Hey guys, i keep obsessing about bits of my face - nose, lip symatry etc, i know this is classic BDD because it causes me anxiety, to much time wasted on it, Distortion about the problem, i.e ive got a slight bump on the right side of my nose and id like to get the front fixed along with that but i make more of a deal than i should about it. I just wanna knpow if you guys have had these obsession and what you have done about it.

Hey man, I sort of have a similar issue. Well not exactly but just about obsessing over a body part. I got my tooth chipped once so I filed it down which was dumb but I lived with it but every time I'd chip another I'd do the same until once I just filed them all down but anyways. In my mind, they all have to be perfect you know? Even though they never were I'm always trying to figure a way to make them better or whatever. Anyways it drives me insane, I'm constantly checking until I just get so exhausted I almost don't care anymore but then it comes back lol. You're not alone!

I am obsessed with feeling fat. I think it comes from years of reading magazines and when I was young I did ballet. I used to think Nicole Richie looked good.
I wear loose clothing a lot, because I feel fat. I only weigh about 130lbs, but for me that feels high.
Other people refer to me as being thin and not having a weight problem.
