Another One For The Disorders Department

[Busyman]

My gf is sitting here watching Oprah and I hear this lady saying that she's hideously disfigured.

So I'm asking my gf "What happened to her? Did someone cut her face? Was she born that way?" At this point the lady is hiding her face.

Oprah then says "Come on out". Me and my gf are looking at each other and I said that I bet she's as beautiful as can be.

Turns out, the lady was a knockout.

She said she has BDD

Body Dismorphic Disorder:dry:

My gf, who normally watches Oprah faithfully, turned the channel.

[Mr. Mulder]

Body dysmorphic disorder: A psychiatric disorder characterized by excessive preoccupation with imagined defects in physical appearance. People with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) are obsessed by the idea that some part of their body -- their hair, nose, skin, hips, whatever -- is ugly or deformed, when in truth it looks normal. BDD may focus on moles, freckles, acne, minor scars, facial or body hair, or the size and shape of their breasts or genitalia. People with BDD may spend an excess of time looking in the mirror, be forever fixing their hair, or wear heavy makeup or sunglasses inside as a form of camouflage. They may make multiple medical visits or have surgical procedures to correct the imagined defect. Treatment of BDD may involve cognitive behavioral therapy or medications, usually those used in obsessive-compulsive disorder to which BDD may be related. Also called somatoform disorder, dysmorphophobia.

don't know much about it, and im not a doctor, but from what i've read, people with body dysmorphic disorder need to stfu :dabs:

[Cheese]

Don't all girls suffer from this disorder?

"Does my bum look big in this?"

"Yes. Yes, it does."

[Santa]

Thankyou Cheese

(and it is our fault ofcourse)

Oprah ftb

[Lilmiss]

I don't need Oprah to tell me I have a large rump.
The fact I dont need to invest in a beanbag is proof enough. :happy:

:lol: :lol:

I guess you're right.:ermm:

[Virtualbody1234]

Busyman again posting to try to get controversy going.

Why don't you just STFU when you don't know what you're dealing with?

[SpatulaGeekGirl]

Busyman - Oh no! Your razor like wit has pwnethd me! :ohmy:

[Busyman]

Busyman again posting to try to get controversy going.

Why don't you just STFU when you don't know what you're dealing with?
No.

What I'm dealing with?

I offered no opinion on the matter.:ermm:

You offered no opinion on what you're dealing with? :blink:

[SpatulaGeekGirl]

Then why did you say anything to begin with?

[Busyman]

Then why did you say anything to begin with?
Hmmm I simply posted what I saw on Oprah.:huh:

I offered no opinion on the matter nor a definition of the disorder.

[SpatulaGeekGirl]

If you had no opinion on the matter you wouldn't have posted this thread at all, obviously you think something of it. Knowing you, you think all psychological diseases are a load of shit.

+ you don't have to state an opinion of something to be controversial. Stating the thing itself can promote opinion on it's own.

And? I still didn't state an opinion, janeyus.

Also, I don't think a load of shit.

Tell me more CaptainnessObvious.

[SpatulaGeekGirl]

Okay.
How can you call me CaptainnessObvious if you are disagreeing with me?

[Virtualbody1234]

...Also, I don't think a load of shit...
That pretty much sums you up.

[Busyman]

Okay.

Sry. This part is CaptainnessObvious...

+ you don't have to state an opinion of something to be controversial. Stating the thing itself can promote opinion on it's own.
It is also "so the fuck what".

[Busyman]

...Also, I don't think a load of shit...

You do think a load of shit...I think that sums you up.

Sometimes you should at least wait for an offense before being offended.
Also get off my nuts.

You seem to want to hone in on me when there are other folks saying things that your PC ass might deem offensive.

Either way you are a bore.

[SpatulaGeekGirl]

"So the fuck what."?

I was being light-hearted in my first comment, you're the one that turned it into this controversy debate. A big strong, masculine man with so much woman experience like you shouldn't be arguing with a 15 year old girl. :mellow:

[SpatulaGeekGirl]

Btw, night-night! :happy:

15 yrs old or 40, internet posts have no age on them.

