I believe that I have had some form of BDD for a majority of my life.

I remember almost getting held back in first grade because I'd missed so much school. I was 5, and every morning I would have panic attacks about being too ugly and fat to go to school. Eventually my Mother gave up and let me stay home.

To this day, I still have major self-esteem issues. I also hate getting dressed/looking in the mirror every morning. Worst part of my day. Or if I step on the scale...

You are not alone, that's for sure!
