Hello, there. this is the first time i have joined a forum of any kind and don't know my way about one. i.e how to find what im looking for, and how to reply to comments etc. so hope i can use this to my benefit and possibly others. For three years now i have been extremely anxious and uncomfortable with this chronic feeling with the skin of my chin. I first was looking at a side profile of myself in the mirror because i have always had a preoccupation with my appearance. I noticed dropping or a slope from my chin to my neck like a chicken. This is a sign of aging i know but it was as if it appeared over night. And i was only 28 at the time and had not gained or lost weight excessively. As soon as i discovered this and pinched it the skin felt very loose. I paniced and was in a great amount of distress. immediately felt the heaviness and discomfort and stayed on the couch with a pillow under my chin for a week. I went to the doctors and they said the skin under my chin was normal and the feelings was because i was paying too much attention to it. However, I have not been able to find any relief over the past three years and the physical feelings have never diminished. I have attempted suicide three times unsuccessfully due to the discomfort and hopelessness. I have been diagnosed with body dismorphic disorder an anxiety disorder and been through a number of resources to find relief such as medication and psychiatry., psychology, hypnothearapists, psychics, accupuncture. etc. with no avail or relief. Although this can be put down to anxiety which i have suffered for years i have been desperate for answers as to why it could have happened so suddenly and drastic. The only answer i could find which is not practical to many or even myself is that a couple of months previous to the incident I was rude to a person who i remembered said they were from traveling people (gypsys) and i came to the conclusion that it was a gypsy curse. Although i am not normally a superstitious and it makes me look crazy its the only thing i can come up with.
