I put on my tea tree mask last night (first spot treatment, then full face over that) and went to bed and when I woke up this morning I had NO NEW BLEMISHES!! My face IS peeling now, but I was supposed to exfoliate today anyway. Ho hum, happy day!

PS. blackheads – 16, whiteheads – 8

Well, today I feel slightly discouraged. My acne seems to have gotten slightly worse today, although it was really only better before because I had just gone for my bimonthly facial, which keeps things clear for days afterwards. My dermatologist says that my skin looks slightly better every time I see her, even though I can’t tell.

So: today’s counts:

blackheads: 6
whiteheads: 7
post-hyperpigmentation: 10-12 new, 50+ old

Just to give things a numerical value so I can track my progress!

Every day I come home from school and spend two hours on the internet. I read fan fiction, explore wikihow or deviantart, watch free online moview in crappy resolution, basically waste my time.

I have depression, and these sort of escapist activities destroy me. I need to be out in the world doing stuff, meeting people, volunteering, etc. So we’ll see how this goal gos.
