Hi all, I post regularly in the BDD ( body dysmorphic disorder) forum but my BDD exists because of chronic trauma due to constant bullying everyday fromt he age of about 3-13. And then again from 18-21..
I just wanted to say hello and offer my help or advice to anyone who has been through similar experiences. And also to say that you're not alone.. it's really hard to deal with maladapted belief systems due to our experiences but I am managing to just about function at the age of 27..
I've had patches of extreme depression and even some experiences of minor bullying/attacking on here ( see my post int he BDD forum where one particular member was rather unpleasant about my mental state) but managing to function with difficulty.. I always find it hard to take my own advice but If this will help people reading this I want to advise that it's in no way your fault or there is nothing about you that makes you bullyable.. I still feel it's my fault and try to live based on this advice every day of my life.. If i can help anyone please dont feel afraid to post to this.. I have recieved lots of help from lovely people in the BDD forum and would like to do the same here ..
