is being judged.

But this really isn't about relationships or being judged. It's more about what could I do that will help get rid of the acne. I would show people pictures but I choose not too look at myself in the mirror anymore and taking a photo would be just as bad.

I do not touch my face. Only when applying my new regimen from acne.rg.
I have a healthy diet that consists mostly of fresh fruit and vegetables and then at night I will tend to have a cooked meal at night but it will be healthy because I stray from unhealthy.

I am vegan which means I do not consume any meat or animal products.
I exercise about 4 times a week but make sure I am cleaned afterwards.

I try and get at least 30mins of sun onto my face a day and meditate everynight but to be honest i don't know if I am doing it right.

I have 6 ganoderma 500mg pills a day and sometimes up the dose to 7 or 8.
I go to bed at 9 - 10:30 most nights except friday and sat.


I do not drink I have not had alcohol for over a year.
I do not smoke I do smoke weed every now and then though but would consider that helping because it makes me very relaxed.

I try live stress free but these past couple weeks have been hell and I have been on this battle for about 2 years now.

I wanna know if anyone else has been in a situation similar because I am stuck in a hole that is getting deeper.

I have done mushrooms twice and have found both experiences to bring a lot of positivitey in my life and if anything help my skin get better.

I will add more stuff later probably. Thanks guys :smile:

Nah I wouldn't knife it hahaha!

Yea I don't know I actual just went and looked in the mirror for the first time in like a week. It's looking a bit better then normal. When I first started getting bad acne I did pop a huge cyst it's still scarred.

I gotta be honest I feel a bit better after looking in mirror but it just gets worse and worse like.

Yea I can grow a mo and a goatie. I can not yet grow a full face but my father has trouble with that aswell. The new regimen thing im on I am 3 days into it this is sort of my last hope but I have heard great things about it so I am hopeful.
You guys are so lucky ya know I used to give zero shits about anything I sortta miss it aye.

I gotta be honest tdubz I noticed my skin is better when I don't shave aswell hahaha. Cheers for the positive support guys.  :cheers:

Yeah boys I am awake haha, I am using the acne.org regimen I mentioned in first post it is a 2.5 benzoyl peroxide which I have never used. It is a three step regimen, I just turned 18.


It's just coming to the end of winter here so I will be getting a lot more sun then I am used too. MY skin tends to get a lot better in summer but I want it to end.

I try to have as balanced a diet as possible and eat probably 6-10 fruit and veg raw for lunch maybe a sandwich or 2

Breakfast I usually have a high fiber muesli that has some nuts in it.

Snacks I will have some nuts and fruit, I gotta be honest every now and then I will have some chocolate or something but it's dark chocolate that I have heard is meant to help.

I still want to trip and the thought of losing that ability would suck. I would rather face my fears and have my inner consciousness tell me how wack I am and why I should not give a fuck.

Thanks to everybody who has replied to this thread. I am 3 days into the regimen and I am hoping this might be the solution that ends it as I have seen so many before after pics of people with similar acne. 

I really need to get a job but I am so worried about the people I will work with as somebody said in previous post. I don't even feel employable but I have just contacted a plant nursury which would be a dream and I wouldn't give a fuck because I would always be in nature which is where I wanna beee.

I tried accutane but when it ended it came back 3x worse and that 7months was full blown terror, I would rather have bad skin then do that again. I was playing with the darkest part of my brain.

AS far as I am concerned I eat healthier then anybody I know I am on a pretty strict diet, I do not drink carbonated shit, Only water.
I stay away from high saturated fats but every now and then I may have a few chips. I actually went over seas not too long ago my skin got so much better. I was eating average food most days like gelato and pizza (vegan though) just quite greasy food. The element of not giving a fuck cause these people would never see me again was sweet.

Thank you for the suggestions and kind words. It means a lot to me  :seriousthankyou:

*Vegan diet is extremely unhealthy long term, if you can get even 100 grams of animal protein a week, that would be great.

