The Story
I have something called Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). I've had this since I have been 14. Only a few months ago did I find out that my feelings are a real disorder and I'm not alone. It all started whenever I first came into high school. I've always been a little girl and I saw bigger varieties of females. It didn't really bother me until I discovered everything a guy looked for in a girl. One girl really stood out to me. Her name is Trish Stratus and she is a professional wrestler. The guys were crazy over her and she obviously had it all. She had every quality that was perfect. At first whenever I saw her it was just jealousy and it made me dislike her very much. But it didn't take long until she became an obsession to me. I found myself staring at her picture everyday, at first just filled with anger whenever I looked at her, but eventually I started to feel sadness whenever I looked at her. It's terrible. I could get so sad just by looking at a picture. I got sad because she was perfect and I wasn't. Everything about her is perfect. Everything about her was different than me. Everynight all I could do was obsess about how different we looked. As a result, I developed major self-hatred. Everynight I would cry to her picture. It's not fair she was made that way and I wasn't. Why was she chosen to be the perfect one and not me? For hours all I could do was stare at her and think about how disgusting I was. I could hardly look in mirrors unless it was absolutely needed. Everytime I saw myself, I would get so sad. I didn't want to feel this way about myself! It couldn't be controlled. I had to get rid of anything that looked like myself. I had to look like Trish. So I did everything I could do. I dyed my hair blonde. I wore padded bras. I copied her make up exactly, especially her lips. I laid in the tanning bed everyday. Everything I did still wasn't enough. I still wasn't Trish, I could never be her. I still hated myself. I changed EVERYTHING that made me ME and it still didn't fix me! Later I discovered all girls had something that I didn't have. That drives me insane. Everytime I see a girl, I check her out. Not because I am attracted to her, but because I am comparing myself to her. Everytime I see a girl I compare myself to her and this feeling comes over me. I can't really explain the feeling. It's self-hatred and sadness and anger all at once. It makes me want to die. It's not fair that I hate myself because I don't look a certain way. I can't control it. I have to live with this everyday. Everytime I look in the mirror I worry because I am so scared I'm going to see one of my features in a different way and obsess about how it looks. You have NO IDEA how it feels to truly hate yourself. You have no idea what it feels like to not be able to be comfortable in your own skin. In the right moment, if my hand touches one of my body parts, it hurts. In my mind, it is SO HARD for me to put on clothes, because I don't want to touch myself. Whenever my hands touch some of my body, I feel so much pain. I punish myself whenever I take a bath. I make myself look at what I have and compare it to others. It hurts...so bad.
Here is a picture of me whenenever my BDD first began and was at it's worst. The second picture is Trish Stratus. Refer to the italicized part. Look at what she has done to a 14 year old freshman in high school.

Here is a picture of me now. I guess you could say I have become more self-accepting throughout the years.

I just wanted to say I UNDERSTAND. I understand SO well. I have had an eating disorder for over half my life, and I feel the same way about my body and when I look in the mirror. I completely, absolutely hate myself and my body and no matter how thin I've ever gotten, I just KNOW i am hideous and fat and disgusting. I often feel like I'm going to crawl right out of my skin. I cant stand being in this body. When my husband tells me I'm beautiful, or people tell me I'm thin, or whatever sort of compliment, I can't imagine what they are talking about because of my total hatred. I just want to let you know you're not alone at all. Thanks for starting your diary.Pilgrim

Thanks for sharing sweetie.I'm afraid that your obsession is all too common in young women in this day and age of marketing, marketing, marketing. Everywhere you look there are emaciated but beautiful looking airbrushed pics of gorgeous gals.I think you looked lovely as a blonde, the pic of you is pretty. And, I think the pic of you now is DAZZLING!!! Absolutely, Dazzling!! And there's nothing more beautiful than a young woman finding her best qualities, and her desires and dreams and going for it. So you aren't special just because you're dazzling now, you are special because there's only one you in the universe and you are incredible and special.Hugs, Big ones, & Blessings Judy

Well Danielle, I seriously feel for you, being one of millions with skewed self image! Anyways I hope you can get closer to reconciliation with your own true beauty of which you definitely have my dear. I'm sorry that comparisons have led you to miss what everyone else sees. Take care and start a love affair with your self, it's good advice even for me, just hard to follow.

