I'm a female in my 20s. Is there another female here who wants to chat about SP/SA and BDD? Write me if you do :D

Well, I cried like a little baby today in front of my G.P. It was the first time I met him too. He was so nice and talked with me for an entire hour. I've never had a doctor spend that much time with me before! He must have felt really sorry for me. Anyway, he prescribed Paxil-CR for me...

If any of you are looking for a job, let me suggest working as a home health aide for the elderly. First off, they are so concerned with their own ailments to focus on what’s going on with me emotionally. I can just baby them and ask them about themselves and they just go on and on. It’s nice...

My sister is basically all I have. I have many friends from the past that I keep in touch with over the phone but she is the one I can laugh around, fart and wear no make up in front of, walk around naked around. She’s like my best friend. Now she has a boyfriend after knowing this guy for...

When I close my eyes, even when I'm alone, my eyes twitch...for a few seconds before I'm calm. They flutter. I remember a time when someone would ask me to close my eyes in front of them and I had no problem doing it...that was before SA. Who else has this problem? This past year in an...

Does anyone remember having a certain physical characteristic that you were really insecure about that might have contributed to your SA? I think that may be true for me. Maybe not what entirely caused it but a good proportion of it. I may have BDD. Also, since I'm unable to work right...

I met a guy and we hung out 3 times last week. He’s perfect…confident (in a band), intelligent, founder of an organization to help the environment in our community, tall & attractive. The problem is when I drink alcohol, my SA goes away so he doesn’t know the entire me. He thinks I’m this...