*8-10 cups of water a day, preferably RO filtered and remineralized, but tap will do in a pinch.

*Absolutely no caffeine, cigarettes or stimulants of any kind.


*Cut out all fruits for now and start reintroducing very slowly after clearing up (fruits that we get nowadays are pretty much sugar and water, with some scarce traces of nutrients)

*Eat mainly veggies and healthy fats (google bulletproof diet - helped me quite a lot)

*Dont overdo it with exercise until you clear up. 4x a week can be a bit much, depending on the intensity. Consider that stress is cumulative from all areas of life (physical, financial and work, relationships, peer judgement, etc.)

*Speaking of fitness, get your posture right (spine and pelvis alignment; narrow stance, toes pointing forward, don't be flatfooted; apply power from hips when walking). I'm not sure about actual physical implications of this on acne, but it sure will help you feel better about yourself, and that can translate into a drop in everyday stress.

*Do not ever touch your face with soaps of any kind. Just a thorough warm water wash once in the morning and night, and maybe once or twice during the day if you REALLY need it. This also means no BP, acids or moisturizers, I put absolutely nothing on my face and it feels fucking great.
After cysts are gone you can try exfoliating once a week with pure glycerin soap and something like a washcloth (shaving brush does wonders for me, but could be a bit harsh)


Note, ive tried just about everything except accutane (never touch that shit no matter how much people try to push it on you) and there is really no practical solution other than getting your diet and fitness straight. Not in my experience anyway.

Edit: just reread your post and saw the acnedotorg regimen. I would toss that garbage out of the window as fast as i can if i were you.





I gotta be honest man, I have been natural for like half a year it didn't support my case. I went dairy free but the cysts stayed there aswell. Chicken was all I could eat without me feeling like shit afterwards. I box twice a week for a hour and a half and then might go for a skate twice a week or a run or bike ride.


I am gonna try my regimen because I have been off these sorts of treatments for over a year and I feel this could be my last chance.

I do not agree that meat is needed in my diet. Ganoderma has all the essential vitamins I need I believe. I have chia seeds in my water 5-7 times a week aswell.

When I took the step to full vegan I stopped having breakouts for a while. Meat caused it in my opinion but thank you for your advice.

Oh I have absolutely no caffiene or alcohol or nicotine Cheers

don't be a fucking vegan then, I don't wanna hear your petty shit.

If I am going to dinner with someone I bring a plate because I want to eat. Actually where I live most people are open minded about new diets so it is no problem. I wouldn't bag on you for eating cow jizz, so keep it too yourself.

If I see my friends I bring food for me. the only time I don't bring food is when I am going to my grandparents.

You are not meant to eat like that? WTF.

:somefunnyshit:

Again, Thanks for all the replies.

I am not arrogant or attention seeking, If anything I am trying to get attention off me by being vegan. I agree Dangan doctors don't really get to the problem. I have been to the doctor a number of times and they never really help they just prescribe some shit.

Yea I try and stay off the stressed side, I find boxing really does that for me.

I am done with dietry side okay. Dangan I will give less fruit ago and more veg.

Thanks again guys for the support :smile:

I've tried accutane it didn't do it for me.

Believe me guys I have tried almost everything.

Dairy has been proven to cause cystic acne, But I can't be fucked going into details about that but if I had a single dairy product my face lights up like a Christmas tree.

I know it will get better but I just wish I didn't give a fuck.

Again thanks for all the tips.
I don't eat avocado but have been as I have heard it is good for skin. Just started eating it today.

hahaha glad I saw that answer.

I fuckin love tripping.

I do that anyway. I don't actually have a problem with my acne when I am alone but when  I am with people shit hits the fan. I haven't solo tripped and want to do it.

But yea close friends is the go for me. Cheers guys

I am hoping it is hormonal and there isn't something fucked up going on inside me hahah.

I can't really scrub my face because of how sore it is. Like I would probs be crying if I did that :/ even my pillow hurts my skin sometimes.

