has anyone gotten any post-breakup stress acne?

Author

one day I genuinely just woke up to the worst acne breakout I've had since my mid-teens. it's so crazy to me how the human body can react to stress sometimes. I've witnessed it first hand with this breakup.

has anything else been feeling off for you lately or is it mainly the breakout that hit you hardest?

my skin freaks out from stress, i just try to keep things super simple. drink water, wash my face, try to sleep a bit more. nothing fancy, just the basics so my body chills a little.

when my ex left, my whole face just exploded out of nowhere. i wasn’t even thinking about my body reacting, but stress hit me like a truck and my skin paid the price. it’s wild how heartbreak shows up in places we don’t expect

I was just at dermatologist yesterday. and she said our body reacts when its stressed... so that is why...
now eat well and drink water and try to do things that distress you
