SO helped mental/psychological illness/self-esteem?

Li
I have a collection of mental and psychological illnesses and syndromes that I've lost count of. Easily over 10, but the number of medications go over 20. I also had the lowest self-esteem ever; to which I blame not only and me and society's expectations (that I let get to my head) but also some of those illnesses.
One of those problems were the multiple freckles and skin tags that I had. There weren't even that many, but the two on my neck, a beauty mark on my upper lip and one under my right boob particularly bothered me. I would cry and even have panic attacks if I noticed him staring. Over time, though, he started to make me love them by calling them "chocolate chips"! Another thing I despised were my lips, because I thought they were too big. Well, love them too. He went as far as asking for a list with them to research and know how to act in specific scenarios. 
Any of you had something similar happen? Please share :)
