Anyone wonder if their anxiety...?

if their anxiety comes from just feeling flat out ugly? or is it body dysmorphia or what?

Allow me to elaborate...

Throughout school I always felt like the ugly duckling and was told as much. I did get boyfriends after I dyed my strawberry blonde hair brown and started wearing makeup. When I got to the point where it was time to start working I felt so much anxiety about being around people, because I ...

Childhood maltreatment and trauma is common in BDD

Hi all.

Here is some useful info, I think. There seems to be a significant link between BDD and childhood trauma. There is a recent scientific article on this, “Childhood maltreatment and trauma is common and severe in body dysmorphic disorder” . And there are similar studies.

How different life could have been.

Growing up, I was a chronic mouth breather due to nasal polyps, which has caused me to have a recessed face. I was bullied and isolated a lot during my childhood, which has caused me pretty rough social anxiety and an obsession over my appearance. People tell me I look ok/pretty and guys do give me attention, but it all feels like pitty/hitting on me out of desperation as scientifically my face has very unattractive ...
