I've been struggling with acne since my early teens. It's been a huge self esteem issue ever since. And, as an adult, the break-outs have gotten worse. I sometimes have break-out events where it spreads and covers my back. It's disgusting and extremely painful.

I've tried pretty much every OTC product out there. I've been to dermatologists. One even prescribed a hard-core antibiotic thinking it...

Sorry to see your condition is so severe:/ I didn't develop acne until after highschool (partially grateful since I hated myself enough) but now as an adult I feel like I'm backtracking! Some products work, some don't and some that have worked for acne for myself have also irritated my tattoos so then the choice of tattoo durability or skin issues.. Ugh! Anyway, some products that might be worth looking into would be Alba Botanica, CeraVe, Cetephil.. Hopefully you find something helpful in the near future!
myenothing:
Thank you for your kindness! And thank you for the product recommendations. I seem to be doing OK so far with the Paula's Choice regimen. It SEEMS to be helping, but only time will tell. If this does not help over the next few months, I'll look into your recommendations. Thank you!

I've been bouldering since September of 2014 at Seattle Bouldering Project, picking back up from where I left off as a teen. As such, I've been getting more fit than I have been in years. Decades even. I had been running 2-3 times a week, but this is better, more strength & resistance training than anything. Scurrying up & down the big boy jungle...

I was involved with someone for nearly a year and a half. It ended on my birthday in July. Happy fucking birthday, right?

I tried to give her a hug in public. A pleasant, friendly yet affectionate, non-groping hug. She put her hand up to stop me and said "act like a normal person"...

What. The. Genuine. Fuck. In a relationship for nearly a year...

I've been dating someone since middle march of '13. She's distant, sometimes cold. She says she's not a passionate person by nature. But from time to time, she really is.

In many, many ways, we are very compatible. We have similar intellectual interests, a similar view on politics, religion and society. We share great conversations and walks in the park. And physically, she's everything I...

Signing up to a number of dating sites as of late, and I ran into her profile again. The one I had dated for over a year and a half before she politely informed me that she wanted to date other guys while still fucking me.

I feel like a pile of dog shit that has been stepped on, and then unceremoniously picked at and...

Last night's date was better than expected.

An easy, simple dinner. Good conversation (we very much think alike in a lot of ways).

She's cute. Shorter than me (I like that).

She said she'd like to see me again before I had a chance to say the same of her.

And she kissed me. And accepted another when I pulled her close.

We'll see.

Against my better judgement, I'm going to have one last date tonight.

I had agreed to meet her some weeks ago. She had been living in another state for a while due to work. She's cute in her profile photos. And we are quite compatible as far as statistics on OKC goes. But I'm not holding my breath.

The only expectation I have is that...

A note in advance: This is not a pitty-party grab for attention. This is just a semi-private rant to get it down somewhere my relatives and "friends" won't see it. It is also directly applicable to those of us right around hitting 40. I'm not angry or bitter, I'm just annoyed.

...

After almost two years of constant dating, I absolutely hate it. It's an...

My daughter lost her first tooth today!

It is so weird to watch this little being grow, day by day. Almost six years old and she's growing so fast. Every week, when I get her back from her mama's, I swear she's grown a couple more inches.
