My face has been breaking out all around my nose multiple times a day and nothing I do has been able to stop or even slow it. I've tried masks, face washes, scrubs, cleansing pads, and ointments. My wife attributed it to me deciding to mow this year instead of contracting it out. That and we have two properties I've been maintaining. But it just wasn't adding up. It was so confounding in fact, that I thought to myself it hasn't been this bad since puberty.
And that was the lightbulb moment. You see, I started a supplement a couple of months back for energy and vitality and a bunch of other (presumed) bullshit claims/side-effects. One of which was boosting testosterone - which I honestly thought was preposterous. But then wondered aloud if boosting testosterone would trigger the same effect puberty had upon my face, and thankfully my scientist daughter was in earshot with a resounding, "ABSOLUTELY!" Followed by the exact chemical reaction which was causing these explosions on my face.
In related news, with absolutely everything going on in my life right now, Geekfriend says to me, "Are you really sure you should be taking testosterone right now? So yeah, I've got a whole cheering section going on.
Speaking of cheering sections, when not one, but two trusted sources whose opinions I respect separately suggested I re-start individual counseling, well, that merits consideration. So upon the second mention I've scheduled weekly to August (though I don't start until the 18th of June). I can tell you this much: Its going to be an absolutely INSANE couple of months, and we've only just scratched surface.
