Rosacea, stress and anxiety

I have a long list of rosacea triggers. They include everything from sunlight to red wine and a sprinkling of everything in between.

Stress and anxiety are huge for me. I have a social anxiety disorder and panic disorder and this makes me feel like stress and anxiety are the two triggers over which I have the least control.

I can wear sunscreen or stay out of the sun. I can watch what I eat. I can give up red wine. But anxiety just "happens".

I'd love to hear from anyone else who is struggling with the impact of anxiety on rosacea (and of rosacea on anxiety for that matter! :oops: ). Any tips or shared stories welcome!
