I was diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) a few years ago and realised there was a lack support or free services out there for people to get help.

The thing about the condition is people can go as far as feeling like an alien. They feel that others are literally going to pass them in the street and scream at them.

You find faults with your appearance even though there may not be an obvious flaw.

When I was 15, I was told by a modelling agency that I was too fat and this caused me to lose confidence and I became unhappy with my appearance.

I was so preoccupied to the point I was spending ten hours a day in front of the mirror and used to think I could never have a girlfriend or any friends. I was exercising and purging to try to change the way I looked.

With Fixers, I made a short film called ‘Perfection is Impossible’ based on my personal experience of BDD to educate young people and their parents about the condition, as well as reach a wider audience of professionals.

Shortly after launching my Fixers film, my campaign went viral worldwide, garnering media attention and interview requests from across the globe. Covered internationally by hundreds of publications and news sites, it was reported in countries as far-flung as Russia, Bolivia, Indonesia, China, Lebanon and Pakistan.

In addition to raising awareness, my Fix has also helped many others to recognise and get help for this little-known and often misunderstood condition.

On a personal level, the campaign was extremely helpful in my recovery. It gave me something to focus on. Knowing that I was helping other people in the process is a brilliant feeling.

Here is a list of Fixers helping me with my Fix:

Alex Crawley

Courtney Atkinson

Laura Tough

Laura Woods

Peter Woods

Olivia Lightfoot-Jaques

Julie Seed, Department of Psychology, Northumbria University

Senior Lecturer Julie Seed supported my Fixers campaign by providing an explanation of BDD in an interview for my ITV News broadcast story.

BDD Foundation

August 2014

I was flown all the way to New York by the American programme ABC News to be interviewed on their flagship show 20/20. You can read the full article by clicking here or click on the image below to watch the full video.

An 18-year-old girl from the Midlands also got in touch to say that seeing my story on ITV's This Morning changed her life. She said that having never heard of BDD before, she has since been diagnosed with the condition and is now on the road to recovery, adding:

'If it wasn't for Danny I think I would still be in the same state I used to be, if not worse. He still inspires me every day and I can't thank him enough.'

June 2014

Fixers CEO Margo Horsley and I were invited to speak on Sky News about the benefits of being a Fixer, and how my campaign has helped me.

I showed my support for Fixers by encouraging others to vote for them as the UK's 'Best Charity' in the National Lottery Awards - and had my story featured in the Hartlepool Mail, Northumberland Gazette and the Evening Chronicle.

Also during this month, I wrote a blog entry for the Huffington Post about government support for mental health services.