To Danielle - As I read your story, I could feel your pain, yet as I looked at your photos, an unescapable fact glared out at me: you are a beautiful woman! The photo on the right showed a woman who looked "fakey" and artificial. Your beauty displays an inner glow of naturalness and softness. No matter that you were blonde or brunette; you look soft, feminine, and very sexy either way. May you learn to see both your positive and negative sides as both contributing to who you are. Neither the good nor the bad is better or worse than the other. You are a total, complete human so long as you don't obsess over the differences between you and others. We all - every human being - was created by God as an individual; different and complete "as is." Look at those who have been very different yet successful: Christopher "Superman" Reeve, confined to a wheelchair after a riding accident; President Franklin D. Roosevelt, also wheelchair bound from Polio (now a conquered disease); Joni Eareckson Tada, a Christian painter, singer, evangelist, wheelchair bound after a swimming accident; Sammy Davis, Jr, Jackie Robinson, and Marian Anderson - three black performers who made it to the top of their professions at a time when "persons of color" were not noted for their achievements (and Sammy Davis had only one eye; did you know that?). Be proud of who you are; look to your creator, however you may define that, for strength; and forge ahead on the knowledge that you have a purpose in life to fulfill that no one else on earth can fulfill. God bless you as you seek your destiny!!

Girl, I totally know what you are going through. I was with a guy who was obsessed with pornography, his closets were filled with over 5,000 porn magazines and movies and he told me he wanted me to look and act more like a pornstar. I became enraged and started eating out of depression ( I am opposite, I eat instead of starve). I gained like 80 pounds because of this depression and tried to kill him a few times. The police came, I called them because I was scared that I was going to kill him or myself. I dumped him and felt SOOO good. I was overweight and started dating a guy who told me I was "funny".. but never told me I was beautiful. Finally, he told me he was unattracted to me, yet he loved my personality. I started taking diet pills and lost all of my 80 pounds that I gained. He told me he thought I was still fat, I fell into an eating disorder, I basically stopped eating except for SlimFast shakes which were my only meal sometimes. People thought I was sick or dying and were worried about me. I hated myself so bad because he thought I was fat and I KNEW that I was really skinny. He dumped me and I went into another depression and started eating a lot again. Gained the 80 pounds back again. Back and forth I go, slim and fat over and over. You know, I am dating a 30 year old man, I am 28, and he claims to love my body, but sometimes I have the feeling that he would prefer for me to be a little thinner. Men look at women because they are men.. it's when they stop looking at women that you have to worry. It's natural and it's what ALL men do, whether you catch them or not. Sure, he's looking online at girls, that's what guys do, doesn't mean he's gonna date them or wants them for a wife, it's just eye candy, and as you get older, you start to understand it more, it's hard to understand when you are young. You will get through all of this, when you are 28, like me, you will totally know what I'm talking about.

Grow up you silly bitch. You can't blame the perfect Trish because you're an ugly whore.

You are prettier than trish, much prettier!!
Posted by: Liz at February 19, 2005 2:32 PM
I feel for your pain, really I do. But your quote above the pictures really irks me. You say : "Look at what she [Trish Stratus] has done to a 14 year old freshman in high school."
Trish Stratus did nothing to you. She probably, until now, knew nothing of you and, if anything, finds your whole story to be both sad and very very creepy. As do I.
Trish Stratus is a beautiful woman who is also talented in her chosen field. To be envious is one thing, but to be hateful and jealous is just wrong. Trying to be someone you are not is not the solution to life's problems.
The blame you throw at her should rest squarely on your shoulders, along w. those of your parents. You need help. Good luck in getting over your "disease".

I am sorry, but binnal and azz can go to hell. I have my full real name up there. And if you want to find my home town. Look at my yahoo profile. Bring it on if you are such huge people in your field. Trish is an ugly fake bitch. She has had so much plastic surgery. I am sorry. I like molly holly, victoria, and more. If any of you want to know victoria's story, email me. I will give you her official site. Not the wwe one. She has a great story of how she has really brought herself up in the world. Yet this blonde slut has no skills and is taking it away from real wrestlers. She is also about to finally be off tv. She has problems with her spine. I am glad. It's getting old seeing this eye candy. Piss on her.

