[Personal] I have a chronic skin disease, and it sucks (a rant)

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Not sure where to post this, but I'm just frustrated (I made an alt to hide my identity). This post isn't meant to ask for a diagnosis or anything, I just need to vent.I've been having this chronic skin disease since my college years, where I would get itchy rashes ALL over my body, as well as swelling (I'm hiding the disease as to avoid identifying myself). This has been going on for a few years, and it is getting in the way of my school and social life. It hasn't been continuously going on, but every time it happens, it lasts for like a year or so.My most recent episode started again last month, after a blissful hiatus. The rash appears literally EVERYWHERE. Everywhere is a rash, there is swelling. Right now, it hurts to hold a fucking pencil because my joints are swelling up. My face looks like the goddamn neanderthal. It itches just to type this paragraph.I don't even want to hang out with my friends at this point, let alone meet new people. The first thing they say is that "you have that rash again." NO SHIT. Furthermore, when you look like a red caveman, dating is basically nonexistent. Every day, my parents would text me and ask, "how is your skin?" I know they care, but my skin is always going to be shitty. My professors also notice this, and I'm worried about how this will affect my school performance.Psychologically, I'm a bit frustrated and defeated, but thankfully not depressed. My parents have really been supportive, and I have good doctors.Thanks for reading, I just needed to get this off of my chest. Has anyone else had a long-term skin condition like this? How has this affected your daily activities? How are you able to cope?
