Anxiety About Red Face/Acne
My skin is always really red and it gets worse when I get anxious. This causes me to be more anxious, and for the last 8+ months, i have been anxious all day everyday, just on the verge of panic attacks. I think about my skin from the moment I wake up from the moment I go to sleep. I fear mirrors. If I look into one, I end up having a panic attack and cry. I can
@injapan I just responded on your other thread. I am so sorry that you had not one but two threads that went unanswered for so long. That is terrible of us in the community to not support you and I hope that you have had someone while you dealt with all this.
I have a lot of horomonal acne so it comes in waves. I am well past the age that I should be dealing with this but I do. Have you tried meeting with a dermatologist? They might have something to prescribe you to help with the red face and acne while you work on lowering your anxiety and preparing for panic attacks
Like I said in your last thread, please let us know how you are doing so we can help any way we can. I would love to share anxiety relieving strategies that have worked for me in the past. Maybe one can help you too.
@injapan I saw a documentary with a young woman with your same condition and I fell in love with her...there are people out there who really do not care about appearance but the soul inside...only her condition was so bad that it hurt permanently too...I felt for her...