You really are a pathetic whore! Trish is the best and most beautiful woman in the world. You really need to see a shrink before you hurt someone you stupid little bitch. Trish is the most beautiful woman in the world and I hope she'll kick your fat and flabby ass one day. You stupid little girl and GROW THE HELL UP!
Posted by: Erin at February 19, 2005 6:54 PM
I just wanna say you are a very beautiful girl Danielle. You don't need to be jealous or obsessed with Trish Stratus or any other woman for that matter. I think your a really pretty girl and in my opinion better looking than Trish. Believe me Trish is not perfect know one is for that matter. Trish Stratus doesn't have anything that you don't have and if your thinking of breast size Trish has implants, so there fake. Thats one thing you don't wanna be is fake in anyway. That's one thing I've never cared about is breast size and I'm a man. You are a beautiful, good looking, and very attractive girl and don't you ever forget that Danielle, ever. If you ever just wanna talk about anything send me a message.

Your Beautiful. why would you ever wanna look like trish or those playboy models?
Posted by: Ken at February 19, 2005 10:51 PM
You truly are a piece of shit. Trish is the most gorgeous and down to earth woman in the world. I think you truly need to seek help if not I believe you will hurt someone for real everytime you don't like someone's face. You are a pathetic little girl who needs to grow up and face the real worls. Big fucking deal. We all have real problems not the problems of my boyfirend doesn't like me kind of problems but real problems like paying to get through school and trying to make it on one's own. So I suggest to you to grow the hell up and face the fact that Trish is gorgeous and she worked extremely hard to get where she is today. So she was blessed with incredible beauty. That's her genes through her parents. If you ought to blame anyone it would be your parents for not giving you good genes and leave Trish Stratus the perfect angel the hell alone. You stupid little cunt.

You are pretty hot. Too bad yo had to go through rough times.
Trish is hot, but she has to much makeup and isn't a very good wrestler.
Stacy Keibler, Torrie Wilson, and Christy Hemme I think are prettiers than Trish.
Victoria, Molly, and Alexis Laree are much better actual wrestlers.
Well good thing you were able to get on with your life. It is a nice story .
Posted by: Resident at February 20, 2005 3:19 PM
Nice story, do you blame the whole thing on Trish Stratus, because she obviously doesn't know about you. Maybe you should contact her on her website about it. She'll visit you someday. Who else are you going to blame on? Torrie Wilson and Christy Hemme? How about Sable?

Thank you for sharing your story. I want you to know that I believe that what really matters is what is on the inside. My favorite WWE personality is Lita, but it's not just because of the way she looks. I admire her athletic ability, her courage, her taste in music, and the charity work she does for orphan puppies. I hope that you realize that not all men think that Trish Stratus is beautiful. I also want you to realize that she has had at least one plastic surgery. She may even have BDD. I don't know her. I think that you are much more beautiful on the outside and on the inside, because instead of getting surgeries you are fighting your disorder and helping other people to do the same. If you have any questions, you may e-mail me at nickjadr@yahoo.com.
Posted by: Nick at February 21, 2005 11:38 AM
well this sounds like a weird scam of some sort, but i have to say for one, trish is utterly fake with one of the worst boob jobs in history, I cant believe she actually takes bumps with it, and for an attractive woman, she really does try hard in the ring. but she cannot be called anything other than 'fake' in the looks department. if this is your idea of 'beautiful', well then you have a strange concept of that. Also, i agree, the girl in the photos is MUCH better looking than trish. Trish is a body builder on steroids and looks manly. the girl in the pictures looks like a very cute young girl. I find it hard to believe this story is true. if it is, I hope she gets better and starts to see herself and women like trish how other people see them. by the way i dont dislike trish or anything, and its not her fault in any way what this girl is going thru. actually, I bet she would be horrified by this and want to help
Posted by: boggled at March 1, 2005 10:43 PM
You know, I'm was moved by your story until I got to the end..."Look at what she has done to a 14 year old freshman in high school." I think a huge step toward your recovery would be taking responsibility for your own mistakes and issues. I'm sorry that you have BDD, but blaming Trish Stratus is rediculous. She didnt DO anything to you, she just is who she is. You cant blame her for your having this disorder. If you werent trying to model yourself after her, it would have been someone else...Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, whatever...All this hatred you have toward Trish Stratus is really unhealthy
Posted by: Leanne at March 4, 2005 2:49 AM
Wow, you are just so very immature little girl. Blaming all of this (dying your hair, wearing makeup, and stuffing your bra... big whoop) on Trish Stratus? Sorry you have this "disease" but that, as many others have said, is absolutely ridiculous. You're pretty and you know it. You know it and you're just trying to get attention. Well, there it is. Yes Trish is extremely beautiful -- inside and out. Way to choose an awful picture of her. Do I prefer her over you? Yes, but people look different... they're supposed to. People have different tastes. Not everyone is going to think you're the hottest thing on this planet and same goes for Trish. But Trish is a great person; friendly, sweet, and caring. She's very talented at what she does and don't even try to blame this 'terrible tragedy' on her. And uh, for all those who said Trish is ugly, here's some links: http://www.owow.com/RingsideWith/Trish/Gallery-14/07.jpg http://www.owow.com/RingsideWith/Trish/Gallery-14/04.jpg

