I think our personality's come out in our posts and the more we post on different topics helps us build a profile of that person.

I looked at your pic in meet the members and then you posted something about girls and your self and the two did not match, that lead me to think you had a lack of confidence.

The treatment you're having for it now, will you be kinda cured of it by the end, or will it be something you'll always struggle with?

They still don't know enough about BDD to find a way to 'cure' it. The best way at the moment is CBT and SSRI's to hopefully curb obsessive tendencies and negative self image. For a lot of people it can improve their lives. It will have some effect on me for the rest of my life. How much I don't know yet.

For anyone reading who thinks they have BDD (1-2% of the population according to some estimates) then it's definitely advisable to see your GP and get yourself in treatment cos it can get worse over time and it has one of the highest suicide rates going.

good advice, we all have some ocd traits, for sum they are just a fleeting habit but for some it can take over your life.

I know everyone has hang ups, it just so happens for some it's very extreme though and it's heart breaking to see something like this destroy someone.

And yeah, it is :-)
