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.

I got a thought while looking at a picture of a kid saying that she’s going to look good when she’s older. Why did I have this thought? I know it’s not even true, as peoples appearance change as they grow up. Does this mean I was attracted to this kid? Did I think this image of a kid was pretty in a way that suggested me to have this thought? I know I’m supposed to label these thoughts as ocd but how do I know I don’t truly believe this thought.

I was normally in the bathroom.when i glanced on the mirror,you know,when ur face looks good on the mirror and u start looking at yourself? Suddenly,like an inner opinion, it said “your face will look hotter as a boy”. Its not he first time i had this voice,everytime i look at myself it come and i will never understand why its here.i ignore it everytime to not make another new theme ocd because im so tired of my hocd,but this time I can’t ignore,its annoying.
