Body Dysmorphic Disorder.wmv

[tasteslikecandyy]

Everything written in this video is just sad and very negative. Stop worrying about how you appear and consider enjoying the better things in life that would make u feel good and abundant. you will go no where if ur just hate urself.all the time. Turn ur attention to other things besides staring in the mirror or criticizing urself. Love what ur look like even if u want to change it

[Goldbuns]

Sometimes I just want to rip my face right off. Kinda like that Chimp attack woman. That way when people tell me I am ugly, I feel they would be right. My problem is that I don't find myself ugly, so much as everyone else in the world does. And they make a point of pointing it out to me every chance they get. I think if I really was hideous, I would feel better since then they would actually have something to complain about.

[ameliabethany97]

i'm suffering from BDD, however i do not have all of those symptoms, many of them, yes. And i can't hjelp but hate myself, i spnd hours each day staring into the mirror crying at myself ffor who i am. and i punish myself.

[CaptainKacknup]

Boohoo, some people starve and lose their families in civil wars and some people sob and cry and cut theirselves because they fear they MIGHT not look perfect.

Oh the issues we wealthy nations have to bear...

Don't make me laugh.

[Eli666Ms]

most abused children have this...the shame is so deep inside that they can't show their face if not through a mask :(

And some are not capable of normal love/sexual relationships.

I would like to kill who does this to children

[foreverneverO7]

@Eli666Ms sounds so much like michael jackson.

[Eli666Ms]

@foreverneverO7 poor Michael, and also LaToya, and all the Jackson brothers had plastic surgery..bc of Joe Jackson, he is a monster, he used to say abt young Michael "he should do something with his nose!".. he only loved his children when they were perfect, and he humiliated and beated them if they didnt dance perfectly, what kind of life can they have? they would die to be perfect bc PERFECTION MEANS TO BE LOVED! death to Joe Jackson! they die searching for st wich doesnt exist: perfection :(

[thebeautiful1s]

why does this describe me too well :(

[SquishTheLish]

@thebeautiful1s Well it can't be you, because your username is thebeautiful1s.............

.......You're too confident. HAHA

[mackunmc]

i think i really had bdd.. i don't even want to be seen by other people.. am just always inside my room.. =(

[CourtneyRalynn12]

I don't care what anyone says. But I see no reason for plastic surgery just to make you looks "better". Everyone is beautiful. Now if it can save your life and make you live better, fine. Like for example, cleft lip, that's the perfect reason for a surgery. Just to enhance you looks, now that unreasonable.

[lythicia999]

Micheal Jackson and Heidi Montag are sick! I understand i have BDD. I dont have friend, no school, i can see my family.. :(

[HeyLookTheSunSmiled]

Sometimes, I really wanna just scream everything out, this ugliness and pain is great, but I'm far too afraid of my friends thinking I'm just whining. I can't talk to friends, families and with school out, even counselors aren't available (not that I could talk to them :P) it's frustrating

[xHuntressx]

this song is called:

Bliss tearing eyes

i love it ♥

[xXemilyisstrangeXx]

This is kind of generalizing. Not all BDD sufferers have all of these symptoms. Self harming draws attention to them and thats exactly what they dont want. I dont like this video, sorry.

[abigailsID]

@xXemilyisstrangeXx thanks for making that point about this video.....i agree

[KeesusChrist]

@xXemilyisstrangeXx If you notice it says "SOME" before most of the symptoms, so that's not really generalizing.

[zBatboyz]

@xXemilyisstrangeXx You can self harm without telling or showing people too, you know.

[TheJanaKristina]

WIESO muss ausgerechnet ich mit dieser krankheit leben?

[TheJanaKristina]

wieso ich????

[cosg9531]

Whatever you are is what you are. Deal. Make the most of whatever you are. Whatever that is. Comparisons to others just waste otherewise useful time when you could be accomplishing something.

[YaoiKittens]

@cosg9531 But, me having BDD as well, you can't fully comprehend what its like.

Looking in the mirror and seeing a flaw to us, is like you just learning your best friend died.

The feeling hurts, and at that point, we feel like we need to fix it.

It's terrible, and we put on pounds and pounds of makeup only to make ourselves feel better.

Of course, I get therapy, doesn't work fast but it helps. I can't, literally CAN'T, go out without hair and makeup done.

And I'm a very very vain boy.

[mackunmc]

@YaoiKittens: i think i had a bdd also.. am a boy but everytime i look in the mirror a find my self ugly... =(

[YaoiKittens]

@mackunmc I completely understand. It's terrible.

