My jaw area is a total mess because it's right before my period.

Maybe it's because that monthly bout is just around the corner, but two big, red blemishes just popped up right on my jawline and around my mouth this morning. You know those pimples that are super painful and swollen to the touch? My condition is already at rock bottom, and looking in the mirror just makes me feel even more depressed. Stress makes me crave sweet desserts like crazy, but I'm holding back because I'm afraid eating chocolate or flour-based foods will make the inflammation worse, so I'm just drinking warm chamomile tea. Today, as soon as I get off work, I plan to remove my makeup as gently as possible, slap on a soothing patch right on the breakouts, and go to bed early. This slave to hormones is crying again today.
