I have red acne on my cheeks, and I don’t understand why because I don’t eat junk food, I cleanse it everyday and I drink lots of water. I do stress sometimes, and I have mild anxiety, do you think this could be the cause.

even if you eat right, drink water cut out junk food but are dealing with some level of stress and anxiety can that alone cause breakouts?

I have acne that I only get right before a big test or a concert. I get really angry though because it ruins my look for the concert or the dance. I’m not really a nervous person, but i just stress out, which causes acne. PLEASE HELP.

Ok i have acne i admit it i think everyone gets acne!
But my acne was really bothering me and other things were stressing me out and making me worry! Until december 26th when i finally stopped worrying and my face is clearing up now? could this be happening or is it just happening because before this would get better 1 or 2 days and then it would come back again?
yeah i heard it was caused by stress! It isnt bad acne if i was to class it it would be class 1 like their small but their is alot of them they dont hurt or anything thought!

my naturopathic doc did ASI (Adrenal stress index) testing, that has showed low morning cotisol, normal at noon and high in th evening and night. DHEA is high. the doc said I need to minimize the stress because I am just a step away from “adrenal fatigue”. Why there is a variation in the cortisol levels.My prolactin is high, irregular periods, acne, difficulty loosing weight, anxiety, hair loss and hypothyroid….. taking thyroid replacements.
What are the stress factors that I need to focus on? I would appreciate responses from personal experience too!
please help me with suggestions and advices because I need to continue my eductaion further with a peaceful mind and body.

hi.
3 years ago I had a 2 year relationship with someone who was psychologically abusive. He would constantly compare me to his ex and would ‘gaslight’ me by not calling for a lonnng time and then calling really late at night acting as if nothing happened.
I was too confused to this ‘alien’ behavior to understand at the time.
He subtly belittled me. etc.

I found out he was still talking to he ex on the phone, found a ton of naked polaroids of her in the room we slept in, and he cheated on me with some other girl. Basically I found alot of this information all out at once, which was very traumatic for me. Then when i confronted him he told me to ‘get out’ and when i refused, he walked out and that was the last time i saw him. No closure, no explanation, no empathy.
Alot of other ‘stories’ but you get the gist.

Hello there. For the last 2 months I have been extremely stressed at work, long hours etc..I started getting mouth ulcers, an acne type rash on my face, short of breath , a pounding heart on waking up and dizziness and sheer exhasution in the evenings. I have had every test hiv, lupus etc all negative and my bloodwork is fine. Doctors say it is anxiety/stress/depression related. I have been feeling low and the worry about my health is worsening things, but can they be right? By the way I dont drink/smoke do drugs and am not on anything except vitamins.
