  • i also have this "disease", im scared of going out, it is litterally painful.... i am always looking/thinking about myself...i even look at my shadows.....i am extremely unjudgemental....i often telll people how good they look....i would/could Never tell myself i look good.... i feel like what ever social i might have had is ruined... everyday i think what i could look like if could change my appearance (plastic surgery).....people who say its vanity r completely wrong.. its the exact opposite..

  • She dont have BDD, just COMPLEXEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Me i wanna kill myself, i can't go outside... omggg! IS'T A JOKEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....

  • Won't change my flaws but just alter my mind state, i dont want to be on drugs to live life. So im thinking surgery becasue the only ways the flaws are going away is if i have it fixed. pretty logical to me.

  • I hate looking into the mirror on most days, what i hate is my bulging forehead and my nose, together they ruin what could have a been an attractive face. some days i like it if my hair is just right. but most days i just see a 20yeard old granpa. It goes as far as not going out, panic attacks and anxiety all the time. so would i say i have bdd? no. because it's not a an distorted view . I see my big flaws on my face and i have gotten obsessed with them. But going into therapy or going on meds -

  • What a load of guff! She had BDD - who diagnosed her, an MD or an EFT? She was cured in ONE session? BS! She doesn't even know the name of the disorder they claim she had/has. And her doctor prescribed Pain Killers??? for what? the PAIN her cognitive disorder created? wtf? Everything wreaks of coaching....

  • i have this too. :\

  • She looks like Sandra Bullock

  • I have this too. I also have bipolar disorder.

    She is beautiful. People will tell me this also until they are blue in the face and I still won't believe them.

  • I have this condition to the extreme. I have debated suicide so many times. I still do. The flaws I see are different from the typical, though. I want to be bigger (gain serious weight) and look older in the face. Feeling thin makes me not want to live

  • she's beautiful! It's amazing how actually pretty people are afflicted with this. It really doesn't have anything to do with how you actually look.

  • "God give me the serenity to accept what I can't change, the courage to change what i can, and the wisdom to know the difference"

    Essentially, fuck what other people say about you. Don't classify yourself as ugly, beautiful, handsome etc. Just accept your face, your body as what it is, and know what you can't change. I understand what i look like, and i know that i can lose weight and gain muscle...in the end, this shit is just life...

  • inspiring i hope it lasts xx

  • i have very recently been diagnosed with this horrible disorder, many doctors for many years thought i was depressed, it takes control and effects all aspects of life.

    I have 2 young children and at the moment i cant leave my home its been almost a year now, i als self harm go between anorexia and bulliemea so it kills me is that i am loosing precious time with my children, i cat go 2 the park, 2 feed the ducks instead i watch people walk past my window and pretend i am those ppl :( im so sad

  • But I am glad this beautiful lady is doing good:)

  • After having nasal surgery I have a bit of this. I actually used to think I was a 10/10. Not that i self obsessed, but yeah. Now it hurts to even look in a mirror. Mine isnt so much a belief. My face literally did change. I was perfect, and now I look like shit. I don't know wha to do about this.

  • i got nasal surgery because i felt i was ugly, partly but also my nose was quite messed up, had deviated septum and a bump on the nose. the bump though made me so self conscious about my profile that i would do whatever i could to make sure no one saw me from the side. i hated it, and now after gettin the surgery, i am findin other things to be self conscious about that didn't bother me as much before...crooked teeth, my left eye bein a bit set higher than my right....damn i want to be free

  • I'm sorry:c I know the feeling. a bump in the nose is someimes nice looking. My mom has a bump, and a deviated septum, and she is a gorgeous lady. But I really am sorry you percieve those problems. Sometimes the asymmetrry of a face is what makes it beautiful. Look at the latest box office heart throb- Robert Pattison. He has a crooked nose, uneven eyes, and lots of other weird attributes. Yet he is still considered a 'heart throb'. Your imperfections could be your most defining features:)))

  • I'm so very happy you said those things, it makes me feel so much better...

