My fifteen nearly sixteen year old daughter has just been diagnosed with body dysmorphia and I am wondering if any parents are in the same boat? We had a long wait to even be seen by CAMHS here (North of England) and although I'm relieved to know the diagnosis, things are still tough. Can anyone advise or anyone had this? DD is in shock and won't admit that it's true. She thinks everyone feels like she does deep down. She is moody, demanding, unbearable sometimes but I love her so much and want her to be happy again. I miss my little girl. I think things have been going badly for her for about two nearly three years now. I hope there's a light at the end of this lonely, dark tunnel.
It is very tough at the moment and I'm just hoping I'm not alone in feeling like this. I just want her to be happy 😔