I just wanted to say that you are a beautiful girl, but I know that does not help because like you, I too suffer from BDD... I know exactly how you feel and other people displaying their ignorance on your site is dispicable...Just know you are not alone... Just don't compare yourself to anyone else... Everyone has their faults... No matter who they are they have something you would not want if you were them... Only strive to be you...
Posted by: Jill at April 12, 2005 10:12 AM
I'm ignorant. Right... She did nothing but dye her hair and apply makeup. Big whoop-de-friggin-doo. She just wants attention. Why the hell hasn't she updated? Cause she realized no one cared.
Posted by: Anonymous at April 16, 2005 7:27 PM
You are truly pretty Danielle. People who are blaming you for blaming Trish are just as odd, they do not realize that this is actually a DISORDER! and that people cannot help themselves when it comes to this. Grow the fuck up everybody and let this girl tell her story of her struggle with a disorder that cannot be helped.
Posted by: Anonymous at May 3, 2005 5:35 PM
hey danielle, i feel the same way and also i feel the same way about my boyfriend to i used to think he was so attracted to me but now i just think he isnt attracted to me as he used to be its like he used to think i was the hottest thing and he used to tell me i was so sexy and everything but now he never tells me that anymore its like now i think he finds himself way more attracted to other girls then to me and the strange thing is that i have not changed any since we have been togeather and we have been togeather for a long time its been alomost a year and it really lowers my self esstem and makes me want to change my self just like you did almost everyday i am comparing myself to other girls and thinking of ways i can change my self so i can make my self more attractive. I aslo am glad i read your story because i have never met any other girls that feel the same as me except for you so i really dont have anybody to talk to about it and so your story realy helped me out alot and also i am only 15 years old too. Thank You for putting out your story.
Posted by: krystal at May 11, 2005 6:58 PM
dude ppl this gurl has a disorder and you are telling her to grow up?? Hello it's a DISORDER she can't help it. So show some support and help her get better!By the way danielle i would give any thing to look like you, your so pretty
Posted by: kate at May 18, 2005 7:31 AM
wow i think you are way beautiful, and no offense but the girl on the right looks like she had way too much plastic surgery and now her face is screwed up. im not saying that because i like the natural look or anything, i honestly think she looks bad. or maybe thats just a bad photo of her? idk
I'm hoping to start a BDD diary too. I just submitted my request so we will see how it goes
Posted by: tati at May 22, 2005 12:54 PM

Don't listen to this flux of negativity. In case you're wondering, they've all came from a lame computer game site called www.gamefaqs.com
Some asshole posted this addy in one of the forums and the spotty kids felt the desire to troll en masse.
Feel free to report them to the admin of the site.

