Since I can't find a specific forum on BDD, I thought I might ask in here. I suffer with Body Dismorphic Disorder, along with OCD and a few other things, and it's horrible to live with. It's also confusing to me when everyone I know,meet say that I am a beautiful girl. I just don't see it. I've told I am a perfectionist, but nothing seems to be good enough for me. I hate looking in the mirror, and I always need reasurance from the one I love. I see flaws that other people don't. I have really low self esteem also. I take care of myself (work out, try to eat right, dress nicely) even that doesn't help. I've even come to conclusion that I need plastic surgery in order to be happy. Is there anyone else out there going thru this? I'd like to hear other people's experieneces.
