[Sir Alec]

I have dysmorphia. You have the guts to show yourself on a video. I cannot even look in mirrors.

[lauratwentyeight]

EDDIE 51 there is always ppl out there that want to try and trivialize what your feeling or what your doing makes them feel superior

[lauratwentyeight]

sir alec it took me years to get there and belive it or not i hate getting a picture taken but im in control of the filming and i can hide the physical things i dislike by being in control. its very important to me to stand up for ppl with mental health issues because lets face it not enough ppl do! xx

For some people (me included) the real enemy is the one inside your head.

Living with demons or wonky thought patterns is not easy. Nobody can see your daily fight and just how truly horrendous any sort of mental health problem can be.

I didn't watch your video (I am 'freaked out' enough just now) but I understand how debilitating any mental health illness can be. You understand what is happening - that is usually a good place to start.

Do people actually tell you that you are ugly?
Since junior school, I've been mercilessly bullied for the crime of being ugly, always by males. I wish I'd been born a lesbian as no woman has ever thought me ugly. The bullying still goes on today from adult men, who are just cruel. I rarely leave the house as I know that when I meet someone in the street, they are thinking how ugly I am. Some have said so. They think they are clever, not knowing how crushing their 'clever' remarks are.
If I looked like you, I would be happy.

[Sir Alec]

headwreck, you haven't seen me, and the rightly called barstewards have come from not only Bedford, where I grew up, but Sheffield too. They cant all be wrong!

[Sir Alec]

Lauratwentyeight, you need to contact your GP's office and ask to be put in touch with a skin specialist. You don't have to live with roseacea unnecessarily these days.

Have you got or had boyfriends in your life.

[lauratwentyeight]
