Rosacea, self-esteem and guilt
Super post on rosacea-support about rosacea, self esteem and guilt.
Quote:
"Something like Rosacea shouldn't be allowed to have this amount of control, yet does. I, over the years, have found myself becoming less and less social, finding comfort in my own world rather than venturing into new territories. It's a shame, because the heart is willing, but the insecurities are far too overpowering. Everything seems to be about baby steps for me, and I find my self confidence completely dependent on what reflection I'll see when I wake up. Wish it wasn't so; wish I could wave a magic wand to change that, but no matter how much I try to fool myself, I know I've got huge obstacles to overcome."
