I am 22 years old and I have cystic acne and really big ears that stick out pretty much as far as they can. Of course when I was little I got teased a bunch because of my ears. Then my second year of college my face broke out in cystic acne, Today my acne is not as bad as it was back then…but I still break out and cystic acne is very painful and noticeable. I find it really hard to leave the house sometimes. Sometimes I don’t even feel like going to class because I pretty much look and feel like an ugly piece of shit. When people talk to me I can notice them staring at my skin and I feel like punching them in the face. It makes me extremely nervous no matter whom it is. And when I don’t leave the house, I hate it when people come over because most of the time I have a gigantic cyst on the side of my face, so I hide out in my room with acne medication on my face praying that nobody knocks at my door. …I really don’t show that all this stuff makes me sad. So most of the people in my family think I’m fine…they even have the nerve to talk about bad acne with there friends when I’m sitting right there in the living room…it only happened once but it drove me crazy! I think my ears and acne give me Anxiety every day of my life. I feel very nervous a lot because of how I look. I don’t have a social life because I just can’t do it. It’s also extremely hard talking to girls I find attractive. I know I can probably pay for plastic surgery once I graduate I’ll just have to live at home a while longer. But as of right now I’m thinking about going to a doctor and telling them basically what I jut typed. Don’t think I’m druggie but I really think I need some anti Anxiety pills or something. Do I just go see my regular doctor and tell him I have Anxiety…is what I’m even explaining considered Anxiety???? Please help
