For my 15th birthday my parents finally listened to my shrink and got me my amputations. being depressed and suicidal all the time was a result of my condition. BIID (Body identity integrity disorder) i'ts a real thing.i have been telling mom and dad and my older sister for like, 2 years now. They finally started listening to my psychiatrist who told them if i didnt have my arms amputated that i would not make it to my 18th birthday. Dr preston told them about the Amputee and prosthetic center in the cayman islands and how provide safe legal amputations for people like me. They took me to the center for my summer vacation this year. They did the amputations and i was back home in 2 weeks starting my new life and learning how do things with my feet all summer. I just went back to school a few weeks ago, i’m in the 9th grade. No one could believe it when i came back to school after summer vacation with no arms. We decided to tell everyone it was a car accident so there wouldnt be a lot of questions. I have a helper who carries my books and sits in class with me and feeds me lunch,takes me to the bathroom ect.. and i even have a new boyfriend. I have never been happier and i owe it all to APC. My big sister helps me around the house with dressing and bathing me and personal stuff that i would never let my parents do for me and she is like totally supportive all the time.I’m having the best summer of my life and i cant wait for the holidays. This is going to be a fun Halloween,Thanksgiving and Christmas with my new body. -- source link
