body/face dysmorphia and OCD
I’ve struggled with OCD since I was 12. Some body dysmorphia popped up a couple of years later. Now in my early 30’s I have been diagnosed with both. I read they were highly related. When I was twelve my OcD started with a fear of germs and now BDD is driving my OCD right now. I am constantly thinking/fearing troubles on my face and having issues checking/comparing flaws. Driving myself crazy here. It also jumps from my face to a body part. It jumps around but it’s really affecting the quality of my life. Is anyone else struggling with these two disorders together? Were you able to find help?
