Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds -Orison Swett Marden
RIP MICHAEL
Hey!! I'm Clayton from Manchester. I had reallly bad SAD for about five years. I was diagnosed with BDD and depression and other disorders too. At my lowest I couldn't leave the house and I'd sit in my room all day sometimes isolating for weeks at a time, talking to myself, loosing my mind. I tried suicide multiple times, twice ending up in hospital. I've been locked up at a mental institute, slept on the streets, i even went to thailand for a considerable amount of plastic surgery which ended in a disaster, i suffered major complications and the results were horrendous, i had everything reversed and all implants removed, i've suffered some semi permanent damage and wasted 10 000 dollers, Things have been really bad! Now Im doing a lot better thanks to a blend of CBT, NLP, my psychologist and my friends I met on socialanxietyfriends.com. Im starting to accept myself for the way i am and hope i can get past all this.
I've got a job and my own place now. I still have mild SAD and BDD, I do need to go out more and meet people and socialise that's what I'm working on right now. I think the right drug combo will help. My proudest accomplishment would be getting a place at the London school of Economics. I'd like to do an MA after this and maybe a Ph.D
Keep the faith x
