I am new to this site, and am feeling really nervous and scared!! I hate how I look, and rarely ever go out, except for work! I only go out at night, where people can't really see you! I have become increasingly agoraphobic, and I have no friend's, and keep to myself! I wish I could just be normal, because I am always lonely!!! I alway's look in the mirror and find flaws!!

God made us in his image. We are all beautiful in our own ways. I know what your going through but in my case i lose my left leg when my humvee was hit by an I.E.D. For two years i struggled with the acceptance and often considering taking my life. Just when i thought i had nothing to live for i became a father. If this little innocent boy could accept me for who i am, then i can accept too. I guess what im trying to say is, god never gives us more then we can handle. So, god is testing your faith and wants you to love yourself as he loves you.

I have bdd, also, I can look in the mirror over and over throughout the day. I even do it at work! I have started to become agoraphobic and don't go out during the day, only at night! I am so drained emotionally, that I am tired all the time, and stay in bed a lot! I cry all the time, because I just want to feel okay with myself!!!!!
It's going to be okay. I promise it will get better. I, too, avoid going outside during the daytime sometimes. It's mostly due to fear that others will make negative remarks about my appearance. But when I DO go outside during broad daylight, nobody ends up saying a thing. You are absolutely beautiful. I do not know you nor what you look like, but know this to be true regardless. Please stay strong and we can battle this together <3
Thank you for you're comment! I just wish I could feel normal, and not stressed all the time! I am screaming inside my head all the time, and I hate even getting out of bed!!!! I rarely, if ever, feel beautiful! It is very sad that I feel this way, because I know I am worth it! I just wish I could love myself, because I am in so much pain!!
@Mamma don’t worry here is mostly people are helpful supportive here everyone have some problem and issues we try to help someone as we can trying to make a lonely person comfortable and to finish loneliness
I tried to send you a private message @mamma. I was hoping to talk to you about bdd
