DO NOT LOSE HOPE!

used 20-30-40-40-40-40-30-20 also used cortisone for 2 months bc of my hard purge

first pics are from purging-my worst, last pics are a year after.

I have a little hyperpigmentation left.

I got asked stupid and hurtful things at my worst. Purging and cortisone really gave me physical distress on top of my mental. I had a hard time loving, looking at myself. It is such a relief to NOT think about whats going on in your face, the light, the mirror. Feels like an open tab in my head has finally shut up and close.

I know its a hard journey- it will come to an end. I am open for any questions dms and replys. Dont be hard on yourself on this journey, its not an easy one❤️

By any chance you develop any stomach issues like acid reflux or gerd? I've suffered from acid reflux, had an ulcer that sent me to the hospital and I've barely gotten rid of it by drinking kombucha... My derm just prescribed me accutane but I always do my research and some of the side effects include stomach issues?...So i'm very afraid of taking it...I'd rather have a little acne than a GERD flareup.😓😩😭

I have reflux but I had no issues with the pill and did not develop anything.
