On Dr. Phil today

On Dr Phil today, the topic is supposed to be about "Body Dysmorphic Disorder." I know I have this problem for sure, and I think eating disorders are closely connected to BDD. What do you think? Do any of you suffer from BBD other than the usual body distortions of the eating disorders?

You know that famous painting called "The Scream?" (Many different versions of it have been done, and you see alot of masks of it around during the Halloween season.) The face is long, white, and distorted. This is what I see in the mirror even though I know nobody else see me that way!
