My skin is horrid lately. I went to see a dermatologist about two and a half weeks ago (that is a whole 'nother story ) and she put me on this oral/topical antibiotic regimen that only seems to be making the situation worse. Apparently that is a common side effect.
WHAT?
It's been extremely vexing but a friend of mine who is on this same regimen told me to stick it out since she only saw results by the 4th week. I've increased water intake to 90 ounces a day and all I'm getting out of it is a heavy bladder and extra trips to the loo. My skin is the one physical aspect of myself that I have ALWAYS tried my best to take care of. Why are my hormones suddenly turning on me? Wasn't this issue supposed to be disposed of by the end of puberty?
Law school has gone beyond taking an emotional toll on me. 3 years ago I was a little lighter on my feet, had relatively clear skin, more hair and a TON of less stress. Also, I derived some pleasure from schoolwork and learning. Now I'm struggling to find a "fine balance" but keep getting stuck. I see myself as a positive person with a growing negative outlook - ironic, but frustrating. It's cliche to say that one shouldn't focus on the shallow stuff but goodness my perspective on life would change for the better if I felt comfortable in my body...skin...hair...nails...
I know I'm not alone on this one. GAHH

Ugh.. I still have problems with my skin too! I don't think it's ever been clear since JHS. :( Hopefully some of the stress can be reduced from TONS to POUNDS when we hang out. Heehee.. I know I'm so corny. :)
