Hi everyone

[Mercer]

OK,

I'm 21 (male) I've suffered from a particular skin problem for the past six years, and I have pratically spent the past three years staying in (complete torture at times) Finally I seeked help :-p and I'm now seeing a counselor.

Since 2002 when being out I always cover my face with my hand, and I'm now trying to stop this, but it's hard, even though I know I get more weird looks than I would, and if anything covering my face up makes me even more anxious.

I'm very easily irritable, and theres not one thing that doesn't get me stressed (when I'm staying in) this kind of stress is what I really REALLY want to rid of. It's always silly little things (ex, someone putting away the dishes loudly) I'm mature for my age, and everything, but I literally just can't control myself at times.

All I hope for the future is to get my life back (appetite too) and that I don't waste any more years like this.

Well, I hope someone has enjoyed reading this.

Mercer :-)

Hi Mercer and welcome to the site,

Glad you are having counselling for this issue.

I hope will will work together well and concentrate on your inner soul and accept the skin problem.

What do they say about it only being skin deep?

Cheers,



Ray