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface,
Consuming, confusing,
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending, controlling,
I can’t seem, to find myself again
My walls are closing in
[without a sense of confidence I’m convinced
There’s just too much pressure to take]
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It’s haunting how I can’t seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
[without a sense of confidence I’m convinced
That there’s just too much pressure to take]
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure...
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
(there’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming,) confusing what is real

Blaming this on Trish is the stupidest shit I've ever read, and one of the most pathetic and desperate cries for attention I've ever see.
Grow the fuck up and find something productive to do with your life. You're not ugly, you're very pretty, but if you can't accept that, it's no one else's fault, and DEFINITELY not Trish's.

I'm From Gamefaqs.com dont listen to these ppl u r very beautiful, But I dont think blaming Trish will help I Seen ppl with ur problem and they usually get a Physciatrist they dont come back normal but they come back getting ready to start their recovery so I apologize for my fellow GF's membersand good luck recovering

Well, I don't agree with all of the flooding from the board. But I almost think that you deserve all of it. Sure, I guess I feel bad for you and your "disorder", with your warped perciption of beauty and everything. But it's just pathetic that you are displaying yourself on the internet, obviously looking for pity and compliments.
Posted by: Anonymous at June 4, 2005 12:45 PM
You know what? This is so stupid. It seems that if anybody ever has a problem, theres a syndrome and medicine for it. What ever happened to dealing with your own life? It makes me sick that women look at Trish Stratus and think that thats the norm. Its not! Yes Trish is hot. But there are hotter. Victoria, Sunny, Stacy (Which, I'm sure some other poor sap on here will complain about her being too skinny). And you say that Trish Stratus douses herself in make up. It looks to me that Danille uses her fair share of make up. Trish doesn't have implants (That anyone knows of, nobody has anyproof that shes ever had implants). She does however wear pushup bras. Back to my point. I don't feel sorry for Danielle or anybody else that crys themselfs to sleep over how another person looks. How Shallow are you people? Trish Stratus, nor any other women of wrestling has done a damn thing to her. Alas, no blame should be placed on them. If people like her want to cry, and cry, and wish they were dead, let them. Let them live a poor live while I (I ain't a pretty guy myself) go out and live life with my friends.
Posted by: Billy Goodman at June 4, 2005 12:48 PM
Hey, your really not that ugly. Dun listen to the posters that are trying to put you down. You are you, you are unique, your not Trish Stratus. You are Danielle. I honestly find you more attractive than her. Email me if you wanna talk more.....Oonterman@aol.com

Sorry for the nasty comments from GameFAQs I come from there too, we're not all like that I swear. (oh and some of the comments may not make sence unless you are from there or watch wrestling)
I did feel sorry for you and its bad that you have a disorder, but when you said "Look at what she has done to a 14 year old freshman in high school" It annoyed me. I know you have a disorder and everything, but it wasn't her fault (no Gene Snitsky comments please lol) I'm glad that you have got over it and its a shame you had to go through it but don't blame other people and like someone said before, think of the people in the 3rd world they have worse problems so count yourself lucky in other aspects.
You are pretty, so is Trish and everyone has something great about them but we are all different.
It's good that you are ok now. It must have been awful to have it, and I have symathy for you for that.
It's a shame people feel this way and have such low esteem, I know how it feels as I have suffered from it before.
Everyone needs to be happy with who they are and I hope you have realised this now.

Don't let these people bring you down. I mean you're actually pretty hot. I'd hit it >_>... Just because Trish might seem hotter doesn't mean you gotta be ashamed. I mean you need to not think of people hotter than you but of the millions out there that are fatter, uglier and worse off than you :P.

You are very beautiful don't listen to those morons
Posted by: The Truth at June 4, 2005 1:13 PM
Look, I come from GameFAQs also. I think you're pretty. But really, blaming Trish Stratus is not going to solve anything. She has done nothing to you personally and, frankly, probably never will. You have a problem, you admit this, but blaming Trish solves *nothing*.
Now, i'm not going to be negative like just about everyone else, that isn't me..i'm just going to suggest getting some help for your disorder or whatever it is. Trust me on this one: You're pretty. Now go out and get help so you can live your life the way you want to live it.

