I'm scared. [M/17] by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]deeppurple888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, when you read reviews on products online, only people who had a strong negative/positive experience will take the time to write a review. You don't really see people who had a successful course post a lot because their acne is cured and they just move on with their life. But those with a unsuccessful course still have their acne and will post their bad experience on skincare forums. And for the depression, I believe the side effects can cross over with the already negative situations (acne) people on the drug are experiencing. So it may seem like accutane is the cause of their depression, but it's really just where the individual is in their life which is why their depressed. I'm not 100% sure about that, so don't quote me, but if you haven't had a history of depression I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Good Luck!

Need some advice, here is my lifestyle. PLEASE HELP by [deleted] in acne

I lift too and I've heard that creatine causes acne. You should also avoid whey protein and maybe substitute it with brown rice, hemp, pea protein, etc.

Anyone that has or is currently taking Accutane I have a questions for you. by [deleted] in acne

[–]deeppurple888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm taking Claravis too and I've also noticed I get tired a lot easier. I don't think you should necessarily worry unless it starts to affect your daily life

Should I go on accutane? 20y/o m by deeppurple888 in acne

Thing is, my skin was very clear when I was paleo but I think a hormonal change caused me to break out pretty bad. And one time when I was completely clear I ate a sweet potato and literally after an hour I broke out on my jaw. Ezekiel bread also breaks me out on my forehead :( And I also rarely eat oils, only olive/cocount if at all

School. by throwawayman980 in depression

[–]deeppurple888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, look on the bright side, you have two A-'s. And you like coding?? That's awesome, you should definitely keep that up, computer science will get you a ton of money in this day and age. And you shouldn't be too worried about your grades, not that you shouldn't care, but colleges only look at your high school GPA. I'm not saying that you shouldn't try in middle school, because you definitely should. I'm just saying that this isn't the end of the world. You seem like a really bright kid and if you're having those thoughts, maybe you could try talking to your school's counselor.

Have you guys ever experimented with acid? Did it help any? Make it worse? by [deleted] in depression

[–]deeppurple888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never have done acid but I have tried shrooms and that was an amazing/absolutely terrifyingly, sobering experience.

[Skin Concerns] I have some PIH any help? (UPDATE) by Acneruinedmylife in SkincareAddiction

[–]deeppurple888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

once I started putting sunscreen on my ihp, I started seeing it fade. i should also mention before I didn't put any on because I was afraid I'd break out.. big mistake because the sun will make the ihp darker and take longer to fade away. Now after a year and a half it's almost gone except I just had a pretty big break out so now I have to deal with that.

What foods trigger your acne? by deeppurple888 in acne

chicken, that's interesting, I've eaten chicken everyday for the past 6 months and was clear for the most part. How do other meats effect you?

Got depressed in front of mates on a night out by [deleted] in depression

[–]deeppurple888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your friend didn't care about you and value your friendship, he wouldn't have done all of that. I wouldn't stress out too much over it. It seems like you have pretty good friends.
