Body Dysmorphic Disorder: Mick's Story

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) can happen when people become overly concerned or bothered by something about their physical appearance. It is not about being self-obsessed or vain. People with BDD usually feel ashamed about how they look. Mick opens up about his experience with BDD and reflects on how he is coming to terms with it.

Thank you, I really needed this. I’ve only heard of BDD as like a weight thing and never knew it had a broader spectrum and I realize I go through this as well, due to verbal abuse from my dad. I’m thankful I’ve come across this to help my awareness of something I never knew I needed.

Thank for sharing this, it’s hard when your constantly reminded that your overweight yet when I try to loose weight they are always saying I’m being bullied into it, I can’t even look at myself properly in the mirror because I look “disgusting” and ugly, I hope one day, I can overcome this feeling

Thanks for sharing. Me, too!! 😮. I don’t like the mirror.
