Hi there,

Hey there! I have recently been diagnosed with BDD by a clinical psychologist. I have also taken two tests in BDD and one in how BDD affects my social life where I have scored 100/100 in both tests. To be honest, I was very happy that I was actually diagnosed with the disorder because it gives me hope that what I see in the miror may be imagined. I am wiring this because I am ...

Hello all,

I’m new to this forum, so apologies if something similar has been posted already.

I think I might have BDD, but I’m not sure. My main issue is not being able to look in mirrors (apart from the mirrors in my house), and having my photo taken/seeing photos of myself.

The photo thing is really bothering me and has been for a while. I look hideous in almost all photographs, and although what ...

So two nights ago, I came across a video about measuring faces/heads and was confused about the way he measured their faces II have always had a big head/face paranoia and i have been in an absolute despair/frenzy thinking my face/head is WAY oversized since watching this video and the confusion of whether he was measuring their faces hairline to chin or tip of their head to chin.

I'm 18, the obsessions with my appearance started when I was about 14 I think. I was really fat back then, about 115kg. Now I weigh 80kg but social anxiety and obsessions are still haunting me.

The severe symptoms of my obsession appeared about 2 years ago. I hate how my hips look, my nose is too big, my hair is thinning and overall I still look fat and unproportioned. I take photos of my ...

Hello. I know it is a rule on these forums not to post pics however I really need an outside opinion as to whether or not I look similar to someone. I had saved this persons pic to my folder because I thought he was “beautiful” ... then later I opened the folder forgetting I had saved it and my brain registered his face as my face for a split second so it made me ...

I don't know exactly how to explain this. It used to happen every once in a while but lately it's been affecting me about every other day or so... I just can't stand being in my body. I suspect I have BDD though I have no way of getting it diagnosed. I was wondering if this could possibly have something to do with that? I'll try to explain the sensation...
I can really feel everything ...
