I was wondering if there is anyone on here that has been diagnosed with body Dysmorphia Disorder (BDD) that could help me out. It's something I have often thought about but have never had a diagnosis and I don't feel brave enough to mention this to my Dr or therapist.
I have suffered a bad body image of myself ever since I was bullied in school. I hate looking at myself in the mirror. I have never felt pretty or attractive. I shy from the camera and I do not like looking at pictures of myself.
I can go into more details but before I do I was wondering if there is anyone out there with similar feelings. I feel ashamed bringing this up with anyone and it's hard for me to talk about it but I don't know enough about BDD to suggest if this is something I am suffering with or if I'm just suffering with low self esteem and low worth.
