My Story with BDD (Part 1)

For the past week, I've cried. I've cried hard. I've cried in private. My homegirls may think I am getting ready for a girls' day out but I'm crying in my closet. I've cried myself to sleep. I've thought of ways the world would be better without me so people wouldn't look at it. I suffer from body dysmorphia disorder and it's crippling my life. Crushing me to a point where I can't breathe. Suffering my spirit as I look in the mirror and my mind tells me "You're ugly", "You're fat", "You're not cute", "You really thought you were a pretty girl?". I'd like to tell my story on how I'm 23 suffering from severe BDD.

I was 7. At such a tender age, I cared about my Polly Pocket, Bratz dolls, Barbie, and shopping at Justice. I was a girl that loved things girls my age did. Sadly at 7, I started to become aware of my body so young and what it meant to be "fat". My mom would always call me fat. I remember in my childhood home, my parents' room was next to the bathroom shared by my grandma, my siblings, and myself. It all started when one day my mom passed by the bathroom as my grandma lotioned me from my bedtime shower and she made comments in our native language of Igbo about how pregnant I looked. That was the first time I associated big tummy = bad. Realistically, I could've eaten dinner and I was probably bloated. But being so young as a child, I internalized my mom's comments. See, my mom was never nice to me growing up. I was always useless, never good enough, never pretty enough. Didn't help I am tall too -- My mom made it a thing to point out how much of a freak of nature I was. I remember years of us shopping for clothes and shoes and I hated it. I don't think my mom has ever said anything nice about my appearance like calling me beautiful. My mom would blurt out for the whole fitting room to hear about how I needed to lose weight. When it came to shoes, being tall, my feet grew faster than my body. My mom would always say things about how ugly my feet were; comments that led me to go years without wearing sandals. At 7, I didn't know that the disgust I now felt about my body would lead me down a painful road that I still suffer 16 years later. I picked my body and face apart. It also hurt that I was a weird kid growing up too. Nothing wrong with that but you know, as a child, you want to be accepted so bad. You want friends. You want people to like you. You want love. Kids at my school were so cruel to me. I was only their friend when it was time for the answers to an assignment but they never really wanted to be my friend. I was called all sorts of names and made fun of for how I looked. I was dealing with two bullies: My mom and the kids at school. Who do I turn to? Who was I supposed to cry to? No one was at my defense. This also led me down a long path of not caring about my own feelings; I grew up not having a listening ear and a heart that cared. My BDD got worse in middle school. Such an awkward time of life, right? Your body is changing. You start to learn of social hierarchies: The cool kids, the pretty kids, the jocks, the class clowns, etc. Except I didn't fit anywhere really. I was just the girl that was freaking smart. And I'm proud of that! I love how intelligent I am. But no one knew I was comparing my face to everyone else. From how I dressed to how I looked facially. Prior to middle school, I'd like to say starting in the fifth grade, I was obsessed with Victoria's Secret models. I wanted to be like them. I wanted to look like them. I wanted to be a model. I remember how I'd put on my church heels and I'd even change my dresses in between commercial breaks of the VS Fashion Show to catwalk in my living room, following the model's every step. But I didn't know that my obsession with models mixed with my pain from hearing negative comments on my body would lead to a dark path of an eating disorder in middle school. Fed up by my mom's comments on my body, on this very site of Tumblr, I found the pro-Ana community. It consumed me. A mantra I lived by was "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips". I wanted so badly to be size 0. I followed the ABC and 2468 diets. I kept a journal to track my calories and became so proud of myself if I ate 400/600 calories for the day. I called it self-discipline. I loved seeing myself get skinny but I wasn't skinny enough. I was hurting. I wanted so badly for my mom to notice me. I wanted her to notice I was getting skinny so quickly but I dearly wanted her to accept me. To love. To call her first child and first daughter pretty for once. I worked out from sun up to sundown. My grandma (I love her so so much) was the only person that would beg me to rest and to stop. I stopped

