Hey,

I feel like i'm the only one here who's got body dysmorphic disorder real bad, and becos of that i feel an additional barrier to you guys. I feel inferior somehow.

I'm just wondering if there's anyone here with BDD i can talk to?

yeah, this isn't some club that you have to suffer from only SA to get in. we're not here to give you funny looks or to judge you. SA and BDD are closely related anyway, they both have aspects of public humiliation. but even if it were completely different, we'd still have ya anyway Razz

No, I have it too..

But there are pics of you in the photo album.
Which look nice to me. ^-^?
You are never inferior.
I would never dare to put my pic there.
So, I'm more inferior than you Wink

It means you are superior. Razz

I have BDD, it pretty much rules my life. I sometimes think if I didn't have it, I wouldn't have SP. But yes, don't feel inferior, SP and BDD is very common. Wink

If obsessing about my ears, nose, neck, head, body, fingers, acne/skin and eh... well I guess that's about it, means I have BDD, I have it! (Not all at the same time though, I have fases) And I'm not even female. Smile

I no longer have it though, at least it's getting better every day. I think it's very important that you don't focus on the problem ('I have BDD... I'm such an idiot for having this! etc.) but on the solution ('How can I accept my body as it is, and love myself unconditionally?'). There's a big difference.

You can't be inferior to anyone. Some people judge people's worth on money, others on looks, and others on intellect or knowledge or even skill at a certain sport. So your self worth does not really depend on anything, unless you think it does! It's all arbitrary. One person might think you are inferior to him, while another could have great respect for you, or even admire you. Don't rely on the opinion of others.

You could be ugly (not saying anyone is), and still be happy and make other people happy. And where do you guys see pictures of OP?

*edit: I just went through some pictures in the album. I think some girls looked astonishingly pretty (i hope thats a word), while my standards are way too high.

I used have it.... it was associated with my OCD.
