Hi Samantha,
This may be a strange perspective… I am so incredibly jealous that this is the type of problem you are dealing with. I so wish had acne and had low self esteem. I am instead dealing with digestive health issues, issues that my parents abandoning me as a child. I have such high anxiety that doctors have to give me an EKG to make sure it is not my heart that has a problem but is my mind that controls it.

I just want you to know that you can control your mind and you are worthy of all of the love and kindness that exists on this planet. Each human is equal and many of us see media or beauty on tv, internet etc… Those forms of”beauty” are photoshopped and not real. Maybe take some time listening to Tara Brach https://www.youtube.com/user/tarabrach she is like my dose of a daily counselor when i cannot see mine. Everything you want someone to say to you she says and it feels true and relatable. I truly believe that learning self-compassion is a skill that takes time but is fully worth it. Maybe you have not tried listening to a you-tube or a podcast but just give one a try, i never did until very recently and it has helped tremendously. this link is for cultivating compassion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alh1EmP2Of8
