I’ve felt so much like throwing the towel in this week
My skin is still worse than when I began on Roac and I have spots on my cheeks which is a place I never used to get spots. I used to mainly get them on my chin and round my mouth but I don’t seem to get them there anymore. Also up until about 2 weeks ago I didn’t have any spots on my forehead and hadn’t had any there for months, and now I do! It’s so frustrating, I feel like I’ve taken 10 steps back.
The drugs have been seriously getting me down the past few weeks too, so much so that I’ve even considered coming off them. I’m talking mood swings (feeling normal and then bursting into tears about trivial things), down and empty moods, irritability, anxiety, generally feeling like what is the point. There have even been cases of me crying on the phone to friends saying I want to leave Uni. I loved Uni last year - so what’s wrong with me???
I really hope by the time I get to the end of month 3 I start to see a turning point. It seems to be working for alot of people by this stage of the treatment, so why not me!?? Roac is supposed to be a wonder drug, I just hope it starts to work its wonders some time soon!