I will look up that soap though. I have tried accutane it was devilish

60mg a day.

its roaccutane where I am from


Yea bro don't worry. I gotta be honest this new regimen is already looking promising but if it gets severe I'll go back on accutane.

Summer usually means my skin gets a lot milder and my diet has meant that my skin has improved a lot since last summer. worst time of my life.


If this regimen is all its cracked up to be I am thinking I will be almost clear by the end of summer. I have 4 big cysts at the moment and nothing else. But redness which is said to go away in a couple weeks.

I have an acne makeup which i don't give a fuck about wearing because it makes me feel better.

Honestly I find if I feel positive when I go too look in the mirror I can see the beauty ya know.

But I absolutely hate going out in public. Most people are so superficial now days.

Cheers

Yea it is quite high for my weight indeed but the doctors told me I wouldn't get the results I seeked unless I took 60mg a day. I finished when I was told to.

It cleared it up a bit but it was not worth it in my opinion.

It's getting better atm my skin is red as if I was sunburnt but I have 1 active pimple which is much better then anything. Still have lots of redness though.

It will probs take a couple months for the redness to go down. Nothing active that is bad just cysts that are declining.

Can't get that soap where I am at bro, I am on a strict regimen atm so wouldn't be able too for awhile.

I have seen a dermatoligist multiple times they are not as helpful as everyone would think.

I am thinking about giving accupuncture a try.

It isn't even the acne that is the worst part. It is the fact that some days my mum might come in and find me crying into my pillow, she becomes so upset and takes it on board and it makes me feel like shit because I want her to be happy.
It's like a knife to the heart knowing my mum is sad about what I am going through.

It's getting better though, Sort of :sun:

All the best




I don't think it's strange I'll try find out if this is available in my area.

I have been planning to do accupuncture but I don't even remember why.

Take dried chamomile flowers, boil a liter or 2 of water, put flowers in the same pot, wait for it just to cool down a little, put your face over it and cover your head with a large towel(you're making a little sauna).
Keep under as much as you can hold, take few seconds breaks. When you're finnished apply some kind of greasy facial cream after washing hands thoroughly.Do this once-twice a week for 10-15 minutes at least.
Good luck.




I used to do this with straight boiling water a while ago, It does work. I will see if I can get a good amount of chamomile so I can do this.

Do you have GNC stores where you live (General Nutrition Centers)? I keep hearing about Tea Tree Oil working wonders. Maybe that might help. Your opening posts about your 'friends' not wanting to hang with you anymore really saddened me.
I can't believe these so-called friends could/would do that to a pal. Fuck 'em...you'll come thru this eventually & be a much better person than those dickheads who were hanging out with you...until your break-outs.
I know I'm probably 40 yrs your senior, but things like this make me feel bad for you. Don't give up, dude...you will get thru this & will be a much better person than those 'acquaintances' you had prior.





No I don't, I have tried tea tree oil infused scrub before it worked pretty good I'll see about getting pure tea tree oil.

I'm trying to get over that. It's actually okay because it means I get to learn a lot more, learn more about me, garden, experiment, smoke weeeed and it makes me appreciate the people who are real friends.

It has also made me become a better person in my opinion in a lot of ways acne has saved me from some very bad habits I had and I am glad I have learnt a lot of valuable lessons for my age. Some days I feel like shit other days I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It actually makes me feel a bit happier seeing all the people who support me even though I don't know you guys it means a shit ton to have you all put in your advice and experiences.
and just the fact that I have somewhere to put my negative emotions, Idk.

I wouldn't wish this on anyone and too the other people on here facing the same issues we will get through this!

rant over I seem to loose the plot when I type for too long... :aaaargh:

I have wrote most of this stuff in my art book I will be visiting most in the next couple of weeks if everyone else wants that I will though.

I am using jojoba oil at the moment it is in my regimen that I am starting to see results from. Sort of :smile:
