Hi all,

First time posting here, I would love to hear your thoughts on my situation.

I've experienced quite a traumatic break up three months ago. We had moved abroad to Africa together for work after only 7 months together (we fell completely in love over the course of last summer), however after 6 weeks she dumped me.

It was very tense out there between us due to the stress of living together and being ...

So a while now I've been perplexed why I looked so screwed up in the mirror compared to my HD camcorder that is worth 400 dollars. So I used invisible glass spray on them and now I look identical to the image I get in my photos now. Cheap cameras though will make me look screwed up still. I feel A LOT better about myself now that I've properly cleaned my mirrors. I looked like ...

Honestly I'm fine generally with how I look in certain lights I don't think I'm good looking but at least not hideous like usual. I've found out lighting can change your look quite dramatically, and I feel like not having control on how I look 24/7 kills me. Here's some pictures of a high fashion model in some good lighting and then not so good lights. Although I'm not anywhere close to being supermodel good ...

I started seeing a psychologist about various issues, and I mentioned suspecting that I have BDD. I've struggled with the symptoms for over 10 years and I feel more hopeless than ever about my appearance today.

What struck me is that he seemed to focus on how I should accept that I'm ugly rather than digging much deeper and understanding my problem. The session basically confirmed to me that I don't have BDD and I ...

(Not sure if already covered but it's worth a shot).

Hi everyone,
I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm a 24 year old male. I've had symptoms of venous insufficiency for about a year now (since Feb 2016). It's when your venous system can't operate against gravity like it used to - varicose veins, reflux, blood pooling in legs (itching, rashes etc etc). Anyway, In Feb 2016 I noticed a few really ...

Hi guys! I'm new here. First off - let me just say that I was not officially diagnosed with somatic symptom disorder or hypochondriasis, but my psychiatrist said that I show several signs of hypochondria and I do feel like that's something that I do have. Mostly I'm just hyperaware of the sensations in my body and immediately jump to the worst case scenario when I have an ongoing sensation or pain, but because I ...

I have struggled on and off with BDD for the past few years but recently my worries have been about growing old as opposed to obsessing over a specific feature. I am a 20 year old girl, so by all accounts I am probably right in my physical prime. I know it probably seems terribly premature to even be thinking about growing old since I have all of my twenties ahead of me etc but ...
