[Personal] How do YOU cope with the emotional/mental side of bad skin?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've suffered from bad skin all my life.It's made me hide away. It's made me quit jobs. It's ruined relationships.I only seem to be happy when my skin is clear and, after 2 accutane courses, I was acne and seb-derm free for 5 years. Unfortunately, following a breakup and other massive life changes, my skin has flared up and has gotten consistently worse over the past 2 months. Nothing seems to work and I cant go back onto accutane because of the depression... I feel hideous and useless. I feel it will never get better. I'm 30 now and still suffering.However... I recognise this controls me more than it should. I let acne, redness and skin issues control me. I wish I could be happy and just 'deal with it' as people say... but I haven't found the methods yet. I can't afford CBT but would love to hear how you guys cope with bad skin?I'm noticing myself falling into old behaviours such as cancelling plans, checking the mirror constantly, not wanting to leave the house, thinking of my skin 24/7...So yeah. How do YOU cope with the mental strain of bad skin?
