I feel like my head/body shrunk since winter. I feel like I look really small when I look in the mirror and can sometimes find webcams triggering too.

For the last 3 years since starting a new school, I've been battling what I believe is BDD. I say believe because I haven't actually been diagnosed though I've found that BDD hits the closest to home and I can't really find another explanation for how I'm feeling. Also sorry about the rambling.

Anyhow what I struggle mostly with is how my appearance changes day by day. I just had about 4 days when I ...
