Re: what should i do..

r u sure itz just ur job thats aking u feel like that/depressed???

what about other things in life??family etc??is every other thing ok???

Re: what should i do..

why wud u ppl suggest against antidepressants.... they are not always bad. u never know that that is exactly the thing she needs!!!!!!! my advice is to go seek medical help and see what the doc says. plz no harm in seeking his/her advice.

Re: what should i do..

I am from a family of doctors.
No doctor has time to walk you through the life. You learn this at you your own.
You know what give her antidepressants turn her into vegetable for a 4 years, but guess what??
when she wakes up she still got to learn how to live life.

Re: what should i do..

antidepressents are always bad and doctors prescribe them way too easily.

i've not known anyone who has taken antidepressents and not felt suicidal. deciding to come off them and having some focus is what turned their lives around. the whole drug company/antidepressent situaiton is just plain scary.

but lost_angel go and see the doc, you might have a hormone imbalance or a host of other treatable medical conditions.

could not be more true.

been there, done that :)

stick with your family physician who knows your and your family's history inside out.

Re: what should i do..

i cant thank enough for everyone's support here...i have been tooo lonely..not talking to anyone about my problems...n i felt worst abt myself..i hated myself...but yesterday i talked to my friend and her mother who is a psychologist...she told me to get o ut of your shell and make an effort..things wnt change untill u dnt try...
but im TRYING NOW...i want to change..and come out to the world as what i really amm...inside i know im a wonderful person like everyone else...but my acne..my negative thoughts they all are stopping me ...
JK wat do u mean by i need to rough up and need a force...i do get ur point..but question is HOW??

Re: what should i do..

^ is Acne whats stopping u? Girl… :hug: why dont u go see a dermatologist..?

i know of three friends.. very very very close to me with the same issues (also falls into their confidence level) who saw a proper dermatologist for it… and ever since then, they havent looked back..

enjoy life… its too short

Re: what should i do..

i have been to the dermatologist...the medicine he gives me makes me look horrible...so i stop taking it after a while

Re: what should i do..

Perhaps go to another dermatologist? Tell them your experience with the medicine that the first dermatologist prescribed you and ask for a second opinion. There are honestly so many remedies to acne .... and not the same thing is going to suit everyone. My sister has really bad acne so I know this first hand. She has tried so many medicines and creams and even herbal remedies before she figured out what worked best for her skin. (daily diet, face wash, face toner, acne medicine, makeup, etc). Some of the stuff she tried had HORRIBLE effects on her face and it was worse than before. But that did not mean she stopped looking for a solution.

When something does not work out in life (no matter how big or small) - that does not mean one should give up. That constant desire to find a solution, improve/enhance an aspect of one's life is such a positive driving force to living without getting too down about the daily struggles we face.

I agree with others that you should see a doctor- as this could be a hormonal problem. But I also advise against taking anti-depressants (even if your doctor is quick to prescribe them). Perhaps go see a therapist??? I had a friend who had hit a low in life and no matter how much support her friends and family gave her ...she could not get herself out of that state. She went to a therapist and it really did help her. The therapist was a constant reinforced for her to change up her life. To do things differently. View things differently. It was a very positive experience for her. It might be for you as well.

And Saddzz is completely right. Enjoy life girl... because it is truly too short. Spend time doing things that truly make you happy....no matter what it is. Make sure you take time out of your life to do them.

Why don't you plan a mini-vacation trip with a best friend???? Those are so great when one starts getting sick of the same routine of their life or are low in general. Quality girl time in another city/place is great. Take the time to plan the details of this little trip... where you will stay...where you will eat.... sightseeing.. etc. It will make you think of things other than the norm and you will come back so refreshed inshAllah. :)

Re: what should i do..

Lost angel , as far as i am aware , most acne medications , take time to take effect on your skin... and it gets worse before it starts getting better ... yes it will be a horrid phase where you will get scared thinking how much more worse it will get , but trust me at that point you will notice that within weeks , the acne infections start reducing and ultimately clearing out ... you must continue the medication otherwise it really has no effect and you are further spoiling your skin and your body is getting immuned to antibiotics that you leave half way ....

Re: what should i do..

yes CB Im trying to stick to my medication this time...btw i love ur signature message

Re: what should i do..

Excellent LA , I am glad you are sticking to your medication and have faith .. you are a beautiful person , acne should not pull your world down .. its a problem that you are trying to overcome and the more you hide away and stress yourself it will only get worse …

I hope to see a more confident you , inshallah … :hugz:

thanks for liking the signature , its something I have personally experienced as well :@:
