Anxiety and BDD

[Guest_9365]

Hi,

I was diagnosed many years ago with Depression, Anxiety, OCD and BDD. Have been on and off medication and in and out of therapy since 2010. Last year the Anxiety got so bad my GP medicated me again and has suggested I stay on it for life. I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder. The last two weeks have been hard, I think I need to up my meds but don't know if I want to. Funny thing is out of all my disorders the one that annoys me the most is the BDD. I am sick and tired of waking up everyday hating myself. Looking in the mirror and seeing an ugly, fat person. Worrying about what other people are thinking about Me. Worrying about what the scale tells me. I just want to spend one day not hating what I see in the mirror. How can I fix this. As silly as it is, I can live with the Anxiety and OCD (even though I drive everyone around me crazy) but I am sick and tired of worrying about the way I look.

Hello,

Although I believe I do not have any disorder, and never approached any GP for it. I will try to answer it for you. I hope it helps.

I am assuming you are working out. Do Yoga, sports or gymming, without any hesitation, whatever fits for you. I am sure you will get into a get shape later on. But keep in mind that Good things take time. You need to wait, and give yourself a time. Other than that, I believe you need not be worried or anxious. I am sure you will recover. Just keep working hard.

Do meditate and do some fun activities/hobbies.