I am a HUGE trish fan. And some people have left some nasty comments about trish and you. But to be honest, you are not ugly at all. Seriously. I bet trish would be flatterd you thought she was beautiful. I dont like that picture of trish though that you chose to compare, actually your picture looks better than that comparison one! and im glad your accepting yourself more, and trying to be yourself, its not wrong to look like trish, but its not right either. you dont have to look like someone to feel good, but if thats the only way it would make you feel better than i have nothing against that! dont forget that you ARE pretty, always think of yourself. dont look at other people and hate yourself for having things that you dont.:)
Posted by: bill at June 4, 2005 2:31 PM
Okay, you're a pretty girl. Even before the whole wanting to look like Trish Stratus thing. I agree wtih you, Trish is an absolute goddes, she's my idol. Honestly I might sound like a little child, but I want to be just like her. Not so much that I'd change who I am inside. If everyone looked and acted like Trish it'd be boring.. Alot more peaceful, but boring. You don't want that. You're a pretty girl, so taking out your anger on her is a little sad I admit. Feel better and I hope you get over yourself. Yes I may seem like a Trish mark, but I'm a fan. she most likely has no clue about this (Trish I mean). She's a great wrestler and doesn't deserve shit like this.

Hi. I can totally relate to what you're saying. I feel like the ugliest being on the planet. I have no self-esteem and constantly wonder why my boyfriend is with me and not with someone that i feel he would truly be happy with. You see, my boyfriend stares, GAWKS, at blonde girls. I am a brunette and obviously feel horrible when he does this as he already knows i have low self-esteem and he stares in front of me. I constantly agree with him when he tells me a girl is pretty but i don't think it's right that he stare and DROOL over blondes when we're on the street. I honestly feel like he's just with me because he's waiting for the blonde of his dreams to come along... He doesn't complement me when i attempt to make myself feel normal for him by dressing up; He never notices any changes in me. I could dye my hair red and he wouldn't notice but i know that he would notice and do a double-take if a blonde, pretty or ugly, walked by in front of him. He asked me to marry him but i feel somewhat unsure about what i'll do... I just feel like he's waiting for someone better and more fitting to cross his path...

Posted by: yeah at September 13, 2005 5:09 PM
Hi there, I'm sure that you've heard this before, but your story really touched me. I developed an eating disorder a year ago and it's only gotten worse, which makes me feel worse about myself--I know what you mean about checking other girls out and thinking EVERYBODY is better off than you.
My 'obsession' with this has lead me to write a paper for school (I'm a college student) on the story behind the mirror. I would really love to talk with you online for 1-personal insight, and 2-for this research paper. (Or if anybody else is going through similar things and would like to talk to me, even if you don't want to be "quoted" in the paper, I'd still love to talk to anyone who relates to me) My e-mail is tiffany862@hotmail.com. Thanks so much, and take care.

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has positive side. It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.
Posted by: average penis size at October 25, 2005 4:48 PM
How can you be obesessed with someone whos beauty is completely fabricated? Trish has FAKE blonde hair FAKE tan FAKE boobs FAKE nails enhanced lips & lots of make up!!! Your natural beauty far surpasses that of the FAKE Trish! Not to mention that beauty really comes from within. i bet if you met trish her personality would be so ugly because she is famous and 'beautiful' so i bet she is full of her self. i wouldnt worry yourself over it. your BDD is an actual self hate illness. even if there was no one else on earth to compare yourself to you still wouldnt like yourself. i actually think you are far more sexy than that fake trish woman you go on about
Posted by: Renee at November 22, 2005 10:13 PM
Hey!
Im writing an essay about BDD for school and i found this page.
I read ur story and i have to say that every girl would feel the same as u did if their boyfriends behaved the same as yours. Sounds very childish, and maybe he wanted to hurt u on purpose caus he had a hard time really beliving that u had BDD.
I do belive every word you say, even though it can seem strange beeing so beautiful that u are. But i guess it doesint even matter what people tell you caus u see something else.
And this Trish person looks very fake and boring to me, there is nothing special and unique about her. Im not saying it to make you feel good, its just how it is. She's just another blond silicone chick blending in with the rest!
Anyways, I hope you will feel better about ur self and someday even see what the rest of us does, that ur a beautiful girl!
Take care!

