I have this problem. I haven't really had acne for about 10 years (a few minor break outs, but nothing serious), but I got so used to fixating on it I now see my whole body in high definition. So I se...

It does happen, but I'll admit its not a common sight. A colleague I used to work with had quite severe acne and I think he was married. Not sure if he got married before or after the acne, I didn't k...

I'm familiar with her work and I've seen some of her videos (although in fairness I haven't read her book), but it is basically a spin on positive thinking. To be honest, I think what she is talking a...

I've had the usual "why don't you wash your face?" comment, even from adults who should have known better. A girl once told me that I should stay in doors! I once applied for a job at a drive throug...

When I was about 14 I finally admitted to my parents that my acne really bothered me. They told me that there was nothing that could be done about it and i would just have to wait to grow out of it. I...

I must admit it is something that has always confused me about BDD. I had always assumed that it had to be an imagined "flaw" rather then a real one to qualify. I also wonder how they would define "ex...

Yeah this sounds familiar, i still hate my skin even though the acne is long gone. It actually took me a long time to realise that I didn't have acne anymore. I think my acne actually cleared up when ...

Yeah, the main reason I don't want kids is because I don't want to pass on my acne. I don't think I could watch someone go through that. Even worse, I have absolutely no advice I could give them, even...

I'm pretty much in the same situation as you. I'm 30, no close friends, bad job despite an ok degree, living at home with my parents after a few failed attempts on my own. I've never lived with friend...
