Body Dysmorphic Disorder
I am a product of a repulsive nature’s gift.
I feel and see my appearance defective.
My friends do not concur with my feelings.
I trust the mirror.
It reflects the true picture of me.
It follows my feelings and self perception.
It does not confront my perceived self.
I feel uneasy in the company of friends.
My life is driven by undulating waves of
Emotional upheavals
A feeling of obsessive apprehension dominates my daily life.
I am unable to control the conviction of a facial defect.
The only tunnel out from my suffering is the application of a surgical scalpel.
Will this resolve the way I see self?