Wow, i can really relate. I never heard of BDD until watching an Oprah show the other day and realizing that i have the symptoms of BDD. I never thought anyone else would fell the same way as i do and reading what you wrote makes me hopeful that i can get better.
I think it is awesome that you posted this for everyone to read. Not a lot of people can do that, and share a very painful time in their life with the world. Regardless of all of the nasty comments people have posted on here i think that its great you wrote this because it can help a lot of people who are going through the same thing and know that they arent alone in the way there feeling.

I just wanted to say that you are so pretty. Miranda agrees. :) (she sits beside me in computers) I am doing a speech on BDD and have read your story. I don't think you need to be like trish because you are beaautiful on the inside. "Beauty is more than skin deep". I know the amount of therepy that is takes to resolve these problems but i do hope that you can fight it. :)

You need to grow up and get a life. Stop blaming other people for your problems. Do you even know Trish? How dare you speak ill of her. I think the problem with you is that you are extremly jealous little girl and you have some severe mental problems. To those bashing Trish here, you know absoultely nothing about her so you should all shut your pie holes. You all can kiss Trish's ass.
Posted by: EE at August 28, 2006 3:25 PM
Ok, first up I feel for your problems, self loathing isnt good.As the original post's were a long time ago hopefully you have sorted your self out now.
Its massively obvious from your pictures that you are a very attractive young woman and really dont have anything to worry about.I know you dont feel that, but trust me its true.The point I feel I should make is this.Think about the other girls in your school.You know the ones I'm talking about, that fat one who has a bad hair cut.The one with the rubbish shoes and naff glass's, the outcast's,the no ones.They look at you and feel the same way you do about this Trish woman (never heard of her personally). However, they have to see you every day and sit behind you in english or whatever, which lets face it must be far worse than looking at a picture of a plastic woman on a poster, who none of your peers are ever gonna meet.
I do feel for you and do hope you have made progress with your condition, but next time you feel bad about yourself think about those other girls who are feeling 2nd and 3rd rate to you, because belive me they do! Remember that somone else has ALLWAYS got it worse than you (or me). Good luck

Posted by: lets see the monkies at August 30, 2006 8:57 AM
i just wanna say that yes, trish is beautiful and an amazing wrestler but she's not perfect.she's even said she's had problems with the way she looks before so she decided to do something about it and started working out after being inspired by pictures of a fitness model in a magazine she saw before she got into wrestling. i know this cause i did a speech about her wrestling career in debate class once but nobody is perfect and everyone thinks there is something wrong with the way they look which is normal to think that something's wrong with your looks. everyone thinks something is wrong with them looks-wise unless they are very self centered and have a major huge ego but i just wanted to let you know you are beautiful. everyone is beautiful in their own way and you are a lovely girl, danielle. you don't have to try and copy off of someone else to think you look pretty cause you already are gorgeous. I personally think you are a true role model because you have grown comfortable with the way you look and your illness and if your boyfriend can't see your true beauty, then he's not worth it. just be yourself and keep smiling, sweetie.