eating my favorite foods. I stopped eating at all. But one day, my mom did notice me. As I worked out while she ate dinner, she yelled from the dining table that whatever I was doing, I need to stop because my collarbones are popping out and she didn't want Nigerians in our community to talk. I went upstairs and cried. She didn't even care nor concerned that I was not eating yet vigorously exercising, she only cared about what other people would say about her. The woman I did this all for did not care nor did she notice I put my body through anorexia to make her happy. And I still wasn't good enough. From sixth grade to my sophomore year of high school, I was a functioning anorexic. I was okay with not eating and no one knew. I played sports and duped everyone I was okay but really, I had gone two days only eating one meal. I only stopped because I became extremely fatigued at volleyball practice and was scolded by my coach about me not eating. I wish she knew I wish I wanted to eat more but I vowed to myself to never be called "fat" again. Those words hurt. I also became so scared of eating in front of people. My mom made me feel so much shame about eating. It could've been my first meal of the day and my mom would claim I have been eating all day. It wasn't until university, as friends would invite me to join them for dinner, I slowly grew out of the shame of eating in front of people. I knew I was hungry but I'd purposely eat small portions to avoid hearing anyone say "Damn, you must be hungry!". I'm happy though I never returned to be full-blown anorexic. I'm science-savvy so I figured this wasn't healthy for my body to be so tall but consume calories that still wouldn't be enough for someone smaller and shorter than me. However, my shame and relationship with food still remained toxic. Sure, I was eating more but my brain would whisper reminders of "Don't get fat" as a brought food up to my mouth to eat. I will take this moment to say I am proud of myself for not slipping into anorexia again my junior fall semester. I suffered a bad depression, one caused by my family and so-called friends. I would have dinner downstairs and no one would ask me to eat. No one calls me to join them to eat as a family. Everyone was so mean to me. All alone at night, I'd binge at 2 in the morning in shame. Finally eating for the first time that day since I never came out of my room to avoid being seen and interacting with my family. It was also the first time I started to seriously contemplate suicide. If my family and friends don't like me, why does it matter if I am here? I'm happy I'm here though but it hurts that no one knew the pain the caused me. When I came home for winter break, all these Nigerian aunties at church and even the day before were calling me fat. My mom called me fat. My dad dropped me off at school and when he called me later that evening, I assumed he was wishing me a great spring semester but rather he called to caution me to be more careful of what I ate at school. My vow was broken: People were calling me fat again. I want to take this moment to tell myself I am proud that although my brain tore me apart, I chose to go through a healthier route of exercise and eating healthier than restricting calories. However, I didn't feel any self-love. My exercise and diet changes came from not wanting anyone to call me names, not because I was doing it for me. I still made mean and nasty comments about myself. That following summer, I had a boost of confidence and I enjoyed it. I was away from the pain of home and I actually felt pretty for once. I wish the feeling would've lasted.

Hyperbole in a Sentence

Hyperbole is funny: just think of all those “yo mama” jokes (so ancient and universal that you can find some even in the Bible and in Shakespeare) or Monty Python’s “Four Yorkshiremen” sketch (Reference). Hyperbole is also passionate: it is, quite possibly, the literary device angry young men and new lovers tend to use most frequently. Finally, hyperbole is often the only way one can express the extent of his admiration for one person or the degree of his disapproval for another. Witness all of these functions��and then some—in the 10 sentences we’ve selected and analyzed for you below.

10 Examples of Hyperbole in a Sentence

#1: Cicero, Against Verres V.56.145 (70 BC)

After long lapse of years, the Sicilians saw dwelling in their midst, not a second Dionysius or Phalaris (for that island has produced many a cruel tyrant in years gone by), but a new monster with all the old ferocity once familiar to those regions. For, to my thinking, neither Scylla nor Charybdis were ever such foes as he to the ships that sailed those same narrow seas.

This is one of the examples Quintilian uses in his Institutes of Oratory to illustrate the power of hyperbole (Reference). It is taken from one of Cicero’s speeches against Gaius Verres, a former governor of Sicily with a notoriously bad reputation, during his trial for corruption and extortion. Cicero hyperbolically describes Verres as not merely a “second Dionysius or Phalaris” (both Sicilian tyrants themselves) but as a “monster” even more ferocious than Scylla and Charybdis, two mythical creatures that posed an unavoidable trait to sailors. Needless to add, even Verres’ defense advocate didn’t bother to stand up for his client after this kind of an accusation; really, he didn’t.

#2: John Keats, “A Letter to Fanny Brawne” (July 3, 1819)

I know not how to express my devotion to so fair a form: I want a brighter word than bright, a fairer word than fair. I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days—three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.

When you are passionately in love with someone, there’s no other way to express your emotions but in an abundance of hyperboles. John Keats uses them so often in his letters to his betrothed Fanny Brawne that scholars haven’t stopped at merely identifying them, but they have also tried categorizing them (reference). For our example, we’ve decided to go with one of his positive hyperbolic intensifications and, arguably, the most beautiful of them all. As you can see, Keats himself comments in the first sentence above that ordinary language is not enough for him to articulate how deeply he is devoted to Fanny. And that’s always a cue for a hyperbole; in this case, one as romantic as any formulated before or since.

