I can relate to this

I used to really hate saying any of the words to relate to the condition of my skin - blemish, pimple, acne. I actually hesitated before saying any of those but I'm fine with saying acne now. I still don't talk about it much with people but if I am for some reason, I have no problem with the word 'acne'. I just got used to it I guess...

But you're right - acne itself can cause a lot of emotional pain. Hang in there and try to see all that is still good with life. Don't sit by and let acne stop you from doing things you love, enjoying life, having a good time or being happy. I think that it is about changing your mindset about things. Often it is a choice to be miserable about acne or you can try your best to forget about it or worry less about it and enjoy your day. That's not to say you're not allowed to be upset or annoyed with acne (because you are and I know the feeling well!) but just try and stay positive and hopeful about things and have some fun in life regardless of having acne or not.

Hang in there
