Would body dysmorphia be, for example, seeing a picture of yourself and not believing it’s you? like you know it’s you but it’s just hard to truly believe it’s you?

I struggle with body dysmorphia. It’s not so much that I don’t believe that what I’m looking at, it’s just that what I see in photos isn’t how I perceive myself. I perceive myself to be uglier than I am in reality, and I find it difficult to believe that I’m truly beautiful when someone tells me that I am. I do deal with a bit of depersonalization, however, and that’s when it becomes hard to recognize myself.

Not exactly..body dysmorphia is when someone looks in the mirror and thinks they are fat even though in reality they are very thin.

exactly, I struggle with depersonalization too so when I’m presented with a photo of myself I’m like “is that me? Is this real? How am I alive right now” kind of things and i just can’t mentally grasp that I’m a person. Even when I see a picture of myself I don’t believe it’s me but I feel like that has more to do with the camera switching my face so I end up seeing someone that I don’t normally see in selfies or in the mirror

That’s just depersonalization. Not BDD.
