feelin ugly

evidently i'm having some serious hormonal problems lately or something. my skin is acting a crazy fool, breaking out almost every week.

i've read that stress can cause hormone imbalances, which can cause your skin to break out. could that be it? i have been tense and stressed a lot lately. can't be my diet - i eat pretty healthily all the time, and especially in the last month or so since i've been trying to kick a few pounds. i drink a lot of water (pretty much all i drink is water and tea anyway, with the occasional cup of coffee). i don't know what the problem is.

to make matters worse, trying to remedy the situation, i gave myself a home facial based on some natural "recipes" i found online. word to the wise: if you have sensitive skin and tend to be allergic to random things, DON'T put apple cider vinegar (acv) on your skin!!! so not only am i feeling hideous due to the breakouts, but the stupid acv gave me a stupid allergic reaction and now i have an itchy rash on my forehead and a burn mark (yes, it literally BURNED my skin) on my chin. *SIGH*

i feel incredibly self-conscious and i get the feeling everyone is staring at me, thinking "dang, who beat her in the face??"

i just wanna bury my head in the sand. :-(
