If people want to read the full story

It's sad that someone got so close to the edge because of this kind of condition, and its a shame that most people have judged and closed the case on him just like that. BDD is extremely hard to live with, as with other anxiety based conditions and OCD really is a complete arse.

Poor lad, hope he gets the help he needs

What's shocking is he's not been given help for 4 years if he started feeling depressed when he was 15.

Also, was he suicidal? Searching for the words suicide, suicidal etc has pulled up no results. If anything he just suffered from BDD and tells his story on how he tackled it. He was reclusive, but certainly not suicidal going from the quick skim read of the article.

EDIT: Apparently he tried to take his own life at 17. Also, this article is strangely old. Dated Dec 2013.

A few French friends seem to have found the story too. Not sure why it's suddenly popular, there doesn't seem to be any difference in the articles:

He was on Daybreak today speaking about the addiction.

I want to see some of the selfies

Cool tip: stop shaming people who've attempted suicide and the reason for suicide looks completely different so...?

Ok then. Attention-seeker is the first thing that I think of. Either he needs to grow up or get help.
