Bdd

[Sacrament]

Anyone else here feel like they may have this?

Body dysmorphic disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm pretty sure I do, as I obsess about every little thing and it drives me nuts.

I think I have BDD too, I'm obsessed so much about the way i look.
I see myself in a wrong way, but everyone tells me i'm pretty,
But I really don't think so.
I'm in the bathroom for many hours a day.
And i always wear make-up outside my house.. (not too much of course)

I remember when I first came here, I felt intimidated by you, i had a different view of you back then, never imagined you could have any issues. Your pics stood out from the others, you looked like that cool hot teen girl, and everyone just kept ttalkin about you.. shocked when I saw a list of your issues, thought it's a lie or something,.... now after knowing you better I believe you when you say you THINK your ugly.... lol what am I on, stop

Who are you talking about?

There'll be a ton of people who claim to have it but don't meet the criteria, because nobody's completely happy with how they look.

Yes, but I've thoroughly explored that particular Wikipedia page and although you are right, I do believe that I have it. If, for some reason, anxiety-related or not, I have the smallest pimple on my face, I'll go insane, and will start thinking that everyone at work or on the street will be staring at it, making fun of it and so forth. It's a never ending cycle that makes me feel tremendously inferior and just worsens everything.

BDD is a really intense disorder. I saw a documentary on it a while ago and became pretty interested in it. People who have it struggle to even go out in public, and many of them resort to wearing clothing that covers their physical defect that they think they have. There was one guy who had it and wore sunglasses 24/7 because he thought his eyes were defected. It's one of those things that if you have it, you or people who know you pick up on pretty quick. There's a huge difference between being really insecure about how you look and having BDD.

uhmmm.... what the FUСK???? what the hell are you talking about? everyone? First of all I don't eat babies, sacrament(O). Secondly, gf? dog? huh? NO ONE EVER WAS OR WILL BE. I'm actually asexual by the way. Leave me alone.

Stop eating babies.

Yes, it is a pretty intense disorder. I may not have full-blown BDD, but I think I partly do, much like some people have some traits of SA, but not 'fully.'

Hm I see. Well you know yourself better than anyone else I suppose. I just did a search on the documentary I watched and its on youtube. It's called Too Ugly To Love. You should check it out, it's pretty interesting.

You are a stupidhead . and like jbrown I don't know what you're talking about, but whatever it is it's not even true. Ohhh I'm probably what qualifies as too ugly to love, and I apparently eat babies, that's pretty ugly.

Yes, my nose looks perfectly straight if you look at it from the left, but ugly and crooked if you look at it from the right. It's really unnoticeable, but I still obsess over it.

I've been told i might have BDD because i basically hate everything about my body, in my eyes everything is disgusting, i'm too fat, ugly, etc..i get told that i'm not bad looking, but i never believe people, i just think they're saying it to be nice and not upset me!

You are crazy, you look beautiful in your avatar. I don´t believe at all that you are ugly. You should certainly post your pic! If you knew how ashamed of myself I sometimes am, I won´t go into details because I don´t want to be annoying.

I may or may not have BDD. If I simpily just thought I was ugly and worried about it a little, I'd say I don't have it because most people have insecurities about there looks that they think make them ugly, and simply thinking you're ugly doesn't mean you have BDD. BDD is a sub class of OCD so you have to be obsessing and worrying a whole lot for it to BDD or spend a lot of time on the compulsions. I have tons of compulsions related to my concerns about my looks however, I'm not sure if my worries cause a significant amount of distress and my compulsions don't take enough time to be qualified as BDD. I take daily measurments of my waist and hips, calculate my waist to hip ratio weekly to see if I'm any closser to the ideal, measure all the features of my face and compare them to others, create symetrical photos for each half of my face and compare them to my real face, occasionally spend hours on the computer looking up proportion ratios for various parts of my body (most recently the leg to body ratio), do research on the science of beauty and compare myself to the findings, can't walk down a street without comparing my leg thickness and length and my waist to hip ratio to at least one person, ect. I also have various weird ways I try to alter my body without surgery.

BDD is like, if you think about how you look a lot, and like the thought of your nose being big makes you obsess about it hard, like its the end of the world. i got my days were i can think like ah its just my nose, its big ugly, but so what, not that big of a deal, life goes on... on other days its like the end of the world, and i cant stop thinkin about it, lookin at it from all angles to see how bad it really is, for hours in the mirror, once i tried doin surgery on it on myself haha, thats how crazy i was.

and touching your face a lot, like going with your fingers over the chin, nose to feel it.

takin pics of myself helps, coz i look different in pics than in the mirror, so whenever i try stressin about something i look at pics now to remind myself its not how it looks in the mirror, like the mirror is a lie, and the pics are the truth lol if that makes sense