[shaershaf]

@nurulaynMahsa @Natthix @SingleVirginForever ... Beauty is a big word, you know. The big nose you have, can look totally disgusting to you, but there are people that think a big nose is so adorable! You know what also helps?? Google "stars without make up". Its bloody funny and it makes you feel better right away!!

Right, this is the end. Hope I helped you guys with my message!

XO

[shaershaf]

@nurulaynMahsa @Natthix @SingleVirginForever Dear people (and many other persons, I found a lot!), I used to really believe how ugly I was. Whats my biggest imperfection? My skin. I didnt dare to look in the mirror anymore, didnt dare to go outside when I didnt look "good", and I ditched school a lot. I cant handle it either, I feel to insecure and weak to do something about it. I cry every time I look in the mirror. But you know what?? We shouldnt do that at all!!! beauty is a big. (read prt 2)

[stargaze00]

How is this anthropology?

[passionflower88]

Please don't call urself ugly you guys, and esp. at 14, you're only just beginning to grow into your looks, who doesn't feel insecure abt their looks at 14, i bet you're real pretty, i remember how insecure i would get a lot of the time as a teenager, but nw am 22 and very happy in my own skin, no plastic surguries needed, u can imagine doing so much with a luscious lower lip and nose job!? I always thought i needed it too, but apparently i don't now that i'm old enuf to realize..

[alotofx]

i just wonder how come we don't hear about any body dysmorphic disorder cases in places like south africa

[1958boomergirl]

@alotofx You have a really good question here, alotofx. Thank you for asking it. Is Body Dysmorphic Disorder only prevalent in the industrialized countries? Or is it truly worldwide? In my opinion, I see a real irony playing out here, and students of psychology should be able to understand where I'm going with this.

[Natthix]

I have this disorder and I am 14 yrs old. I wanna die I cant stand watching at other girls that are prettier than my.

I need help!! all I want is a nose surgery and my lower lip reduction!!! :'(

[mchudi91]

@Natthix oh no, dont say that about yourself......and please dont start thinking about surgery at such a tender age!!....you may think that your nose and lips are ugly but someone may secretly think there your best features!! have you thought about seeking theraphy to help you deal with this disorder? or maybe thers like a BDD help group you can join in your area; so you can talk to like minded sufferers so u realise ur not alone. just my opinion, all the best though!!! xxx

[nurulaynMahsa]

I can relate to this :(

[jesserturner]

My name is Jesse.I was a boy on the oprah show with jenny..the woman that has the before and after photo.The diese will kill you......no one uploaded me here....its because im ugly......

[SingleVirginForever]

I don't have Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I'm actually really ugly and I need to fix it with plastic surgery. I cover my face in public so nobody would get blind. My uglyness is that bad and I feel like I'm about to cry everytime I look at my face. I hate being ugly and yes I'm actually ugly. I really want to be pretty its my dream.

[kittyXmomo]

@SingleVirginForever same thing here...

[afrika201111]

i know i have like no social life because i dont like to be at parties with other preety girls of in the school bathroom because am constantly comparing myself to them ughhh just imagining myself is eating me up i just hate myself

[fauvii]

What's the song called?

[CountessGrotesque]

There is one very important factor you missed in this video.

You mention some people cant stop looking in the mirror..well MANY ppl with BDD end up in the entertainment industry, actors, models, performers etc..where they feel the need to be seen..even if they hate how they look, in hope that someone will see true beauty there one day..but even when told..they'll never believe it.

[nyxong24]

I usually put my head down or i turn away or put my hand in the way when people take my picture, I can't stand taking pictures. I know the struggle of BDD I can't say I could even help someone else with BDD because that would just make the both of us worse.

[viletones]

Not all of us self harm

[girlistgirl]

i wonder if people who have this problem are known to make fun of other people's appereance too? like their friends, and family, etc?

[lippy170]

megan fox has this

[Corruptedz]

Speaking from my own experience, BDD effects people in different ways obviously, some people take constant pictures of themselves, some people 'shy' away from cameras, but the people who take pictures of themselves look into so much distorted "detail" it appears real, for example if you stare at something long enough you start to see it differently, personally that's where i think it starts embedding itself, personally i think it stems mainly from insecurity and other peoples idea of fun remarks

[draculasSon21]

I used to have BBD too, started at 15 'till 20-21 than i changed my lifestyle ..got in the gym.. i tried to fix the things i wasn't happy about..i think i'm ok now.. i don't feel like hiding at all.. i'm 26 y o now,,,

[collagengirl]

I agree with most of this apart from BDD sufferers hate cameras because i have severe BDD and can't stop taking pictures of myself as a way of checking i look ok and won't leave the hosue sometimes until i get one photo i am more happy with.