Also I never mentioned "controversy". That was ConformityForEverybody.

I just happened to answer your questions....how ever "light-hearted" they were.

Seems like you brought the controversy. I stated what happened in my household.

Oh yes, I am actually responding to your attempts at derailment.

Do you know someone with this important BDD disorder? Were you offended that my gf didn't want to watch?:blink:

Come on, tell me.

[Busyman]

@VB - every village is made of characters - they are all essential.
He could've at least gave me a chance to get into character though.:unsure:

The point is that they don't have any hideous features to hide. Their problem lies within their minds. Very difficult disorder to deal with. Not a joke.

Actually they are seeking the opposite of attention. They hide their face when in fact, they may look stunning.

It's a very serious disorder that deserves our attention....the disorder I'm talking about...er...not necessarily their face...you know what I mean.

I don't know, medical/mental/ psyc type treatments, the need for having friends and family constantly telling them they look hawt thus creating attention around them? :ermm:

I know nothing about it, it was just a thought based on a programme i saw awhile back which was about sort of modern/trendy/made-upish "disabilities" (not that I'm saying this is such a thing, not knowing anything about it etc).

When it comes down to it, many things are considered disabilities.

I joked when I said in another thread that there is a procrastination disorder but there is :( . I know you've heard of the one where people hoard shit until it fills up there house. That's considered a disorder.

There's a funny program on TLC about this fella that actually goes in and helps people remove their shit. One landlord for an apartment was trying to evict the lady and the fella removing the shit got in a fight with him.

It was hilarious.

I've read up on this stuff for awhile now and some of these "disorders" are culturally based and predominate in a certain demographic. Meaning that, yes the individual may have an underlying problem about something and the culture they are in fosters the manifestation of it. Absent the particular culture, the manifestation of a disorder may not even present itself. The culture itself many times is the culprit.

Some people simply take things too far.

I probably have a disorder about being orderly. I tend to list everything I need to do down to the route I need to take and sometimes alloting the times minutewise for them to get done. It sometimes gets in the way of other people though.

I purposely injected a little anarchy to alleviate this and it worked. Now it's natural.

I hadn't heard of BDD until today and thought "Well there are people that are hideous looking, they know it, but do not go through the lengths to hide themselves constantly."

All it takes for something to be a madeupish disorder (as you say), is for a good number of people to partake in it and/or for esteemed doctors to coin it as a disorder.

[Everose]

Some people just don't really have a clue about disorders like this, Busy, until they experience them firsthand, or have a loved one going through them. Scary how a little chemical imbalance can effect the brain in such varied ways. :(

The difference being I wasn't trying to be a smartass loike SGG and from the description of the disorder I would think the person would try to fix the limb but not get rid of it.

It sounded more like apotemnophilia, thumbass, thumbass.

You see, thumbass, it's not blindingly obvious 'cause my understanding of the disorder (by the definition posted on here) is that people modify the part that they think is ugly.....not cut it off.
Sara said it was whole show of limb cut wannabes so that sounds like apotemnophilia....oh but I said this stuff already.:ermm:

I also said nothing about attention seekers going on Oprah.:huh:

The thread is about BDD. Sara said she watched a BDD program in which people wanted to amputate their limbs.

Apotemnophilia is nothing whatsoever to do with the thread, a BDD program nor Sara's comment.

So ... we either have you being thick or you making a blindingly obvious comment.

I did think it was the latter but I'm open to correction.


Btw, the comment about attention seekers. Work it out yourself - sure, it's a little oblique but concentrate and you'll see what I mean.

Apotemnophilia has to do with people wanting to aputate healthy limbs....so it wasn't blindingly obvious. (how many times is this now.....)

But...:happy:

[SpatulaGeekGirl]

Over here even the police aren't allowed guns unless the criminals are suspected to have them, too. And they get a lot trouble if they use them other than when it's absolutely necessary.

As for your mother, busy. Why not get an appartment on the 3 floor or above in a block of flats? A lock on the door, no access to windows, how's this rapist gonna get in?

