Are you seeing a therapist right now?

BDD is a serious problem and early treatment of it is crucial. I have a slight issue with my own body where I used to obsessively pick my fat, and I would do it subconsciously. I also lack some self-confidence because I'm the biggest of my good friends that live around me and I'm 135 lbs so I'm not HUGE. (I'm really going to try hard and stick to a workout for the next 3 months!) Luckily, my friends and boyfriend are fairly supportive and I'm not seen as less desirable because of the weight.

However, if it ever became an obsessive thought for me, again, I would see a therapist. I would see one that specialized in it because I'd want someone experienced in treating it to see me.
