This discussion is spot on. I've been working from home, and these days it's just me and the mirror. And I have a Zoom interview today. Even though I've been told that I'll probably get the job, all I can think of is how ugly I'll look in the screen.
Thank you so much for this video. I am a 63 yr old woman. I am beginning to understand the ruminations, mirror checking, and other issues that I have as OCD. BDD sounds so much like my struggles. I have had a lot of therapy with no mention of BDD. I hope at my age there is still hope for improvement. ❤
Having BDD and it's making me so tired. It's been always about my face shape - wide and square/chubby. I've lost weight, underwent some jaw botox treatment to slim it down, and it was good but only for a year or so. Now I'm obsessed with it again thinking maybe it's back to what is used to be like, or maybe the treatment made it worse. On top of that, I'm 35 and the first signs of aging start appearing. Can't handle it anymore.
I am currently experiencing a similar case. I am trying to lose weight in order to lose my face fat. I don't think I am going to be satisfied with my face even if I lost a lot of weight. I am considering gettin the botox. I don't know if that would solve the problem
@@cidneywhite2550 Botox has dramatically changed my face shape - I used to have hypertrophied masseter muscles due to bruxism, which was making my face looking fatter and bulkier. I was only 114 lbs and 5'4 and still my face looked like I had at least 10kgs more. Botox helped big time.
Thanks a lot but how i can manage this disorder. I take treatment and it help me a lot. But sometimes i am not on track but whay to do!!! I am confused on many thing
Is it possible to treat BDD without medication? I refuse to be put back on any anti depressant for many reasons.... I am however willing to do any other treatment. I’m scared to get help for this again because I really don’t want to be put back on those meds.. I have really good reasons not wanting to be on them. Don’t want to get into it right now...
That's for the best medication is in a permanent solution I suffer from it as well and if I'm totally honest it's probably never going to go away but cognitive behavioral therapy is the only other proven solution that I'm aware of.
Hey Lisa, thats my thought exactly, ssri dont do it for me anymore. Cbt is a good therapy form and practising mindfullness help more than any ssri's will do.
Hair…buzz it off, grow, buzz, grow, buzz…hair transplant scars …it never stops…kidding myself…rationalizing…can’t compromise….going around in circles…weak sense of self…etc…it goes on.
You guys are all figthers. My son is only 14 years old and has BDD. He has been suicidal and not willing to get help right now. Avoiding mirrors and stuck in the internet to find a solution for BDD. I am desperate 😭 as it is shattering my family. How to get support for parents to go help them? He started going to a psychologist but he thinks it will not help Him!
Well I'm obviously late to this party, so far I've changed my hair colour twice, shaved my eyebrows off and completely dependant on wearing a mask even when it's not necessary, can't help but laugh at myself right now, I'll cry tomorrow.....
