ACK! I wrote a terribly long post, and now, it's every bit been erased. I tried to post and it said I needed to sign in, so I did. Then it said it couldn't post it because I had logged in before that....and I pressed the back button and everything is gone. I don't have the energy to write it over.

Wow, that is frustrating and dissapointing. I seriously just don't have the energy to write it again. *sighs* Okay, well, I'm leaving out a lot, but I was thinking about my body image out loud. No offense to those with BDD because I know it must be a really upsetting, painful, frustrating problem to have to deal with, but I wish I was delusional and imagining what I think was wrong with me, rather than having it actually be there for the whole world to see. I don't think I have BDD- I think I'd just prefer my imperfections were in my head- but I do have some symptoms and wanted to know what others thought. There is no way I am retyping those symptoms now. I will however, ask this question. When people have BDD, do they literally hallucinate when looking at themselves and see things that aren't there, or do they see things worse than they really are? Or do they see things exactly as they are, but think of these problems as worse when they are on their own body instead of someone elses? Thanks for helping.
