Dear Dr. Phil,
I've just finished watching your segment on body dysmorphia. I had to respond to these beauitful women.
I don't know anything about your disorder, but I send the angels to you to give you what you need to see your beauty when you look in the mirror.
I do not have your disease, and I do not pretend that I can understand what you are suffering.
But, I do have my own demons to face when I look in the mirror. Every day I look at a face disfigured by domestic abuse. I've lost a large % of my left inner cheek, as well as about 1/3 of my left lip. My jaws and teeth are affected by the large amount of stretching it took to close the gap created when a compassionate surgeon took over my case. I laid in ICU for3 weeks, an LTAC for 8. I lost everything. I was unable to move or speak for over 6 weeks.
There have been numerous procedures to corrert my disfigurement. And every day when I look in the mirror to groom myself for the day; do you know what I think?
" My God you are beauitful today girl!" Why just look at the way you hopped out of bed on your own 2 legs! What a wonderful day! I can walk! I can talk! I can think! I'm ALIVE!!!!
When you lose your life, and then get it back, it changes you. You suddenly understand just how fleating and totally unimportant appeareance is. But if your soul shines, then your beauty can be seen by all.
Love yourself ladies, God does. And he doesn't make any mistakes.
Sending Light, Love and Bright Blessings,
