Hello, I am currently a freshman in college and I get very depressed sometimes after I drink. I usually start feeling anxious and self conscious about my face while I am drinking. I will make several unneccessary trips to the bathroom just to look at my face and the pimples I have. Last night, I convinced myself that the pimples I currently have are permanent and the whole party sucked because I was worrying about that the entire time. Today I am so depressed about everything and this isn't the first time. I am still convinced that my pimples are permanent as well. I can't shake this constant cycle of depression.
Acne is definitely a blow to the self esteem. Remember stress can cause your acne to flair up. I would suggest try using one of the many acne meds that are out there I hear pro-active is amazing. Remember not to pick or pop any of them because this will only cause spreading. Acne is very prominent in younger kids and usually goes away around the ages of 21+.
