So my bf posted this, what other help would be available to him if anyone knows? From UK.
“Today all I wanted to do was simply shave and quickly go out to run some errands, but to shave I needed to look in the mirror.
Every time I managed to convince myself to look at my face in the mirror, just to do something as simple as applying facial scrub it would look different each time I looked away and looked back.
Too oval, too circular, not long enough, too wide, not symmetrical, hair too short, nose too big, etc.
I don't even really know what I look like to other people, somedays I'll see a version of myself that I like but I don't know if that's what people actually see or if that's just my eyes lying to me again. Maybe I'm just all the flaws I see in myself?
This stupid shit ruins my day or even week(s) when it happens, I no longer want to go out or be seen by anyone - not even myself.
Honestly I have no real idea what to do, it feels like my doctor doesn't give a fuck and just wants to shove pills in my face for every problem I face.
Sometimes I feel like calling and just telling them to shut the fuck and actually help me before I become severely suicidal.”
