I bolded the parts that I think might make it easier to understand why a makeover isn't going to help.
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. |
Just popping in again... to say that I don't really appreciate the implication that I'm trying to come off as being someone who is trained in CBT. That was an inappropriate way to trying to put words into my mouth that I've never said.

I saw a couple photos of incredibly attractive people earlier, and I have been feeling disgusted with myself ever since. Does anyone have tips for BDD?

That's all the OP said in their post, so you've just given us your interpretation of that. My own interpretation included wanting tips both on how to improve self-esteem in regards to body-image and tips on the impact. However; I only had any suggestions regarding one, so that was what I included in my responses.
