I'm sorry to hear you have this disorder. It is horrible for you. I hope that you get the help you need.
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a mental disorder, which involves a disturbed body image. Body dysmorphic disorder is generally diagnosed of those who are extremely critical of their physique or self image, despite the fact there may be no noticeable disfigurement or defect;
Most people wish they could change or improve some aspect of their physical appearance, but people suffering from BDD, otherwise considered normal, believe that they are so unspeakably hideous that they are unable to interact with others or function normally for fear of ridicule and humiliation at their appearence.
BDD combines obsessive and compulsive aspects which has linked it to the OCD spectrum disorders among psychologists. People with BDD may engage in compulsive mirror checking behaviors or mirror avoidance, typically think about their appearence for more than one hour a day and in severe cases may drop all social contact and responsibilities as they become homebound. The disorder is linked to an unusually high suicide rate among all mental disorders.

me and my g/f have chlamydia. i think all diseases and ilness cause a ceratain of stress and worry. my only advice is too stick with what doctors tell you. letting people that care for you, support is something else that helps. i personally don't know what dysorpic disorder is? but if you follow what people tell you and most important of all!! follow what you want. you should get what you want