#3: Captain William Mattingly, “A Reply to a Truce Offer” (October 13, 1863)

I will fight until Hell freezes over and then fight on the ice.

At about 4:30 AM, on October 13, 1863, a Confederate army of 800 people led by William Lowther Jackson secretly attacked the strategic fort at Bulltown, West Virginia, guarded by Captain William Mattingly and his 400 Union soldiers. After successfully advancing against the fort, and entirely convinced in his own superiority, Jackson sent a flag of truce with a demand to surrender or face annihilation to Mattingly. Mattingly declined; a few hours later, Jackson repeated his offer. This time, even though already wounded in the thigh, Mattingly replied with the words quoted above. “I will fight until Hell freezes over” is hyperbole in itself, awash with dogged willpower; however, the addition “and then fight on the ice” brings both the hyperbole and Mattingly’s determination to a whole other level. Unsurprisingly, after 12 hours of fighting, it was Jackson who had to step back.

#4: Eugene Field, “A Society Note” (1882)

Colonel G.K. Cooper went swimming in the hot water pool at Manitou last Sunday afternoon, and the place was used for a skating rink in the evening.

Eugene Field is now best remembered as the “Children’s Poet,” the author of such tender and beautiful poems as “Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,” “The Duel,” and “The Little Boy Blue.” However, in his time, he was also a feared journalist, famed for his sarcasm and wit. This is how he described the aloofness of a certain Colonel G.K. Cooper, a local dignitary, on the pages of The Denver Tribune. You have to agree that the sentence depicts Cooper’s coldness in such a hyperbolic manner that it sounds as if taken out of a modern stand-up comedy show or even a roast.

#5: Fred Allen, “A Letter to Kenny Delmar” (1950s)

All the sincerity in Hollywood you could stuff in a flea’s navel and still have room left to conceal eight caraway seeds and an agent’s heart.

Fred Allen was one of the most popular American comedians during the Golden Age of the Radio. The sentence above—taken from a now-lost letter—is an excellent example of how skillfully he could build a hyperbole upon hyperbole to make absurdist claims which, nevertheless, reveal something essentially true. There is also a slight allusion here to Matthew 13:32 where Jesus says that the mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds; apparently, you can put eight of them in the navel of a flea—in addition to “all the sincerity in Hollywood” and “an agent’s heart.”

#6: John Kennedy, “Remarks at a Dinner Honoring Nobel Prize of the Western Hemisphere” (April 29, 1962)

I think this is the most extraordinary collection of human talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.

“There is in all men a natural propensity to magnify,” claims Quintilian, and it seems that this is especially true in cases when one wants to say how exceptional or admirable another human being is. At an April 29, 1962 dinner honoring 49 Nobel Prize winners of the Western hemisphere, then-US President John F. Kennedy greeted his distinguished guests with the remark above. There is already an exaggeration in the first part of Kennedy’s statement (made subtler by the use of “I think”), but it is the ironical twist in the second sentence which makes this such a quotable and unforgettable hyperbole.

#7: Mary McCarthy, “An Interview on the Dick Cavett Show” (October 18, 1979)

Every word she writes is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the.’

Mary McCarthy was a popular American female author of the war- and post-war period; and so was Lillian Hellman. However, the former couldn’t stand the latter, thinking that Hellman was not only “tremendously overrated” writer, but also—and this part bothered her the most—“a dishonest writer.” How dishonest? Well, apparently so much that she had to further inflate the numbed-down conventional exaggeration (“every word she writes is a lie”) with the caustically funny: “including ‘and’ and ‘the.’” Mary McCarthy’s memorable one-liner shows, yet again, how hyperbole is oftentimes a companion of wit.

#8: William Safire, “The Fumblerules of Writing” (The New York Times, November 4, 1979)

If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times, resist hyperbole.

The above is one of the numerous so-called “fumblerules of writing” compiled by William Safire for the November 4, 1979 issue of The New York Times (specifically, for the “On Language” column). In the introduction, Safire describes these “never-say-neverisms” as “perverse rules of grammar,” because, as is clear from the example, each of them is written in a way which is a blatant violation of the rule it states. Perhaps his point is that, well, rules are meant to be broken; you get bonus points if you can make people laugh while doing it.

#9: Katie Wales, A Dictionary of Stylistics (1989)

Hyperbole is often popularly assumed to distinguish female from male speech… But there is no firm evidence that women exaggerate more than men do. It’s an absolutely preposterous claim.

