Hey summer,

I've never been diagnosed with BDD, but I have extreme self esteem issues and literally hate everything about myself.. it's a hard thing to deal with. I understand that everyone in the world could tell you they find you to be beautiful, but it's never something that you can accept as truth.

I've never sought help for it, though my doctors do know about my extreme self esteem problems. They don't really seem to do anything to help them, though.. so I don't know what to do. I've never considered plastic surgery only because I've watched those shows about it and so many horrible things can happen!

My best advice would be to listen to your fiance. He loves you just as you look now, and if he doesn't want you to do it, you should really consider his opinion.
