insecure about hair :(

around this time last year i chopped all my hair off into a short pixie, and since june i've been growing it out. right now it's at that stage where it's all in my face and an awkward length where some pieces stick up and others fall where they shouldn't be. i'm not the type of girl to wear headbands or any of those visible pins, i don't like how they look on me. i tried doing my hair 4 different ways today and each of them looked worse than the last and now i'm starting to feel really insecure about my hair and i just want to wear a hat until it all falls off. i have bad forehead acne so when i tried hairstyles that pushed my hair off my forehead i just felt 10 times worse and i can't think of any way to style my hair at least until it's long enough to turn it into a bob. please help. i'll include a pic of myself for a reference type thingy. thanks
