after 6 years dealing w cystic acne, feels like this shit finally bout to end. i tried tretinoin, azelaic acid, cut off junk food, did everything right… but that shit still stayed on my face like it owned me. and yeah, i never had the balls to start isotret.
then these past 3 months, ever since my mom passed away, everything js went to shit. problems everywhere, loml dipped, and my face looked fucked up.
i stopped eating like a normal person. once a day, barely anything. lowk starving myself. and that’s when i noticed it… my acne started disappearing like crazy. shit felt unreal.
and yeah, i lost like 2 kg too, from 50 to 48. my body lowk looks fucked, but i can still hide it. my face tho? finally starting to look decent again.
then i started taking magnesium glycinate to lower my cortisol and allat, but i learned the hard way i gotta eat first. one time i didn’t eat and still took it… my stomach said fuck u and i threw up like crazy. shit was painful ash, nothing came out but water.
but now i kinda get it. i know what works, at least for now. somehow my life slowly getting less fucked… all because of this starving phase ❤
