Body Dysmorphic Disorder
I don't know if I am dealing with this right now with my eyes. I have done this with other things too. The obsession with my eyes has never been this bad or lasted this long though. I did make an eye appointment but it's not for a few weeks because I want reassurance. I already had an eye appointment a few months ago and I thought about asking the doctor if my eyes were straight but I felt dumb. I don't know if I'll keep the appointment or what. I'm just feeling depressed and ugly right now and I hate feeling that way because it drains my energy and it's all I can focus on and I feel selfish when I'm like this.
I'm sad to hear you are feeling so bad right now, Kim. I don't know much about BDD, but I do know it is very painful. Do you have a therapist who you can speak to about this? I'd hate for you to suffer through this without any professional help.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it is actually BDD because it comes and goes but I have a few other issues with my body too. I have learned to deal with them though for the most part.