i'm glad you have found an inner peace, you've wrote this article 2 years ago so i truly hope in that time, you have found the time to love yourself (for you), or even better fully recovered from BDD.
its a shame BDD ruined your childhood/teen life..so i wish you all the very best in adult life.
take care.
Posted by: steve_o at September 2, 2006 7:27 PM
Much that I understand your issues (I just wathched a program on tv about BDT) you need to know you are truly beautiful! c'mon, get over it babe! You are a stunner, Trish is nasty plastic fake - you are a proper beauty!
Posted by: G at September 3, 2006 4:35 PM
Danielle, you're a really pretty girl and I hope you will come to realize that sooner rather than later. While I can't say from experience, to battle any disorder is an uphill challenge and I wish you the best of luck in overcoming those forthcoming challenges you'll face. If there's one piece of advice I'd give you, it's that no matter how hard it may be, whatever changes you would to make to yourself (emotionally, mentally, physically), take the extra time to figure out whether you're doing it for you because it will make you happy, or if you're doing it in the hopes that it will make you happy. And also, please try and let go of the blame you've placed on Trish. The first step is in realizing that it's no one's fault. Trish isn't responsible for the way others perceive her and at the same token, this is a medical condition, one that you cannot help yourself and you aren't thinking this way on purpose. If anything, aside from her beauty, Trish has many great inner qualities that, if you would like to model yourself after her, I would recommend you focus on such as her similar dedication (which you can apply to overcoming your issues), confidence (which you will hopefully build through this tough process) and intelligence (to learn from your mistakes and always move forward in life). Best of luck to you!
Now onto the idiots who replied on here. First off, how incredibly rude of you to come on to a blog where a girl is discussing her problems regarding the way she perceives herself to be and call her such derogatory remarks such as fat, ugly and even calling her a bitch. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on what beauty is but there's nothing wrong with showing a bit of class. Or a even better solution, why bother respond if you have nothing constructive to say about the subject?
And for the other bunch of idiots that made this issue all about 'let's trash Trish', grow the fuck up. I've met Trish three times and I happen to find her extremely beautiful and that's my opinion and all of you are entitled to yours but I find it incredibly hypocritical that some of you can call Trish fake in one breath and then go on to say how other girls like Torrie, Lita, Victoria, etc are better than Trish. Last time I checked, ALL of those women have dyed their hair and they all have fake breasts. Trish has nothing else enhanced on her so get your facts straights before you come off looking like idiots who don't know anything.
I'm not a fan of that picture, but if you think Trish's beauty is all hidden behind her make up, then you clearly haven't seen her without make-up.

well before you claim that she is perfect...did you know she has a deformity? She's missing a knuckle in her right hand..and you cant see it on the pic you posted cuz i think it has been photoshopped but if you look at her other picutres you can see her trying to hide the fact that she is missing a knuckle. and you know speaking from experience i have that problem too, its in my left hand and i can never stop thinking about it, and i wanna get it fixed soon, but the paoint was to let you know not everyone is perfect and when someone like Trish has such a huge deformity you gotta belive that perfect girls arent real and those who are dont exist.
Posted by: Ravan at November 22, 2006 3:43 PM
First of all I just wanted to say this to everyone who have negative things to say. The lady who is sharing her story is opening up and sharing her story...BDD is a difficult thing to deal with. It isn't something that we all understand, especially those of us that do not have this condition. No I can not relate to your story Danielle but I understand because I'm currently studying mental behaviour. People that cannot understand should not comment about this...Danielle I hope you are wise enough to ignore all the negative feedback...to those who said the rude comments are jealous of you. You are beautiful, and I'm not just saying that to make you feel good. It's just to make you open up your eyes...I didn't even know who Trish Stratus was until i came across your page. She is pretty as well..but the beauty that you hold is real and natural..as for your boyfriend I hope that you left him because men like that are not men...they are little boys that need to grow up. You deserve the best... When you see yourself I hope you don't relate the image to the "ideal image" displayed by the media...because that image isn't real. There is not such thing as the "ideal look". You're beautiful and be strong. =)

I have BDD too. I'm 14. I feel completley on my own. You know how your obsession's with the Trish woman ? Well mine's with every single woman I walk by. I developed an eating disorder, but recovered and I'm basically just never happy, with anything. Having a hair cut, buying new clothes, NOTHING ever makes me think "Yeah, this actually looks okay." So please everyone, before you consider this to be vanity, or just stupid and attention seeking, remember that people commit suicide over this. We see ourselves completley differently to how you see us. I see myself as that hideous that I don't deserve friends, or to leave the house. Honestly, I would rather be dead than wake up to see my reflection in the mirror every day.
Stay strong, you are beautiful.

hi, im natasha, im 16, i know this thing was posted ages ago, but i feel like its helped me abit cause thats exactly how i feel everyday - like im disgusting. and when i try to explain it to the people i love they just say 'thats what all teenagers go through isnt it?' and when people pay me complimets i feel like there making fun of me because they must be joking. and when people say 'dont be stupid, you are prettey' that makes no difference either. i really wish i could stop it but i cant. what i see of myself isn't beautifull. so i hope you get got through this and that your okay cause i know its a horrible way to feel. xx

seriously.. you douchebags not encouraging this young woman need to sit your asses out. i encourage you to love yourself and accept yourself.. there's no need to imitate someone but to be yourself truly.
much love
