I've been thinking for quite some time now that I may be suffering from BDD. To give you a briefing of my vital stats: I'm 16, 5'7", 9st 9lbs, bust 32F, dress size 10. According to the BMI I am 'normal'- then why do I look so fat? My belly is grotesque, I cannot stand it and want to get it sucked out, it's so ugly, my whole body wobbles, I'm a disgraceful example of ...

According to Beck and Freeman, patients with schizoid personality disorders consider themselves to be “observers rather than participants in the world around them.” (I read that from Wikipedia.org)

This is why this statement interested me. When i was younger i would be effected by catastrophic events and accidents of the sort but for the past 7 years seeing these type of things dont effect me in any way. (ei Im and Iraqi war veteran.) In ...

I read about BDD In a magazine I get alot and I think I might have it but I dont want to tell anyone.

Since i have been 12 I would go in and out of stages were I would get very depressed over my weight and would ...

“if there is a wet drunk out there reading this, I tell you this now, that if you follow the 12 steps as outlined in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, and do so thoroughly and with the aid of a sponsor, you will get and stay sober. That is a promise.”

i qualified that promise with the key word “thoroughly” that is the one thing that separates success stories from repeated failure.

Hi,

We are looking for people to appear on a new television show exploring Amnesia.

We are particularly looking for people who have suffered with severe memory loss, rebuilt their lives and then lost their memory again!!

If you or you know anyone that would be willing to take part in a documentary following that journey, please get in touch!

All information will be dealt with in confidence!

Thanks

I'm miserable because I'm a "looking glass" female. I'm calling myself that because I'm female and heterosexual, but apparently my preferences and actions are more masculine in nature. For example, if I want a guy to notice me, I'll rely on actions or talents instead of dressing up. I was never interested in raising children -- only attaining excellence and recognition in my profession. I took some of those "brain sex" tests and they showed ...

Hi,
I have been diognosed with severe major depression. I'm 19, and I'm a guy. I feel so sad and so much pain it's tearing me apart. It has been almost a year in this episode of depression, and it's by far my worst. I get extremely despressed when I get rejected by girls (Guys too, but not nearly as much). I think about girls and relationships most of my day. Meeting that special someone ...
