22 Year Old Female with my Accutane Journey

I've never had PERFECT skin. However I never had "acne" either, until I got into my 20's. In high school I thought of myself (as other people did too) as confident and fun and beautiful but after getting acne all of these things faded away from me. It was hard for me to accept my acne and I didn't expect my friends to understand so instead of dealing with it I withdrew myself. From my friends, my family, then soon enough my business that was in full swing when I started to break out. My acne started to take over my life. In the worst. Way. Possible. I would cry and I would spend most of my free time either alone in my apartment or I'd drive far enough away so I wouldn't have to fear anyone seeing me the way I was. July 2016 I got my first acne cyst or even "nodule" and alothough it wasn't big it was ugly and I became obsessed with it. Crying and clinging to my mom. She couldn't take it any more because it was all I stared to talk and think about. This is when I went to my first derm. She perscribed me A BUNCH of meds and sent me on my way. This only made things WORSE! And before I know it (almost over night-late October) my entire right side of my face started to get cystic acne. I almost felt like the acne was "holding hands" beyond the surface of my face I felt like they were all connected. It started as just effecting me physically and grew into itternally where I could barely sleep at night because if I rolled onto my ride side it would HURT so badly I would cry myself back to sleep. Finally I decided enough was enough and searched online for a 5 star derm whome would care for me beyond my skin. He saved my life when he introduced me to accutane. (Sounds dramatic but it was very true. Talk about depression!) I was almost upset I've never heard about accutane prior to him. But now I understand with all the blood tests and close monetering and severe side effects why it's not really a topic of conversation. Anyways, I started my accutane December 12 2017. I DID NOT see immidate results. I would search the internet constantly and obsessively in hope that it would kick in someday and all that I would read to confirm this is to be patient and that everyone is different. This is very TRUE! It is almost the begging of June 2018 and I am FINALLY seeing results. Originally I didn't want to share my story because I was ashamed and embarrassed of my acne but now I feel like it's important because I personally could have used this review from someone else when I started this journey. So here we go!!! These pictures are from April 1st 2017 to today May 29th 2017. 60 days!!! 4 to 6 months in! Be patient!!! I am still not done with my treatment and my doctor again upped my dose yet again and is keeping me on for another couple to few months. So no not perfect skin but I hope from here I'll keep improving and inspiring! (Also, if you read all of this thank you and I love you haha)
