Do I have BDD?

Hello, new to this site. I read about BDD and it says how people obsess over imaginary or slight flaws. What if I obsess over real flaws that are more than slight? I have a few really bad scars on my face and some that are minor. I'm not exaggerating. They are big and I've been asked about them before. Luckily At least 2 of the 4 bigs ones are on the side of my face which I can hide with my hair. I miss the days of being able to pull my hair back without looking like a freak. The thing that is most humiliating about them is that I did it to myself years ago. I had some acne that I thought was really bad and I felt like I just had to get it off my face because it looked and felt disgusting. All I managed to do was make myself uglier. Still sometimes I feel like picking at my face at times and feel disgusting when I see pimples, but I try to remind myself of my scars and that I don't want to make my face even worse.
I do think about how I look for hours a day probably and check myself in different mirrors, lighting, and reflective items. Many times I'm scared to go out or when I go out I feel like all everyone see's are my scars. I've had old friends from high school want to meet and catch up and I've always come up with excuses not too. I'm scared of them seeing what a freak I look like now.
I also hate that my face is so asymmetrical. I have a deviated septum which makes my nose a little crooked. Once again that's not a made up flaw. I want to get it fixed but I'm scared of the doctor seeing the damage I did to myself and thinking I'm a freak. The same goes for seeing a dermatologist to see what can be done for my scars. There are a few other things but I'll try to not make this too long and just talk about the main ones.
So can this be BDD if these things are real and not just exaggerated and not just in my head?

The diagnosis for BDD, which is a mental disorder, is not based on your looks. It is based on your thoughts. Are your thoughts distressing you so much that your life is being compromised? After you answer that then you can turn your attention to the true demon...What you let yourself think.
So the content of the thoughts don't matter at all. The feeling of the thoughts is what most BDDers and OCDers simply overlook. If it feels bad, then the thoughts are not on your path of happiness.
But the problem becomes more apparent to you when you do try to stop thinking these thoughts and come to realise you can't seem to stop them coming. At this point you have confirmed the diagnosis for yourself. The distress combined with the intrusive nature of the thoughts lets you know.
Often people at this point try to analyse the thoughts to try and convince themselves that they are true, so that sort of lets them off the hook from controlling them. Compulsions and the desire for fixes takes over, while all the time the thoughts feel truly horrible to think.
The thoughts are never right for you to think.
Diffusing your thoughts is the best way forward. Let your family know what is going on so you can get help. Wish you better. Marg

Yep, I know it’s not about looks. What I was trying to get across though was how much I obsess over how I look. Other people have told me they think I’m pretty, but still all I think about is How ugly I am. If I counted up all the time I spend each day thinking about that stuff...that would be scary lol.

Yes, I hear what you say. This is how it usually goes. You start by noticing something small but very soon the thoughts become overwhelming. They are coming all the time and you don't know how to stop them. They are so insistent and persistent. At this stage you don't understand what the strong emotions are telling you. You think there is something majorly wrong with your look. You look for the fix. The desperation robs you of a proper life. And you are completely right when you realise it never is about your looks. It is about how your brain is now working. All thoughts are being sponsored by fear. They never tell you anything you want to hear. You become powerless to control them. Often your life becomes unmanageable. You can't live with the scary thoughts and you can stop believing that there must be something you can do. Switching off the fear originating in your brain takes you on a journey to find why you have let fear in. You need to learn to love yourself just the way you are. Love anything will help you feel better. Love and appreciation is the best counter to fear. Fear has no place in a healthy life. Seek help. It is there. Wish you better. Marg
