Hi Rezoh , it sounds like things are really difficult for you right now and I can hear you have been through a lot. You mentioned sometimes feeling suicidal, it's really important that you get the help you need if you're feeling this way.

We are a UK based organisation but as it’s not clear where you're based we’d recommend you seeking professional support or crisis services in your country. You can find a list of them here support.healthunlocked.com/...

Take care of yourself,

Hello Rezoh and welcome to the community. Well done for deciding to reach out on here as I know it can be difficult.

I also have a cleft lip and palate along with some other conditions. I've had a lot of surgery too throughout my life. I am currently in the process of making the decision about whether or not to have an operation on my nose but I have been told that I won't need jaw surgery. Going through surgery can be tough but hopefully it will all be worth it. Just remember, it is ultimately your decision.

I'm sorry to hear the way it can make you feel sometimes. It can be extremely difficult having to live with a visible difference because of all the challenges it can bring (surgery, bullying, low self-confidence...) but it also makes you stronger each day!

I believe you should follow your dream to become an actress... don't let your cleft stop you! You can do it!

Wishing you all the best. I'm here if you need to talk
