I think I might have body dysmorphic disorder..?
i'm an 18 year old guy, and i'm pretty sure I have this after reading an article about it. Ever since I could remember, I've been obsessed with the way i look. I'm CONSTANTLY thinking about it and i'm always paranoid if people are noticing my flaws. Honestly, I pretty much hate everything about myself, not like personality wise just looks. I'm pretty tall and skinny which annoys me and I can't really gain weight. The number one thing that drives me crazy is my skin. I have to wash my face three times a day, use an astringent, and moisturize. I feel like I get my pimples everyday of my life. I also have to go tanning or make myself really pale depending on how I feel like I want to look at the moment. My nose is disgusting, its curved to the side and its like droopy at the tip. My forehead is huge and the biggest part where my pimples are and I just hate my hair in general. When I say I think about how I look constantly, i really wish i was exaggerating. I've pushed so many people away, because I always talk about how ugly I am and I haven't really hung out with my friends outside of my house for a while because of it. I haven't been to work in two weeks, because I feel that everyone I work with is beautiful and they always talk about me, at Hollister. There probably aren't that many guys that have this which makes it even more awkwawrd. I always look at models that I want to look like and its driving me crazy.I constantly skip school too. I'm actually kinda happy because I didn't know there was a name for this until a few minutes ago. Is there like any medication I can go get or anything? My parents won't pay for any surgeries right now. And are there any specialists to talk to specifically about this without my parents knowing because I hate talking to them about this. any help would be appreciated
How to help friend with BDD (body dysmorphic disorder)?
She takes medication for it, and seems to be getting a bit better. But she isn't anywhere near recovery, she has breakdowns in public, she's becoming so obsessive and wants to leave school and go somewhere no one knows her it's that bad. What can I do to help her? What other treatments are there?
Is my friend developing an eating disorder or body dysmorphic disorder?
I always tell her she looks great as do many others but she says " don't lie to my face." & gets very upset. She doesn't see herself the same way other people see her. She's 5'5" and about 145lbs and has already lost 11lbs since summer. She's really trying but the weight just seems to come off more slowly for her. She insists to continue dieting vigorously until she drops another 20lbs. All she talks about is her diet and how guilty she feels if she eats something bad. She even told me she cried because she ate a frosty from Wendy's. She weighs herself at least 5 times a day. I'm really starting to get worried about her, so I searched up body dysmorphic disorder and eating disorders to learn more information. What do you guys think? Could this be the start of an eating disorder or B.D.D.? Please answer soon I need the answers fast She also avoids relationships and feels there's no point to them because she'd be too big no matter who she's with, and when she walks down the school halls she says she feels as if everyone's watching her, thinking " wow, she's huge " She feels like if people don't like her that it's because she's big. I don't know what to do

Do I have BDD (Body dysmorphic disorder)?
I am 17. I was diagnosed with OCD when I was 10. These symptoms have been going on ever since I was little, 7 or 8 I think I spend 2 hours just on my makeup for school. I'm very obsessive with making my hair and makeup perfect I can't go anywhere without makeup. I can't be in my own house without makeup unless I" m sleeping. And I'm not talking a bit of mascara and some lip gloss. It's excessive according to other people I spend my entire day thinking about how I look. On " good" days,, I feel so happy that it's euphoric. On " bad" days, I feel like there's no point in living The only reason I ever have fun is if I look good. If I look just okay or if my makeup or hair isn't perfect, then I can't have fun or be happy I'm never present. I never really know or pay attention to what's going on around me because I'm only thinking about how I look I feel like being pretty is the only thing I have to offer and if I don't look good then what do I have? What's left of me? I'm worthless if I" m not beautiful One second I feel pretty, and then five minutes later if I go check the mirror I'm crushed because then I look ugly. I have to go to the bathroom and touch up my makeup and hair after every class. I spend my whole lunch in the bathroom fixing myself. I can't do anything that involves messing up how I look. Like sports, dance, swimming, gym class, etc. I refuse to and I won't have fun because I'll look hideousI'm not vain though. It's not just that I care about how I look. It's who I am. It's the only reason I'm alive. People tell me I" m pretty quite often, but I feel like everyone is delusional or maybe I" m delusional because I clearly don't see what other people see. But I'm jealous of other girls, not because of how they look but because they can do sports and they can come to school with only mascara on and wet hair because they took a shower that morning. I'm jealous of the people who have lifeguard training class first hour and are perfectly okay with getting ready in five minutes after swimming each morning. I WANT TO BE NORMAL

I'm a 20 year old male. My counselor believes I have B.D.D. However, I know that I have a big head. I know that I have a long drawn out egg shaped face. I've been called names all my life due to my head size and shape. Obviously my counselor tells me its not like that her goal is to get me recovered.Yeah fair enough, I may exaggerate it a bit... but honestly, its there. So what's your option if the defect is genuinely there?
What's wrong with me? Body dysmorphic disorder?
So when I was around 7 I developed anerexia. That lasted until I was about 13. I was adopted by my grandparents when I was around 7 and I was happy. But I now am thinking it was because my bad childhood with my real parents. Now I am 17 years old and better. I am 118 pounds and 5'1. Which is the largest Iv ever been. But when I was 14 I started to become anorexic again but it got better when I was 16. I am terrified of my picture being taken. And when it is, I can't look at it. I know I'm better, but I feel weird. Like I'm not normal. My boyfriend thinks its weird I won't take pictures with him. I don't like looking at myself in the mirror and I think I'm hideous. When I WAS anorexic when I was 14 I saw myself as if I was so fat. I didn't really realize how skinny I was. Now that I have some weight on me I do, and I hate myself. I want to get better, so I take anxiety medicine to try to be more confident. But it's not working. I didn't talk until I was about 13. In school I would whisper to a friend and she would say it out loud. Idk what's wrong with me. I think it might be body dysmorphic disorder, but I'm not sure. I just want to get better. Can anyone help?Thank you Tyler That actually really helped. I'm gonna do that I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had to deal with this so long, and it got better
