Q: Most Depressing Times Ever....
asked by: Oicangi on September 9th, 2007
New User
Hi all, My real name is Ignacio, I am 17 (Male).

I am a normal kid, I have common sense, intelligent, know how to treat people and simple.

But I live in a society where looks is very important, and people are very materialist and arrogant.

I have two best friends, they are very awesome and understand me for the good or for the bad, we hang out a lot. We (The Entire Group) are exactly five in the group, and we go to party and stuff, although one of them is kinda shy with womans and stuff so he most of the time stays at home.

Regarding my friends its all good, but even they are a bit materialist, minimum though... I myself, been putting more thoughts on clothing and stuff, like them.

The main thing I'm depressed of is that.. since I was 15 (2005) something that ruined my life started to grow, the famous Acne.

When it started, luckily for me it was the worst days, I didn't cared, because.. I don't know, it wasn't to give a thought, so.. It was Ok for me, annoying but OK.

It all calmed down when I started using medications, but the freaking thing is... that my Acne is like a roller coaster, sometimes is good (I get very very happy when it gets good, obviously), most of the freaking time is hell.

Umm, so, yea, its pretty annoying when I see my friends complaining about one simple Zit, when im just right in front of them, with all this Acne, and yes, by the way im the only one of the group, and probably from school with Acne, seriously.

So, i get down, yea, and specially the last 3 month's, I tried suiciding twice, the first with Aspirines, took like 20, and the second with sleeping pills, took as well 20 and was drunk and took it with alcohol. I did both right before I went to sleep. And both morning i woke up, i got very disappointed...

I mean, its like i been abandoned.. I pray a lot, never get an answer.. I guess God wants me to accept myself for who I am not how I look foor, but what the heck, thats what ugly people says.. no mean to offend anyone (Im not cocky or something...)

So yea, is been hell for me, and more living here.. I know lots of people doesn't have food, are sick for life or is handicapped, but you know, its hard, two years without complying, having my self esteem from 100% to 10%, I am really good with girls, but I make them a favor and wait for them until this thing to goes away..

I meet this girl in one of the parties who really looked me and saw something on me, I really like her, and she likes me, I think im in love.. I can talk things with her that I dont talk with anybody, i tell her I am sad and stuff (but not the suicidal thoughts, I've never told this to anybody in RL).

She got mad at me because I didn't wanted to date her because my acne, I dont feel good in open spaces, with people looking at me, but she keeps talking to me, I don't know, shes into me for some reason.. shes damn cute, damn, honestly shes hoy, and I would marry her. but i don't know if i get to make it, i just want to have a normal life...

So thats all about me and my depression, and my freaking extra heads on my face, ill probably try suiciding again, and i hope i dont fail next time, concerning about my family, it would be bad for them at first, but they wouldn't have to pay more money for my outgoings, stupid expensive medicine, food, etc...

so, I say goodbye to y'all... And if you have Acne like I do, or probably better, i really hope it gets better for you, i really do, because, its not easy.. God Bless you.. (I know im going to hell if i kill myself Crying or Very sad ... but i cant handle it sometimes)

Ignacio, I think you should be congratulated! You're one of the very few people who see past our materialistic, appearance oriented world. This type of attitude is much more attractive than any type of physical appearance. There are very few of you, and to have one less would be a tragedy!

I've tried like everything in the Market, it just doesn't works with me, and I stress out that I use treatments and medications religiously.

I just get better when I'm not depressed, but is impossible if you know what I mean... Whenever I go to the beach I clear a LOT!, but I cant depend on the beach because being exposed a lot to the Sun can be harmful.

Btw, I am sorry for making my first post so long, I just needed to charge off a bit Razz

Ahaa? Vegetarian? Thats pretty good.

I would do it but, since all the good proteins for BodyBuilding are in Meats and Protein Shakes I cant stop eating and drinking them, haha.

By the way, I did not got my Acne for consuming supplements, It was clinically tested... And I just started 4 month's ago.

I have you tried going to a dermatoligst? I can't really tell from your posts. None of that store bought stuff works very well, but the prescription stuff does. And, when you reach adulthood, the acne will go away anyway.

Yea, I've been going to the two best dermatologist in town, they are famous because of fixing acne, although mines is different.

And hmm, yea I guess in Adulthood it will go away, its sad, because I have to wait until im 21-25 or something to start enjoying life, and go through very dark phases while im a teenager... its hard you know? because you are suppose to blossom in this phase, and its impossible... Im very very sociable, but dude, this thing wont allow me to keep like that all the time

I think you are a pretty level-headed guy for 17. Just know that at that age, you have your whole life ahead of you. I know it's difficult to wait until you're older for the acne to go. But patience is required for you to gain many things in life and the sooner you accept that, the better your life will be.

Can I ask you a question without you taking it as an accusation? Many bodybuilders take steroids and other meds to help them gain muscle mass. Steroids do cause acne and can leave you scarred for life, not just your face but your back also. I'm not accusing you of taking them, I'm just trying to cover all the causes of acne.

Another thing, having a girlfriend to talk things (not just acne) over with is a good thing. You're lucky if someone is into you and likes you for something other than your looks. Being able to talk with someone is a vital need for anyone because it gives you another point of view. And all dating does not necessarily lead to marriage, so it's all good.

Good luck with everything.

Hi there.

I read your post and I must assure you that I don't take steroids for several reason:

1) The most important: Health Issues (Including Acne)
2) I want to bulk up in a "Clean" way.

About her, I said I would marry her because she's the nicest person I've ever met, and she's the best thing ever happened to me, she tells me the same thing about me (I've been knowing her for almost six months)...

We hang out and stuff, we're obviously in love, but I tell her I don't want to get deep with her because, no matter how sincere and pure someone could be, appearance does matters sometimes, if you know what I mean.

That's great about the steroids, you are as smart as I thought you were. That's another problem you won't have to deal with later in life. As for your girlfriend, stick with it for her sake. Take your time and don't rush it. Just go at the speed at which you feel comfortable. I do know what you mean about appearance, but give her the benefit of the doubt unless she gives you good reason to end it.

It's clearing more these days Smile . I'll maybe hit the beach this weekends so I can apply a "Fatality" to it Razz

@ lonestarguy: Yea man, you are right, but people are supposed to have in their teenager phase with most of the happiest moments of their lives. And you feel bad when you see all those guys and girls at school not shy at all and enjoying all the things, because they don't have any reason to be shy. So... this is one wasted and sad teenagehood, but I try to be strong everyday and hope for it to go some day..

Uh yeah, that really sucks. Teenage years are supposed to be the best (I can't enjoy mine either), so I understand how it feels to be a waste. If anything, go see another dermatoligist. I'm so sorry; I guess all you can do now is count down the days to adulthood. Sad
