How did you get through treatment for BDD?
I got through it by having positive support and negative support. My mom was so supportive and my sister was so supportive, that lived with my mom. Probably because they didn't live with me, they were kind of my cheerleaders. When I got better they were there to support me. She was picking me up at my house and driving, forcing me to go to treatment. So it was kind of like I had that positive support from someone who had my back and understood what I was going through. I had the, I'd say negative; you know my grandma, my dad and my little sister that lived with me were fed up. They were tired of all the long showers. They were tired of always needing to wash things. They were tired of me taking so long to get ready, that it was almost like they were almost forcing me, like get out of the shower or I'll turn the water off. And you're leaving now even if we have to physically drag you out of this house. Of course looking back now, they refused to enable it. They were doing the right thing. They were refusing to enable it, and because I wasn't getting reassurance and enabling, I had to go inward and do it myself.
