someone recently posted a pill called livadone. it seems like a scam, but maybe its worth a try ...i really do believe if theres ever a cure, it will be from the inside out, not with lasers etc. everyday that goes by i look at my friends who have perfect normal lives. they might have their share of problems, but atleast they are COMFORTABLE in their skin. they are able to have sex and relationships and go to the beach and have confidence. im not though. the worst part about it all is that these are the most basic things in life, and i STILL cant do them ...most people take these basic things (like their skin for example) for granted, little do they know how lucky they are to not have sms like this. its so depressing. i want to kill myself
im know exactly how you feel. relationships/sex its extremely frustrating. especially when you do get talking to a girl and you like her and knowing that you cant take it any further (relationship wise that is or be it just sex). then shes angry at you for leading her on or waisting her time etc . its hard. and another frustrating thing is that we dont even know when a cure will be. we are all sat here waiting for it and it might not be for another 100yrs. at least if we knew it was 3 yrs away we could sit back and relax in the comfort that they are, in the not too distant future, going to be cured. but personally i cant see a cure coming that soon. so far we dont have anything that even remotely works. our best attempts are lasers which struggle to even produce 30% improvement let alone full removal and they charge a ridiculously large amount of money for it. then theres the fear that if they do find a treatment that works it will also cost a ridiculous amount of money. even so i would be willing to pay it as any sum of money is worth having my life back. but how long away will this miracle cure be. it feels like theres no one even trying to find a cure or help out the situation. no matter how much research i do (and ive been doing it for the past 3 or 4 years almost every night) i cant find anyone in the process of creating a cure or a new treament etc. all these years spent looking for a cure and still not a thing. this leads me to believe that another 5 or 10 years will pass by without a thing aswell, because the past 5/10 years havent brought much in terms of satisfactory sm reduction. i just dont know.

If i knew my boyfriend was going through such torment and depression about his marks, I would be heartbroken. Knowing his mental health was suffering becuase he was so down about them, would be truely heartbreaking. That is the appropriate response, concern, care, and hearbreak, that he is so affected, his happiness, is so affected by it, and NOT laughing at, pointing and gasping, or ridiculing. I KNOW our society can be cut throat, there are many people out there who value being thin and and having clear skin as top qualities to have in a partner BUT there are also MANY, MANY with life experiece and a knowledge of what is truely imporant and rewarding to have in a friend or partner, such as care, sense of humor, optimistic outlook on life, self value, self respect etc - and this is not settling for second best, this is the way to have truely rewarding and satisfying relationships. Look for these types of people (probably not found in huge numbers at clubs, maybe pubs
) and aim on taking care of yourself (ie. being physically fit, treating yourself well), working on moving to a place of self value and self respect (and you can tell when a person has this, can't you?) and improving the the qualtiy of you and how you react and respond to life - and you will find not only a bit of peace but better quality of friendships and even relationships.
