Well, I do know that my mom will disown me-- she has a history of anorexia, and she still has BDD. She's always been extremely critical of my body, hers, and other people's. She would be horrified and disgusted if she found out... if I don't know anything else, I know that. And yes you're right that stress is a major factor for me. But frankly, although this is no excuse for not attempting to control it, I think it's a part of modern life to be stressed. Modern life is ridiculously stressful, and what do we get out of it? Thanks for the advice though, I think you've definitely got something there with the point on stress.
