I'm pretty sure the poster wanted tips to deal with the impact the mental health issue has on his/her daily life, not tips on improving his/her appearance or voice.
If the member would like to clarify that question it might be best all around but it seems pretty clear from his/her followup posts that beauty tips are not the aim of the thread. It isn't my goal to start an argument here... just trying to help the poster get some good answers on the issue. |

OP started the thread by saying that they viewed the photographs of incredibly attractive people and became hugely upset.

OP did not try that approach. Comparing oneself only to incredibly attractive people is a bad habit on a
cognitive level. It has nothing to do with imaginary flaws listed as symptoms of BDD.
