Postby crescentmoonwalk » Fri Aug 19, 2016 7:41 pm

hey hey!

do any of you with borderline personality also have body dismorphia? I've realized the majority of my friends and I with BPD also have body dismorphia... I dont know if there's a correlation there and/or why but i just find it interesting. Share your stories please and thank u!

Never had any BDD issues other than the odd bad hair day. I do get depressed, but never about stuff like that.

I used to think I had this but now I realize that I'm just legit unattractive, and odd looking. My obsessions aren't severe enough to warrant a Dx. IMO.

Besides, if the person diagnosis you think you're suicidal over your appearance anyway, they will just give you the Dx. to make you feel better about it, and help support the belief that this is all in your head!.

Not saying BDD doesn't exist though - it does, it's just not everyone who dislikes their appearance has it :(
self dx. pdd-nos (level 1); covert narcissism w/ avoidant traits; social phobia; inertia.

INFP; dismissive/fearful-avoidant & highly sensitive person