It's a horrible thing to have really is!

[AnimalLover881]

i think i have bdd cuz i selfharmed myself after reciving a rude comment

[IndependantW]

This was, I presume, a college project? I don't think they teach anthro in grade school. But this it is so shallow, meaningless, and and inconsequntial it looks more like something a 3rd grader might do. I guess one of the downsides to You Tube is that everyone with Powerpoint and the ability to scavenge photos off the internet thinks they are film makers.

[OMGTorikunx3]

Thank you for uploading this video. i have BDD.. And i love you for making people more aware of what is going on with different people in their everyday life, and how much they suffer<3

[Downtownpatrol]

@OMGTorikunx3 hi, i spotted your comment, i'm going on to make videos (speaking ones) bout BDD. I'm sorry you have this too, BDD can be really hard to lve with, stay strong xxx

[tubbi]

I'm not sure if I have this. So what happens if you actually are really ugly and hate the way you look and are depressed because of it? Does that mean you have BDD? ...Because you are justified in your claims that you're ugly, in that case. I'm not sure if I have it or if I am actually hideously ugly. I feel like I have evident flaws, so I'm not sure if people actually think I look alright, or if they're lying, or if they don't know me well enough (or too used to me) to notice them.

[Downtownpatrol]

@tubbi if you are concerntrating on your flaws, imagined or not, then it might be BDD. Body dysmorphia is a disorder similar to obsessive compulsive disorder, so if you have ocd you might have bdd too becasue like people with ocd, you are obsessing about your flaw(s) and doing thins compulsively to try and make your thoughts go away.

[Downtownpatrol]

@tubbi (continiued) If it is effecting your life, and you aren't doing the things you want/should be doing because o the fear of your perception of yourself then you possibly might have? sorry for rambing!

[LadyZeppelin1960]

@tubbi Sweetie. Believe me when I say this. Life is yin and yang. What is beautiful is an opinion. Believe me. Mainstream media has convinced people that fake people are beautiful. Nothing can top the true beauty and nature of your humble heart. Love yourself.

[Corruptedz]

@tubbi

Same boat ;), I understand BDD but i can't realize it? how do you know if somebody or yourself is 'truly ugly'? even the most beautiful people in our mindsif isolated would start to wonder if they are good looking, they wouldnt know it because nobody has told them or nobody has fallen madly in love with them. Point being we isolate ourselves, then question reason and just accept our thoughts, I actually twist what people say after its been said, or my memory of an event becomes distorted

[SingleVirginForever]

@tubbi I'm actually really ugly :(

[gothbabii188]

@SingleVirginForever nobody's ugly, we're all just unique in our own way :-)

[passionflower88]

@gothbabii188 I agree!!

[HitchHikersBlues]

I've known for a long time there was somethin wrong.

Now i know!

[tessab0o]

this made me cry

[4EvaThrowed]

@tessab0o Why did this make you cry.

[nbmp80]

wtf!! im sick??

[wineberry5]

i suffer from this disorder my NAME is dysmorphic disorder i wanted to die when i was 9 beacause of it but not how i looked, it was about my voice," my voice is not normal" but it was, i had it from age 5 to maybe 16, but i still fall in to it. everywhere i went it was about my voice being horrible, but then i started to sing to like it more,i realized i did not just had a normal voice i could even sing, but STILL i have problems

[schmare55]

Please can someone help me what can i do i have this problem.Cant leave my house and i dont know what do to. My family's heart is broken i have no idea what i can do its terrible to life with that. Please if someone know something tell me what i can do. please

[gonzalis18]

@schmare55 i too have this problem but i challenge myself by working out to improve my shape, it really works :)

[RedandWhite84]

@schmare55 - Were you clinically diagnosed with BDD?? If not, people cant really dianose themselves with it UNLESS, your absolutely positive you have it.. You say that you cant leave your house, then that means its pretty severe and in that case i would seek professional help. Whoever you go too, tell them all the signs/symptoms your having and they will see if its BDD. Medication and therapy ABSOLUTELY DOES HELP.

[schmare55]

Please can someone help me what can i do i have this problem.Cant leave my house and i dont know what do to. My family's heart is broken i have no idea what i can do its terrible to life with that. Please if someone know something tell me what i can do. please

[Desiredperfection]

Ive just set up a newself image online forum to provide a network of support for young girls suffering from these issues, please take a look and join us to create this strength selfimageandme. c o m

[MegaKatie22]

@ScorpionFire98 dude - guys DO suffer from this disorder, look up the statistics online. It is a MYTH that "almost all girls have this issue"... You are soooo mis-informed. Also, NOT ALL Girls / Women want to know if they are sexy and beautiful... Quite a lot of us ALREADY know that if we have a healthy self-confidence. It IS NOT an absolute must for Girls / Women to seek re-assurance from boys / men. GROW UP.... or at the very LEAST, get your facts right. RESEARCH before you comment dude!!!