    I'm very appreciate this, I hate the gap between my teeth and my front left tooth is not straight either its jagged.. I hope to lose this self-delusional attitude, this intense obsession, and I just want to be content with who I am.... It's very difficult and hard to talk about to people because most people just laugh at this or make you feel worse about it, I'm glad there are open minded ppl still out there..

  • I understand . Well I think I do anyways! Just remember even normal people have these thoughts from time to time. And people who are the most displeased with the way they look, are usually better looking people haha. It's a weird phenomena. You just have to work on accepting yourself, a little at a time. This disorder is completly beatable!

  • Check out this book on Amazon: "Psycho-cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz. It's a very good book on how to change the way you think.

  • @dooli1981 hahaha Hi L!

  • She is pretty but i'm pretty sure I don't have the problem. I'm 105 pounds but I literally see a 300 pound person in the mirror. I don't know. People tell me to gain weight including my doctors, but then i'll look even more obese. My view on reality is distorted prolly -_-

  • Well of course, this seemingly disorder is merely a hypnotic trance in which you see what really isn't there. I am sure you seen a hypnotic show where their shoe becomes a puppy.

    But to you do believe in what you are seeing as truth but it is a false trance which has so many emotions involved. I know it is hard to break this pattern but it is possible and I have helped many. You can be free. Peace Robert

  • I'm gay but even I would look twice at her. She's hot.

  • she looks great to me. Very pretty. Its a shame that she does not realize her beauty.

  • this bdd thing completely ruined my whole life.i wanna die because of this f ing ****.i tried EFT many times before but sadly it didnt work for me.Now,sir,explain us,what kind of scripts are used during the eft process with this girl?

  • I used no scripts but rather did her list of bad memories and the emotions around how she saw herself. My tapping style is addressing what you are doing inside yourself. Watch video 118 and do your list the clear it out. It has everything to do with what you are doing to yourself inside yourself. Peace

  • so wot if u're just genuinely ugly? how do i know i hav bdd or if im just ugly

  • Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Love who you are without judgement!

  • @TuRdSandwitch18 meds, never ask this question its not healthy for a BDD sufferer

  • Thats bullshit.. BDD cannot dissapear after 1 session!!! Seriously, I dont believe in these vids that say u can get cured in 1 session.. blah blah blah... (I'd love to believe its true, cuz i'd be the 1st 1 in the queue, for the help!)

    If it helped with the pills/depression and stuff then good on ya! But i can't believe BDD can go away that fast.. :(

  • You are right with YOUR CURRENT understandings it couldn't BUT WITH MY SKILLS AND UNDERSTANDINGS it happened that fast. This last week she came to see me after a year, she wanted help with relationships and what we did worked. She still have the same job, can shop and even date what an amazing change. What is BDD? It is an internal hypnotic trance of seeing what isn't really true, backed with negative experiences that support the problem and so many fears. Her life changed and yours can too!

  • thank god a therapist who doesnt giv out drugs 4 every problem or tell u you need 2 years of therapy

  • Eso pasa cuando las personas en su juventud abusan de las drogas y el alcohol y demasiados quimicos para mantenerse en forma(dietas mortales) para bajar de peso. Todos los excesos se pagan

  • i beleive it is a problem because i know i have it.

    if you ever have nver felt the pain from it and unworthyness then don't talk like you know

    i have borderline personality disorer too

    i mean every mental illness it perception on life on this but sometimes your sooo down you need the extra boot to get to normal and some people can't

    no everyone is the same and thinks the same

    a lot of it is biological and then enviromental things around you to trigger it

  • i also have borderline personality disorder as well as BDD and find each day a living hell. The pain I carry around with me is so intense and it affects every single area of my life. I noticed you posted a year ago and wondered if there has been an improvement in the past year?

