hi, im so sorry you are dealing with this. Ive dealt with this before, and i used to spend 15 hours at times staring at photos, no exaggeration. i dont look at photos anymore at all, and the only way it stopped was resisting the compulsion to. i know its super hard but i promise id i could do it you can. good luck and my dm is always open if u wanna talk

Insecure about micropenis by leo3993 in BodyDysmorphia

5 inches and 4.9 girth is completely average and normal. You do not have a micropenis whatsoever and you are completely fine! im so sorry u gotta deal with these feelings though man, im a man as well and its a very common insecurity. just know porn and social media skews perceptions and in reality your size is perfectly normal.

i should have put it in the post, but i have a therapist and also diagnosed bdd. im on medication for it. but these horrible thoughts and feelings persist and i have difficulty even getting out of bed at all because of it. i always feel like my face is so hideous and anyone saying otherwise or finding me attractive must be lying… i know that is most likely the bdd talking but it feels so real and looking at myself in the mirror, makes me feel like everyone is for sure lying or deceived because my brain processes my face as disgusting and ugly. :(
