I've been going through a hellish week. I've been so depressed, down and out of it, my flame is burning out
I've been seeing my therapist, taking my medication, yet nothing is helping me and having hardly anyone around me who understands and saying I should just get over myself is not helping, either. My Body Dysmorphic Disorder is really getting the best of me. I feel like the ugliest person to walk the earth. Everyone says it's sounds retarded, and it may, but I just can't help it.
I try everything possible to help myself, but my mind just wanders back into it's patter of this negative thinking. Along with my BDD, OCD, depression, and rage (if that isn't enough) I suffer with cluster headaches. I'm only 23, and I can't believe all this BS that I'm going through.
It interferes with my studies, my social life, my fiance isn't much help, anymore, he seems to want to blame me for this.
I can't look in the mirror, for fear of a BDD attack, because I think I am hideous.
I've had feeling of suicide, self injury because the pain is unbearable, and with hardly any support (therapist, I know all they care about is the money) it's hard to keep going strong.
My fiance gets mad at me when I feel down about myself, and when I'm having an anxiety attack. He says I have a retarded thinking pattern, and that I inflict this on myself (yeah right, like I chose to be raped and to despise myself). He just doesn't understand, that when he tells me that, it doesn't help at all.
I just wanted to vent, as I am having another bad day.
Maybe someone out there can give me a few tips on how to help myself in other ways, of if anyone else is going through similar things like this.

Hello ((((SUMMERFLOWER)))
It is good to hear from you again Summer. I feel that you should call your Dr or therapist to tell them how you feel you may need your meds adjusted or your therapy schedule adjusted. A support group may be good for you to attend so that you can have more support that you may be lacking in your recovery process. NAMI offers a lot of classes that allow self growth and they are free. You will have to go to NAMI and see what is available in your state. The classes are Family to Family and can help you with some of the issues you may be having at this time. BRIDGES is also a Free class that has made differences in peoples lives as well.I hope things get better for you soon. (((SUMMERFLOWER))). PM anytime. Soidhonia