  • hey how are u i have borderline personality disorder too along with BDD . i sooo relate to u. i live a pretty hellish life myself. im a very strong person but theres pleny of times i think of commitng suicide. Thers so mcuh a person can take. im 30 and sometimes feel as times go by im gonna age, so i think it might get worse. i've been housebound for 7 years . Of course i go out to go see my therapist or my mom who lives near me, but i can't wait to come back home and feel safe again.

  • I have cured, yes cured people of this in as little as two sessions of hypnotherapy/NLP so don't tell me you are stuck with it like it's some kind of illness this is nothing more than 'learned behaviour' mixed with a hallucinational perception.

    I have several people of which for the sake of confidentiaity will remane nameless, that are completely cured, thats all the proof i need!

  • youve cured psychiatrist diagnosed BDD several times?It is part biological(you want refs?)part environment so it is type of illness."Hallucinational perception?"The delusional form occurs in only some cases,in other cases the defect exists to extent but excessive investment in its importance to self esteem.I have been to clinical hypno maybe 20 times by the way,they had same ideas as you.

  • billysue2 i think you may be gaining from being this way, you are so closed to any different types of cure, this is called secondary gain ,it's like there are some deep rooted benefits to keeping this away eg more attention, not having to do something you don't want to do. This is hard for some people to hear but it exists, not saying you do, but it's possible.

  • since nobody knows I have it bar immediate family nobody treats me differently.Attention by the way is something BDDers would fear not seek.I know secondary gain exists but not believing in an unproven therapy is not an indication of it.Results are not proof,placebo has large effect in any treatment including legit ones.

  • BDD is nothing more than a belief, and if you are closed to help with that belief change then the belief stays. Even placebo relies on believing it doing some good and as I said if you have little or no trust in any type of therapy then the hallucination remains.who is to say what is legit, what I do is legit to those who lead a more normal life after treatment. A BDDer has the ability to believe and stick to that belief, so channeling that ability to a more positive perspective is my aim!

  • Ive been getting therapy(CBT and ssri augmented with antipsychotic)for several years to no effect.Before that hypnotherapy as Ive said before and from 3 different parctitioners.Their rationale was a joke,saying BDD wasnt real problem and trying to discover source of my problem.That and the no evidence thing is why I dont support hypno for BDD.

  • I'm not them, so don't compare! and i did not say it wasn't a real problem!

    You will never get me to say that hypnotherapy and nlp is the cure for all ills, you obviously have some very complex issues that in your case may need a multi pronged approach, but unless you have an actual brain disease, tumor etc then it has to be a perception thing. your eyes work? you presumably dont mistake other things around you eg warp other things etc. so it is to do with how you perceive yourself.

  • its obviously a distortion in perception and in core beliefs.Everyone involved knows this,changing these beliefs is the problem.What exactly would you do with somebody with bdd and co morbid social anxiety disorder? A hypothetical case.

  • it is simply not possible however hypothetical to say what I would do as it is so very individual to every sufferer, all I can say is that I have had success with 'parts therapy'(NLP) and various other techniques, but in short, I just gain all the info I can, and use this to decide on the best way to proceed.Ironically some people actually give me the answer for treatment as they talk to me. Some therapists just do the 'gunshot approach' whereas I REALLY listen to every word, works for me!

  • could you recommend a therapist in rep of ireland and I would be willing to consider trying it.IF it doesnt work then nothing lost.If it does then it proves only that it worked for me , for others we dont know.

  • i have this as i think i am fat

  • this is rubbish you cannot cure bdd ever let alone in 1 session.bdd can only ever be coped with you will always have it to some extent.cbt along with medication support are the only proventreatment for it.

  • Well it rubbish to believe medication and living with a problem is ones fate. BDD is an internal skill and built from ones perception. It is the mental distortion created inside of ones own mind backed with strong emotions. It only took one session (2 hrs) and it completely changed for her.

  • so you have evidence of how many successfully treated bdd case studies which were previously diagnosed by psychiatrist?There exist no research studies showing bdd can be treated by any psychotherapuetic technique other than CBT.Also long term medication is successfully used in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and many people are alive today only due to that.
