This channel was 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 had that disorder for years, have the odd reoccurrence, will probably never be 100%, but I am very much recovered.  It IS possible.

I am the author of my autobiography  "Suicide Junkie", published by Chipmunka publishing, which not only covers my experiences with BDD, but also Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, self-harm and suicide. 

I also have a book of short prose called 'A Moment Gone'

After years of battling mental health problems and about four years actively working in the field of mental health I am now feeling much better and hardly recognise the person on these videos or in my book... this is great for me and should give you all hope...  It is possible to be in the darkest place and rise up from it- scarred- changed- but ultimately positive.  I am aware I may slip back, but whenever I have, I have come back fighting.

I am bowing out of my mental health work as I feel that is best for me at this point, but I will never forget and will always remember where I have come from.

Good luck on your individual journeys, you never know where they will lead you.
