Anyone else break out after a really good week, not a stressful one?

Everyone talks about stress as the big trigger but mine seem to show up after the best weeks, like a holiday, a wedding, a big night out with friends. I keep thinking maybe it is the late nights and the lack of sleep catching up with me rather than the fun itself. Does anyone else notice this pattern, and did you find a way to enjoy the good stuff without paying for it a few days later?

Yes, honestly this is the one that used to drive me crazy, I'd finally relax on a trip or after a big win and boom there it was, like my body was waiting for me to let my guard down. I've kind of made peace with it now and just keep my routine going even when I feel great.

Great question, and you are not alone with this. Catching the trigger early is where most of the difference comes from.

Yes, this is me every time, I finally relax after a long stretch and my lip decides that's the moment to act up. I've kind of stopped trying to make sense of it and just keep an eye on things during the good weeks too.
