Struggling big time with skin and mental health

[Thatgirl2012]

My acne is on and off awful. My skin will look great one day and the next day awful because I cannot stop picking. Even if there is no red inflamed acne on my face I always have little bumps that if I squeeze a bunch of his comes out of and then it turns into a really noticeable spot. My skin can look clear and I cannot help but squeeze blackheads on my nose because they drive me nuts ! I have huge pores on my nose from constantly squeezing black heads but it is like I can't help myself. Then I feel awful about myself, down and in a bad mood. Am tired of always blathering make up on my face to cover acne or just to cover my huge pores. I wish I could go make up free and feel ok. How do I stop squeezing and how can i reduce enlarged pores without paying a bunch of money. Helpp
