Sorry hon, it doesn't ever go completely away. There are ways to help though.
You discovered the 'nobody likes me' phase cure, congratulations!
I can maybe help with the stage fright a little bit. I still remember my first audition... I couldn't feel my hands. That was awful. What I did then, was to go to as many auditions as I could. A large part of getting over the fright is focus. Fall into your music. Let it envelop you. If you can, practice in front of people. Do it with lights on you. Simulate as much as you can, your performance while practicing. Lastly, remember that other musicians are far more likely to be critical of your work than audiences. If you are doing well in front of them, the audience will see you as fantastic.Acne is something best discussed with your physician or dermatologist. I saw something on one of those infomercials that supposedly worked wonders, but I don't remember what the name is.
Spring fever.... enjoy!
That's all the help I can offer. Good luck.
