Thankyou for all the replies.

I've so far been treated entirely by the NHS, I looked into going privately but i can't afford that sadly, - It does seem like such a promising treatment i would if i could.

My previous therapist who was treating my anxiety disorders with CBT told me she believed i had Schema level issues but that we didn't have the time to address them and she would try and refer me on to somewhere that i could recieve long term schema therapy. Sadly we found out that it's currently not widely available.
In the mean time she lent me a copy of 'Reinventing Your Life' which i found incredibly mind-blowing... i actually had to stop reading it as i found it very upsetting, so very informative; it's very strange to see so much of yourself there on paper..
I am going to resume reading that book as soon as i'm in a better place.. i'm going to be starting some new meds which hopefully will help me out.

Since reading what i have of that book i'm beginning to notice my behaviors and how they fit into the Schemas... i'll be honest it's actually a relief to know what it is, and that there is a way to address it.
Just like before i got diagnosed with BDD - i had thought i was the only one in the world who felt like that.. my own personal 'fault' that no-one would ever understand.

Thanks for all the advise, and i wish you well in your recoveries.
