Thank you so much for sharing this. Body dysmorphia is something I also suffer with, have done since my childhood. It started when I became very aware of my appearance, and not feeling I fitted into the expectations of this world. I also have ocd (perfectionism) which I know now is linked to this illness. With a lot of therapy, and meditations I now manage this disorder a lot better, but there are still days it can consume every aspect of my life. I have never heard anyone explain it so candidly, and in such an honest genuine way….thank you so much for this! And you look amazing….We are all beautiful in our own unique ways. I constantly tell my daughter beauty is not how some one appears to look, but it is in how a person behaves. I have known many a beautiful person based on their appearance but with such ugly personalities and behaviours, which alters a persons appearance dramatically. Looks are very subjective, beauty/ugliness is a persons behaviour not their physical looks. Looks eventually fade for everyone but a personality stays. Thanks again for sharing xx