[SexiSez]

oooo great song! please, what is the name and band? love the video V powerful

[WeThePeopleRleaders]

wow ive never heard of this...and it sounds like me

[79Jinx79]

@WeThePeopleRleaders YES, WOW! cause U are a psychologist, and U are able to diagnoss those diseases -.-

dumb follower...

[emelton07]

@79Jinx79 Why would you be so rude?

[Jayybirdxx]

What's the song in this video?

[mastior]

Quack Quack

[ayilatan]

i don't think it's about having a low self-esteem. any unpretty girl would love to get something done to look better. and if the don't, then they ether don't have money or really have a low self-esteem believing that nothing can be done for them to look prettier anyways... sad, btw

[kandidandi09]

this disorder is so real..i think i am suffern from it right now and have been 4 bout a yr now...its horrible and i feel i have no choice but to except what i look like cuz its not gna change but as a perfectionist i dont think that im ever goin 2 except m ugly face. so boo hoo 4 me lifes a bitch then u die!

[BigBikerBob1]

They need to deal with their issues. That plastic surgery shit is no good. Aloha

[hannacompgeek5]

thx for more awareness of bdd ;)

[MiNaDaNiE]

i am beautiful. i am perfect. except i have all these flaws that ruin me. otherwise i'd be okay.

[NuclearPlanet]

everyone has flaws

[MiNaDaNiE]

i have more

[passionholic899]

i think i have BDD currently, but im trying to overcome it by convincing myself to be satisfied...but it's being really hard to resist the urge to go under the knife even though i know that won't be the solution...

[MiNaDaNiE]

nah dont. if hate yourself that much obsess over natural healing. they could really jack your face/body up under the knife. i wouldn't do it.

[ClaireLovesCritters]

I don't believe in this disorder, if you're ugly you're ugly, I know I am deformed, I am a realist.

Maybe we don't think people who say their ugly are ugly, but that's just our perception.

Maybe they are ugly, hell I know I am ugly, just no one can see it other than me.

[Duphe]

There are two types of this disorder. One is pretty looking people thinking they would be ugly, this is to be treated by psychological help. the other type is normal or ugly people being deeply depressed about their look. this type is also known as "thersites syndrome". aesthetic surgery can help though such measures have to be thought through because the have huge risks.

[sotahjarta]

Heidi montag should watch this video

[DragonFly122]

@sotahjarta If Heidi REALLY had BDD she wouldn't be obsessed with becoming famous.

[alttab7890]

@sotahjarta Agreed.She was soo ,much prettier BEFORE the surgery!....all that money should go to homeless people in south america for example..

[NawTiNinja]

the question is, how do you knOw if you have BDD or if you really are ugly? Thats why so many people dont know that they have it. When people tell me im pretty I assume theyre taking the piss :/

[angeliesings]

No matter what your looks are you can have BDD

[liacashmere58]

Lil kim and Michael Jackson have this

[deemilieu]

mj for sure. poor guy. at least he's at peace now.

[annak332]

i have b.d.d. diagnoseddd today :/

this all sounds like me but i dont self harm. sometimes it goes away when im having fun :)

[STARkay778]

no one is ugly

[deemilieu]

"no one is ugly"

hitler? charles manson...evil, mean people.

[Adler36]

I also hate the way I look. But I don't think that I'm ill or something. I'm really ugly, and I will get under the knife, when I have the money for cosmetic surgery!!!

[kaz271]

rly gud vid

[yeahitsmebrittany]

[TashaRichardsonFan]

We learned about this disorder today in my abnormal psychology class:D And i am reading a book Called*Broken Mirror* By Katherine A.Philips.M.D.

[greenpalaka]

im 16 male... things went bad lastweek when i had a wrong haircut.... i was so mad... i was crying... crying...crying....

i attempted succide by tjaing many pills at a time.. good/bad thing.. it didnt killed me... im a very secretive and passive person..

[sexiscchic]

Well, I truly hope you got over the haircut because your hair will always grow back but you only have one life and once that's gone, that's it. Good Luck to u!

[x0xFallenAngelx0]

I see you still haven't deleted my video, just my comment asking you to take it off.
