Be careful therapists and doctors can make you worse. I was assaulted by a guy and the operating doctor ruined my face to where it's unrecognizable. I know that your condition is mental and not physical, but they might prescribe you a drug that ruins your body. They won't care either. Just a...

Yeah I know she's good and she knows I'm not mad at her. Too bad about your mom, she might have issues herself that are hard to deal with

She tries, but my anxiety is so crippling, I can't have fun no matter what

Mine doesn't know what to do. The rest of the family ditched me

Yeah but it's not enough support

Yeah I learned that when I tried to go out in society and realized I couldn't have what I wanted anymore and I'd have to settle. I really don't want this life. It's scary and unfair.

Makes sense. I would work in a VA but I'm scared of hospitals. I just feel like injured veterens would have a better idea of what I'm going through

Thank you for your response. Yes, my mind still can't even believe it, like I don't exist anymore The problem is I don't want to be isolated in work. I want to be around people but they won't accept me unless they are elderly

I tried to go to a surgery trauma forum but everyone wanted to end their life, so it wasn't helping me. I came here because I think the feelings of ptsd are at least the same, which is why I'm sure you're here as well. I live with an elderly aunt, so it doesn't help much. I don't have other...

Thanks for the link. I understand childhood trauma, I've been there too and when I got older, I was sexually assaulted by an employer. And I don't mean to minimize anyone's pain, but I'd rather be sexually assaulted than look like this. That's how bad it is. If I were older and married, it might...

Yeah it seems you kinda know what I'm going through. At least in the identity part. I just don't know any way to get through this

Yes but it wasn't just my looks, it was losing my entire identity. Not seeing my face anymore, etc. I read an article about a girl in Vietnam who had an adverse reaction to a drug and her face aged like an old lady. Her husband stayed with her and I think that's what kept her going. But...

Thank you. I've been to every top surgeon and no one can fix it. My entire life is ruined and I'm in constant mourning for my face

Therapy doesn't help. They just throw around cliches, like it's not about looks. Well in real life it is about looks if you don't look normal anymore. One told me to take a supplement and it ruined my face more. So I don't trust them

My mom doesn't know how to help me. The rest of my family doesn't really care much
