But no matter how much CBT, therapy/therapists, mental health carers I saw/have seen I still find myself in the same situation. Because i have Bdd NO ONE will help me Physically change my apperance they will only offer mental help EVEN though it does not work for me.
I have seen about 6 bdd suffers on tv who despite having bdd have had a lot of surgery, Or girls who are depressed with their breasts/nose get referrals for surgery and sex changes all due to them not being able to function in life due to what they hate on their bodys.
Instead I get mocked or told off. I remember a psychologist telling my mum " Your daughter is just a little anxious and unconfident, shes doing this to get what she wants, she hasn't tryed to kill herself yet so theres not really a big problem"
I didn't attempt suicide because i was trying to get well I just self harmed BUT beacuse they can't SEE anything wrong ? with my apperance they started asking me if i'd been abused and if this is why i hate myself and can't look in mirrors. They wouldn't accept me saying I HATE my apperance and I want to see a physical change please as i have been through the therapy and am on medication and it does liitle/nothing in helping me.
So I'm at the point now where I'm thinking back to what the psychologist said And i remember saying to him I haven't cut my face because i want it to look better not worst. What do they want me to do Slice up my face and then say "well now you can see ! it, You can make it better because you can't say its not there now" but they wouldn't change it anyway they'd just lock me away so im fighting a losing battle and im going to end uo dead in a miniute because no one takes a blind bit of notice to what i'm saying and if they did they could make a lot of it dissapear.

Wow I am sorry. I have a friend with BDD...the only hope is not to convince yourself your good looking or decent looking or anything like that at all. The only way to go on is to live with the notion that looks do not count and people will love you for who you are.
It's like an anorexic who thinks she's fat you can scream and tell her she's 80lbs but thats not going to help.
If you need to talk leave a message! I'll personally help you via web cam. Although I am young I am personally educated on this subject.
Exercise or sports may help you feel better. Also volunteering with older people. I took my friend to the burn unit even to show her how fortunate she is. Also consider being around animals: horseback riding, bonding with house pets, etc. they offer unconditional love.

I am noticing, and I am doing you a huge favor if you will just listen and try it .
Regular therapy has nothing to heal with, that is why it doesnt heal, and doesnt work alot,unless you happen to be one of the few that dont really need it, and can talk about it tomake it better.
Most people who need help, cannot do that.
