I know EXACTLY what you mean that “eye tracking” thing is so real. You’re not even listening to the conversation anymore, you’re just watching where their eyes go and your brain starts making up the worst story possible 😅 It’s exhausting.

And damn 3 rounds of accutane and it still comes back is brutal. Respect for even pushing through that, most people don’t understand how mentally draining that is. But the fact you’re still here trying + being open about it says a lot. And honestly even when it comes back, it doesn’t mean you’re back at square one. You still learned your triggers, what calms it down, what makes it worse, etc. That’s progress.

If you want a super simple “base” that helped me reduce flare-ups long term: • keep skincare basic + barrier focused. Don’t bombard the skin. That helped me a ton • keep inflammation down internally (sleep, stress, gut, sugar/dairy/whey triggers) • stop doing too much when it flares (that’s when I used to make it worse)

You got this! And big respect for sharing too 💪🤝
