Hello,
I have BDD, and a severe case of it, too

It consumes my life! I've posted before, but I feel I need to vent here. I may be annoying.
My BDD has gotten to a point where I'm now dying for surgery. I've begged my fiance to set up a consultation and possibly have done, a certain procedure that I want. He's begging me not to, though. It's just so damned tough, going through this everyday.
I cry all the time, I can't look in a mirror. My self-esteem is NIL! I've never felt so eaten alive inside
I have a therapist, am on medication, and all of this is still not combating this ugly monster.
I feel like I'm the ugly monster.
I would really love to hear stories of people here who have BDD, what you do to cope, have you thought or have done plastic surgery, or just people who have had it and over came it.
Or just understanding people.
