I'm losing patience here, I was already very self-conscience about my skin to the point where I would cancel plans and try to conceal it with bandages. A body dysmorphic disorder. Well Lithium has really affected my self-confidence and makes me want to hide inside all day because I keep getting cysts on my face. At 900mg the acne started after a few months on it, but it eventually went away. But they had to increase it to 1200mg and boom it's back. I know it might go away eventually but I can't wait any longer. I have to take a bunch of NAC to make sure I don't pick at it until my face is a bleeding mess.

I see my pdoc like in 2 weeks since I just graduated from IOP, and I really think I need a med adjustment. I know Lithium is the gold standard and I want it to work out for me, but I feel so ugly. I'll try to keep taking my meds but it's ****ing hard to just wait this out
