My eyes not only looked red, they hurt. I began to worry if there was something I was not "seeing" in my life. I made a decision to leave a job that was causing me a lot of stress, and that I had unrealistic aspirations about. It has been a little over 7 months since I moved on from that job, and not only have I gained insight about the previous job situation, the ocular rosacea has gone away. So, is there anything in your life you need to look at deeply? What are your dreams? What do you love to do and hope for? Make changes towards your real aspirations, hopes, dreams... The ocular rosacea worried me the most.

I simply cannot imagine how anyone can possibly like to kiss somebody with such a face. Even my best girlfriend couldnt help saying that NOW I do look really not very attractive. I used to be considered as that by her ... It is like having lost my face, not being able to go out and show my face really to others. If that is not causing depression and anxiety, what is? I had problems with acne when I was young, and suffered from psoriasis and allergic eccema. But all this did not have the same severe effect on my emotional stability as now rosacea. I just wish so much that some day I wake up to find my skin is clearing up again, just as all the other skin problems did. They suddenly ceased to exist. I am very doubtful that depression causes rosacea, for me it is the other way round. But I may be seeing it very one-sidedly.. Susanne Hi all,

I think there is definitely a tie in between symptoms and depression that feed off each other sometimes.

It's not so bad on my face which can be covered with inexpensive makeup, but my eyes hurt a lot. I am not by nature derpessive nor do I suffer from anxiety. My life, in fact, feels very blessed. However, when the ocular symptoms occur with burning and making me feel very tired, I do get depressed. So I don't think depression is causing the rosacea, but rather rosacea is causing the depression. Christina I have recently been diagnosed with rosacea.

I am and always have suffered from depression. I never even thought that depression could affect the Rosacea condition. But I guess it makes sense, depression has to affect the body. It has to manifest itself in some way. I have never been happy in life or with my life and it has really affected people around me and my career. Its a very lonely existance. I would love to be a part of a support group or anyone can email me and we could chat. Phil Hi everyone,
