Body Dysmorphia - My Experience
So here goes...Just wanted to share something quite personal to me
For most of my life, I have hated my appearance...from a young age, I have hated the way Iook... recently I discovered it was a form of body Dysmorphia.
It is a very debilitating thing to have, especially when you're a performer like I am...It really is very limiting as I never like having photos taken or videos filmed of me. It had got to the stage where everytime I saw a picture of myself,for days and months after, I would reel over it, thinking how ugly and hideous I was and as a result became so depressed!
However there is good news.. a couple of days ago, I posted a video on STEEMIT of me performing one of my favourite songs!!! This is a real breakthrough for me as I've never in recent years let anyone film anything of me let alone post something on a public platform... but I am very proud to say I did it!!! AND although it was hard to watch, I watched it back... Something I would never have done a few years ago!
Just wanted to encourage anyone out there who may suffer with this... please remember you're not alone and there is a always a solution and a way out of feeling this way... I am on the slow road to recovery and I am taking little steps but it can be done, I am proof of that... God bless you all.
Please share your own experiences with me if you would like, would love to hear from you xx
I'm all about being real, authentic in the moment, and sharing our stories. Thanks for being you.
