It sounds like you have the same symptoms we do, but as I said before I haven't been officially diagnosed. I am not one to tell people to go running to doctors, since you can see how much I dislike mine.
But if you are the type that is comfortable with that sort of thing, then I don't see what it could hurt. I have told my psych about my feelings and she thinks it is normal. She tries to belittle everything I say. When I tell her it takes me hours to put on makeup she says, "We all want to look good. Some people spend more time on their makeup than others." No matter what I say, she shrinks it down to "normalcy." It's so frustrating. I am not normal in that regard. This hatred and pure revulsion to myself and the way I look cannot be normal. If it is ... I pity everyone.
On another note, does anyone else have an utterly INSENSITIVE bf/gf? D. knows how I feel about things and we have been fighting SO much over it lately. I told him what I feel would help me and he said, "Ok, I'll try." One of the things that I said would help is for him to express an interest in me/my body but without grabbing at things like he tends to do. I was changing clothes (AGAIN) earlier and he walks in. I told him "don't look!" and instead of him respecting me and leaving me to change he goes, "No, I want to touch your utters."
... Excuse me? My "utters"? So I'm a fat cow now am I?
I was so royally pissed at him and I made sure he knew it too. That was NOT the way for him to act. He makes me feel MORE self conscious than I already am!
