Hi, i have been diagnosed with bdd for a year now but what actually brings the bdd on is when i dont get attention from people, boys mainly.
So its like if a boy gives me attention i feel great and pretty but if i dont get any attention atal i feel so ugly and i dont know what ive done differently.

My friends always get attention! And it makes me sad because boys look ...

Ok I imagine this topic may have been posted in the forum before so I am sorry if it has but I had a look through and couldn't imediately see anything that resembled one like it so I thought I would create one.

Ok so you have been staring unhealthily long at your reflection and you have gotten really stressed up about it, hell, we all know the scenario. What do you eventually get round ...

I believe that I am so hideously ugly that honestly I am really surprised that when I go out people don't start laughing at my face (they probably do but not in front of me). I am so surprised that people can talk to me and not say anything about my deformed face. I am shocked that people don't say "eww" when they look at me. Why are people being so nice to me? Do ...

Hi guys

Now i'm just looking into this disorder as i've been looking for a solution to whats been going on in my head for the last few months because it's really getting to me now. I have arranged to see someone through my doctor and that should be happening in the next few weeks thankfully.

So here's the script....I'm a 21 year old guy who for the past few months has been focusing on ...

Hi. So as Ive already said that I hate the way my nose looks. I actually think that I could be attractive if I did not have a crooked, deformed nose. I know you are probably thinking that I am exaggerating but no my nose is really crooked and I have a deviated septum. I can only breathe through one side of my nose. So I am trying to save money for a nose job ...

Hi,

My best friend is diagnosed with BDD, she is currently on medication for her acne. She's been having doubts about starting the roaccutane soon as apparently it can have lethal side effects. This is obviously very worrying to me, and I can't bear the thought of anything bad happening to her.

Does anyone have any experience of using this specific medicine? Please let me know what you think of it!

Thanks so much!

I am 99.99% sure that I am really ugly. I know people are going to say that it might be because of BDD but no. I REALLY am in fact ugly. I went to see the psychiatrist recently because I have been having major depression because of my looks, social anxiety and inability to focus in school. I was diagnosed with BDD but I really don't understand how I could have this since I am ...

Okay so this may sound a little bit odd but im a fraid to exfoliate my face with grainy cleansers or hand -help cleanser machines or even apply mosturizer to my face sometimes because im afraid i'll tug too hard on my facial skin and cause it to become Saggy , loose, wrinkley etc. Im so annoyed by this obsession also im afraid to sleep on my sides because im afraid my already fading looks ...

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you


Ok thats a song... :P
But i just want to ask you..
Am i the only one who hates his birthday??
I mean, you get all the attention (in my case, it temporal, just a few minutes, just ...

I can't believe how much this is bothering me. I feel like I'm turning into a hideous aging monster before my eyes. And it varies a lot from day to day so I know it's mostly in my head. But whether or not it's real it still makes me feel this bad.

I have been searching for laser and chemical peel treatments to make this go away at least until I'm 26 or 28.

But ...
