This channel is dedicated to short films about my life suffering and living with bad mental health. The first mini biography is about BDD- Body Dysmorphic Disorder which is the belief that you are hideously disfigured in someway when the defect is small or nonexistent.

I am also the author of the novel "Suicide Junkie", published by Chipmunka publishing, which not only covers my experiences with BDD, but also Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, alcoholism and self-harm. I hope to make these topics into short films also.
I also have a book of short prose called 'A Moment Gone'

For more information, please refer to my book which is available at all major bookstores, or to my website www.SWestwood.com.


I am happy to hear from anyone who feels they can empathise with my films, who needs someone to empathise with them, or if you just want to talk about something that is worrying you.

Hi Stephen! You are so brave.. I myself have borderline and this is a very strange disorder as you know. Very difficult to live with in many ways. I just want to say thank you for being so open about your life and pain. This is truly amazing what you are doing! I would love if you would add me as your friend here and on facebook.. I think we have some things in common. Ditte from Denmark.......
