Posted in Roaccutane Diaries

iam starting roac next month and iam feeling abit worried about the side effects (depression) ive never really been a depressive person but recently i have split up with my boyfriend after 3yrs, he went off with my best m8 and like anyone would be iam feel very low and scared that taking roac will make me worse.

iam determind to get rid of my acne its been a big problem in my life for about 7yrs now. i have no confidence and always feel people are staring at my skin, also i have it on my back so never in my life have i gone out showing it nor wore a bikini even on holiday i avoided the beach or the pools.

My skin is not oily nor dry, somedays i can have 3spots the next i can have about 30 with huge boils on my chin. my doctor wouldnt refer me to a domotoligist i had to pay myself which is costing me alot, but iam glad most of you have had sucess and there is people out there who share this with me as ive always felt when im in a crowd of people im the only one looking ugly with my spotty face.

i would like to keep in touch and share with you all how it goes. sarah x

Try to be positive about your treatment. It’s something you are doing for yourself, not your ex or future boyfriends. I’ve had Roaccutane in the past and for someone who has suffered with skin problems for a long time it was a liberating experience. It can make you feel on top of the world, especially if you are the kind of person (like myself) who thinks everybody is looking and judging you on your skin, however unreasonable that may seem to other people.

Depression is an illness which can develop though no obvious reason. Although you are understandably feeling very low at the moment it isn’t necessarily going to lead to depression. Particularly, as you said yourself, your not usually like that. Good luck with the roac, hope it does the trick.

fingers crossed my acne will clear up, ill be getting my first prescription on the 18th of march and i cant wait to wake up in the morning without dreading looking in the mirror.
Adele i also feel like everybody is looking at me and have no confidence but once the treatment is over, i know i’am going to feel like a different person on the inside aswell as the out. As for the ex boyfriend i deserve much better but for the mean time im going to concentrate on getting clear skin rather then think about him.

it’s so nice to know i can talk to people who suffer with the same problem, i no longer feel alone x
