Quote From: pinkstar3Diana- You are an extremely beautiful woman (inside & out). When I saw you my first thought was WOW, she is absolutely beautiful! Why does she not like her image? This has got to be a joke Then after you started discussing how you feel within and the things that have happened to you and the lack of support you have been given I was able to understand. I wasnt aware that there was a disorder like this out there. You really opened my eyes to that. I hope that you get all the help and support you need to overcome this BDD and live a healthy and happy lifestyle. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless!!!
Cheyenne- Im sorry but I really have a hard time seeing why you were on the show yesterday. A lot of us dont like certain things about ourselves and have depression issues (I am on anti-depressant medicine myself) but for someone that is in beauty pageants all of her life and seems very confident when speaking it doesnt seem like there is a real disorder present with you. Maybe I am being ignorant but that is just my opinion.
You must be able to understand how it feels when people who don't understand depression judge you right? You said you weren't aware of this disorder & thought it "has got to be a joke" until you heard the first young lady speak and then you were able to understand. So if you're unable to understand then that means it isn't so? Because the 2 young women weren't exactly the same you feel the 2nd girl isn't being honest or isn't suffering from a disorder? You know there was a time that people who had been diagnosed with depression would think it had gone away on it's own & they were filled with a LOT of energy & they felt like they were on speed they were so hyper & people "questioned" them too until it was realized they were actually misdiagnosed and they were bipolar!
Just because you don't understand doesn't mean this young lady isn't having a problem with a disorder & to have people telling her she's a coniving liar I can't imagine would help a person who has a self esteem problem of any kind.