Ever since Samuel Johnson made fun of his own job by defining the word “lexicographer” in his monumental Dictionary of the English Language as “a harmless drudge,” many compilers of glossaries have tried replicating the act, planting quite a few hilarious Easter eggs in their, otherwise, exhaustingly unbiased works. It is always great when one happens upon such an example in these much-necessary compendiums of knowledge. The above sentence, for instance, is taken from the entry for “hyperbole” in Longman’s Dictionary of Stylistics. The funny thing about it is the enigmatic incongruity between the neutral style of the first two sentences and the personal tone of the third one. Namely, after pointing out matter-of-factly that “there is no firm evidence that women exaggerate more than men do,” the author concludes the paragraph with an exaggeration utterly unusual for a dictionary: “It’s an absolutely preposterous claim.” But the author of the book is a woman—and that makes this hyperbole just about outrageously funny.

#10: Robert A. Harris, Writing with Clarity and Style (2003)

Nevertheless, it can still be an effective tool of writing, if used carefully. In fact, hyperbole is the most important, most powerful, most useful rhetorical device ever invented, a billion times more impactful than any other device, so you absolutely must learn and use it all the time or your writing will be a futile exercise in tragic banality, mocked and scorned by every reader on the planet, to put it mildly.

Here’s another funny example similar in manner and tone to the previous two—though out-hyperbolizing both. After pointing out that “we are exposed to constant barrage of hyperbole and have become numb toward much of it,” Robert Harris suddenly makes the strangest of claims in his handbook Writing with Clarity and Style; namely, that hyperbole is “the most important, most powerful, most useful rhetorical device ever invented.” It is only after the obligatory second of confusion and bewilderment—”what about metaphor or simile?”—that a reader can realize that Harris is merely pulling his/her leg, using hyperbole after hyperbole to illustrate his previous point; the real icing on the comical cake, however, must be the lovely four-word appendage: “to put it mildly.”

Bad Faith Auto Insurance?

Should I hire an attorney for this?, I purchased a policy online a few months ago within the first few days that i had this insurance I had a storm and damaged my vehicle (minor) with hail damaged I submitted out a claim, appraiser was sent they covered the loss sent a check to me, now i take it to the bodyshop and try to have it fixed but they need a supplement, they contact insurance co. but insurance co, makes many excuses over this they state I dont have full coverage which I do, and it was verfied with them that i do, the next few weeks pass and then I finally get a call from a manager at the insurance company stating that they mistakenly sent me out a check because I made a false claim report, they said that they can tell by my pictures before policy was bought that vehicle had damaged (which is an excuse of denying supplement) and stated the the adjuster overlooked everything point here is that insurance co, cancelled my policy by stating underwriting issues, so now Im without insurance coverage, the manager also stated she reported this to the texas state but mentioned she could not put a stop payment on the check and that I could still use it to fix the car or cashout the check... I am really dissapointed at how all this was handelled, Im thinking about getting an attorney, I already discussed and this issue with the Insurance company and Im basicly told that I lied about the claim and they end my call... Should I wait to get an attorney or should I just get one and go from there? I believe this is bad faith insurance coverage, What should I do? I mean I still have the check it is not cashed out, I cant really do much with this check everyone charges an arm and a leg, can they file insurance fraud charges and if so even though I know I did everything right should I get an attorney?""

Now it is still going strong with 150K but he just got hit from behind and the insurance company will want to junk it because the repairs will cost more then the car. He has asked the other party for $600 out of pocket but the other party wants to go thru insurance because they only have a $200 deductible.

Can I get liability insurance if I do a roll over?

What's wrong with car insurance?

I am a safe driver. I've never had a car accident or ticket. As a consequence of my choices, I pay very low rates for car insurance. Other people I know have had accidents and many tickets, they pay a lot for car insurance. In this system, each person pays a different rate based on the consequences of their choices and actions. So what is wrong with this system? Why can't we use the exact same system for health insurance? If I eat right, exercise, and wash my hands then I will rarely get ill and should pay very low insurance rates. My neighbor eats junk food, smokes, and never exercises, has lots of medical issues and will for as long as he lives, shouldn't he pay a much higher rate for insurance? Why would anybody want a government system in which we will both pay the same rate? That is blatantly unfair to me since I make good choices and wont get sick as often. Furthermore, I have the choice of lots of different car insurance companies (Geico, Allstate, Nationwide, Progressive, etc.), this competition drives lower costs and better service. Why would I want to give up choice in favor of a monopoly? What is wrong with our car insurance system that somebody would not want the exact same system for our health care?""
