Helpful Podcasts
I listened to a podcast episode tonight that I found really awesome. The podcast is called, “Help Me Be Me”. Episode 57: The Average Case of Body Dysmorphia - Ugliness In the Eyes of the Beholder. Not that it taught me anything new, per se. But the host did an incredible job explaining this horrible disorder & offered super solid advice at the end.
I’ve also listened to every episode of “Beating BDD” created by the UK’s BDD Foundation. Each episode goes through a sufferer’s first hand account of their battle with BDD & ultimate recovery (yes - recovery IS possible, despite it often feeling impossible).
Podcasts like these are good reminders of just how not alone we all are, how absolutely screwy our perceptions of ourselves are, & that there can be a fulfilling & happy life despite a BDD diagnosis.
I urge anyone who is suffering from BDD to listen.
