Hi I am new to joining the SANE forum
chat and I was trying to connect with individuals or family members who may be suffering from severe body dysmorphia or supporting a friend or family member with this illness.
I am supporting a family member who lives with me who is very vulnerable at this stage and thought it may be of help to us to connect to people who have been exposed to BD.

Hey @Koster, thank you for joining the Forums and sharing your experiences with the community!
It's really heartwarming to hear that you are supporting someone close to you who is vulnerable and experiencing BD. Reaching out for support as a carer is challenging and really brave sharing your story with your peers.
You may find it beneficial to take a look around the Forums and the different threads and spaces and see where you might like to spend your time connecting with the community. If you would like to, please introduce yourself here: https://saneforums.org/t5/Welcome-and-getting-started/Welcome-Introduce-yourself-here/m-p/1149480 and share your story as much as you feel comfortable.
I encourage you to continue to reach out to the community as I believe that your peers will have some insights to share!
Take care
