Low self esteem from BDD

by S
(Essex, UK)

My Body Dysmorphic Disorder

For me, my low self esteem symptoms look like this (stemming from BDD):

*Negative thoughts turn into negative actions that turn into negative behaviors

* Self hatred, secrecy, and self-shame

* Having unforgiving/unrealistic expectation of perfection in others

* Forgetting to enjoy life - being depressed

* General feeling of guilt

* Feelings of 'not being good enough', that others are better than me

* Worrying about what others think (about me) too much

STEVE COMMENT:
1. BDD is explained better here: AnxietyUK.org.uk
2. Self Help Collective has pages on Body image and self image

Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for sharing these symptoms of low self esteem. I'm sure it is 'painful' to even acknowledge these things to yourself let alone others - others who I'm sure you think have no such issues.

I do hope the sharing has helped you in some small way.

Thanks again,
Steve
