BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder)

[EpicFailGirl]

I have BDD, which is where you see yourself like you're looking in a carnival warped mirror. The bad things of your appearance, and often personality and behaviour, are all you can see. From what I know, it can lead to self injury and eating disorders. Here's a link to a page to help my retarded explanation:

I don't think there's any 'cure' - it never goes away. I mean, I know that I have BDD, and that I am attractive, but this is an abstract fact, because I look in the mirror and f*ck, would you LOOK at my nose!?

Just wondering if anybody else knowingly suffers from / copes with BDD?

Or maybe this is the wrong forum. I'm sorry. I'm not having a good day.

Hi I don' suffer from BDD but I have traits and one of my closest friends has severe BDD in regards to her nose and toes.

I just want to say I can sympathise, I'm obsessed with my weight and facial hair. I'm convinced I'm fat and have way too much hair for a normal person. How are you doing at the moment?
Are you reciving any support?

Take care xxx
