I think acne triggered my cascading anxiety

well i felt so embarrassed i wouldn’t want to leave the house. it started with me avoiding social situations with friends and then skipping work or job interviews. skipping class. it was becoming and then when my skin was clear i had become this extremely social anxious person who was never comfortable in his own skin. i remember thinking i would grow out of it, and wishing for the day when my skin was clear. but it never cleared up until i changed my diet and avoided trigger foods like dairy, sugar, and wheat or pasta.

now i have almost no anxiety and feel almost normal again. and my skin has been clear for years, i dont even use any products on my skin. i feel like my anxiety was worse than my medicated schizophrenia.
