Thanks Perna,

I'll will definately check it out.

I have a great book on BDD called The Broken Mirror by Katharine Phillips, MD. If you don't already have it summerflower22, you might want to get it.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder-CLICK HERE

It helped me understand BDD and how it is often trivialized because everyone cares about how they look. But it's not a matter of vanity. That's why it's hard to talk about.

People tend to reassure me that I look fine.

That the distorted body image is imagined.

But it's not like being dissatisfied or hung up with my looks, it's delusional like anorexia.

And even though I know this intellectually, it still doesn't change what I see when I look in the mirror.
