Recurring abscesses around waistline

I've talked to the doctor about the acne and recurring abscesses around my waist and butt but he seemed to think there was nothing to be done about it. I find that very strange.

These abscesses always seem to occur in the same locations or at least very close to each other, they're very large and deep and the liquid inside is bloody and rancid. There must be more to do than just "keeping the area clean" to prevent them.

I worry sometimes that the filth that's in these pockets is going to breach through the skin and give me sepsis. Is getting sepsis from abscesses a heard of phenomenon?

Anyone else feel like there's lacerations on their butthole after pooping even though there clearly aren't?

Every time I poop, even if it's an easy poop, I use the bidet and it feels painful, like the water is hitting some kind of open wound. I go to wipe--no blood. Why?

Mirtazapine

My psychiatrist has prescribed me mirtazapine for my insomnia. Why? It's an antidepressant. I'm reading the drug facts right now and it doesn't say anything about causing drowsiness or treating insomnia. Also, the side effects look brutal.

"All people who take this drug need to be watched closely. Call the doctor right away if signs like depression, nervousness, restlessness, grouchiness, panic attacks, or changes in mood or actions are new or worse. Call the doctor right away if any thoughts or actions of suicide occur."

I'm not sure I should be taking this *just* to treat insomnia.

I am in acne hell

I don't know what to do. Skin care only works as a preventative measure and I'm not putting a bunch of sticky shit on my face.

By the time my body calms down back to normal I'm probably gonna have a bunch of pockmark scars all over my face. There's not even anything I can do about it really--you either give yourself scarring by picking at it or you do nothing and it scars anyways.

It wouldn't even be that bad if it were just ugly blemishes but no, acne is legit painful, even if you don't pick at it. There's so much tension and pressure sitting under the skin, it's like a pressure cooker without a valve, like it's about to explode.

is there a mod which lets your sim make different kinds of paintings depending on their personality traits like in The Sims 3?

I went looking for mods like that myself but I couldn't really find anything.

Malwarebytes says The Sims 4 Updater is a virus and is removing it automatically.

I'm not really sure what happened, it was working fine just a few minutes ago. I tried to make an exception and I tried to set it to run as administrator but as soon as I unzip the file Malwarebytes deletes it.

I don't know what to do, it's hard to sleep and I'm in a lot of pain and I don't know why. My legs are constantly sore these days and I feel so dizzy.

I took an SRRS today as part of my Psych. class. I'm aware that a score of 250 is considered OVERSTRESSED and a score over 300 can cause health issued down the line. I had a score of 395. Almost 400.

I dunno, it's probably just pseudo-science but it's still making me worry. Am I gonna stress myself to death or something? Give myself cancer through stressing? I mean--I can't just *not* stress, that's not how it works, so I don't know what to do.
