The intention of these survey questions is to help me create a short film that educates the viewer on the condition and shines a light into some of the silent suffering that people with BIID live with.
I am a physiotherapist (currently not practicing due to my own (non-BIID) medical issues), and I am an actor and writer. I first learned of BIID during my Physiotherapy studies and have been fascinated and empathetic about the condition ever since. I have recently become an actor and am writing my own short films. I am currently writing a short film about a woman in her late 30’s who has BIID. I would really love to get some insight into some real-life, personal accounts of people living with this condition, and also from anyone who has been successful with finding ways to cope or change their body in their desired way.
All answers will remain completely anonymous through this survey.
If you feel comfortable, please feel free to elaborate as much as you like about what you have and are going through as a person living with BIID. There is absolutely no judgement. I would really like this short film to do justice to telling an honest story about the truth and humanity of someone living with BIID. The highs and lows and personal struggles that the outside world do not see, and would otherwise never know about.
If you do not feel comfortable answering any question, just leave it blank. As much information as you are willing to share would really help me to create an honest story.
