Several years I had jaw surgery to correct chronic TMD. Well the surgery left me with nerve damage. Now the skin on my face sags due to lack of nerve signals. This problem became evident after the surgery. My face was fine before.
I am obsessed about my face. I now look like I am 70. I obsess about my appearance
The way I look never leaves my thoughts all day every day. I always try to turn away from people so they only see the "better" side.
I could borrow money to see a plastic surgeon but I am afraid he also will do me damage.
I just dont know how to stop thinking about how bad I look. I dont know how to accept the fact that I look way older than I am.
If anyone else has obsessed over the same kind of thing I would appreciate your advice. Please no pat answers. This is so painful for me.
