hey all! 
(just thought that I'd start out positive).
well you probably all know because I've said it enough, but I've had acne since I was 8. that pretty much set off a chain of events that led me to where I am now: stuck, hopeless, unable to get out.
I think that all of this started when I got acne, because my self-esteem and body image went way below healthy. I know that sounds vain but... at least I'm not superficial about others? 8)
anyways, I made up this plan:
1) wait until school is over for the year, because this scheme won't work while I'm still stressing over school and my SA.
2) buy ProActiv or some kind of acne remover.
3) use it as instructed.
4) go to the pools every weekend or so (the chlorine seems to do wonders for my skin for some reason). :roll:
but mum said it won't work. I thought that maybe, just maybe, that if I got rid of my acne, I might be able to boost my confidence a bit and tackle my issues then. mum said that i have to tackle my issues first, then I'll be able to work on my acne because no stress will backfire it. :?
who is right? i really don't know. all I know is, I won't be able to get out of all this, because I don't have the strength or the knowledge to.
p.s. mum keeps on saying she's gonna put me in a mental institution and I'll be put in a padded locked room so I can't commit suicide. because sometimes, that's the only solution I can think of to get out of this, even though I don't want to die. 8O
help would be nice?