Besides, most rapes take place outside a person's home. Does your mother carry her gun around everywhere she goes?

This is another thing; people say they are used for self-defence but most things that call for an act of self-defence take place outside. Unless you carry your gun around with you and that would be scary. The idea that every time you walk out your front door a murderous-raping-paedo-thief might jump out at any given moment, and they have a gun! But oops, you left yours in your house.

In the event that you do have you gun with you, well then, it's just a case of who shoots first - wins! What a wonderful world that would be.

[Yogs]

I have 2 guns!!!

Oh right, I was just going with the current meaning, which seems to have it as a sexual thing.

It used to mean what you think, but the psychiatric community decided to distinguish them, so if there's no sexual element it's called Body Integrity Identity Disorder

If it's recent then they probably would have described it as BIID.

Over here even the police aren't allowed guns unless the criminals are suspected to have them, too. And they get a lot trouble if they use them other than when it's absolutely necessary.

As for your mother, busy. Why not get an appartment on the 3 floor or above in a block of flats? A lock on the door, no access to windows, how's this rapist gonna get in?

Besides, most rapes take place outside a person's home. Does your mother carry her gun around everywhere she goes?

This is another thing; people say they are used for self-defence but most things that call for an act of self-defence take place outside. Unless you carry your gun around with you and that would be scary. The idea that every time you walk out your front door a murderous-raping-paedo-thief might jump out at any given moment, and they have a gun! But oops, you left yours in your house.

In the event that you do have you gun with you, well then, it's just a case of who shoots first - wins! What a wonderful world that would be.
No, I take my gun out much and if I do, it's not loaded. In fact the ammo is in the trunk, gun in the car (in must be separated).

Fact is, I don't fit your cubbyholing of guns bad for everyone...justbad.

I have it for the home...nothing else.

Btw, my mother lives in a house. An apartment is not an option.

[Busyman]

Point being even in a country of crime-orientated youth we don't shoot each other because guns are banned. America would be a great place without guns.

American children are more at risk from firearms than the children of any other industrialized nation. In one year, firearms killed no children in Japan, 19 in Great Britain, 57 in Germany, 109 in France, 153 in Canada, and 5,285 in the United States. (Centers for Disease Control)

We also have more people here. I bet we have more people in prison in general.

I wonder who has the higher crime rate. I bet it's us.

5,285 to 19 = 278 to 1

If we have around 60,000,000 then on a pro-rata basis you would need to have 16,680,000,000, or sixteen and a half billion. Now I'm not up on the exact stats ....but

If a Police Officer points a gun at someone that is considered a firearms incident, which will be investigated. They don't even have to fire them for an investigation of the incident to take place.

It is non-discretionary, take the gun out and aim = investigation, that is all.

Why have a gun if you can't use it in the situations described? Is it a penis-extension?

Ha. You left out the higher crime rate in general.

The fact is that people harp on banning guns instead of better gun control.

[JPaul]

More like 300,000,000 I would have thought.

Basically 50 times our population with 278 times the number of children being killed by guns.

Or on a pro-rata basis five and a half times as many children dead.

How can you compare that to the ability to protect your microwave oven, think it thro' man.

it's cause america's got more rappers:dabs:

I'm not really into the whole crime rate thing, more the people being dead aspect. So feck if someone's car gets nicked, claim the insurance.

I'm really into gun control, don't let people have them just because they want them.

I see there is a nice focus on guns but the UK has a nice rise in knife homicides.

Maybe you should get rid of those.

She owns a house.

Folks around here don't like changing our lives around too much because of criminals. She lives in a nice area, that's enough.

Good idea, let's make it illegal to carry one, then the State is not condoning them and the Police can arrest thugs who have one.

Oh wait ....

In actual fact, you're not allowed to carry an offensive weapon of any description over here. I took a stick into school once...because I thought it was a cool stick...and got sent to the head teacher.

Condescension is the accumulation of water vapor on a cooled surface to produce water droplets and is a vital part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Water droplets have never been shown to explode and are ineffective as bombs.
