She needs meds and counseling.Take it from a fellow sufferer when I tell you that feeling that way is all consuming and it is horrible.It has nothing to do with being an attention whore and everything to do with a major depression/body dysmorphic disorder.

I started meds a couple months ago and though I still have hard days,most of the time I'm feeling pretty decent and can actually enjoy my life without being tormented with thoughts about how fat/ugly I am compared to other people.I wasn't conceited,in truth I felt totally unworthy
and wanted people to just go away.

The meds and the counseling also make it easier for me to know when my thinking is irrational, at those times I can either quitely reality test within myself or let my family know that I'm having a hard day in an appropriate way.My family has been very supportive and things have gotten MUCH better.I enjoy my food now,I exercise as usual and can actually think of a few postive things about my body.


Btw,do know that she feels totally horrible and unworthy inside,she probably also feels anxious and like she's losing her mind due to her unhealthy preoccuptaion with these matters.
