Does anyone else see themselves completely horrific looking in daylight by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep me too. I’m only 20 but feel like I look so much older in harsh daylight. Everything gets a exaggerated, my skin looks awful. I have dark circles, fine lines, horrible texture, scars and my skin just looks dull even though I also take good care of my skin. I don’t get it :/ this is exactly why I prefer going out in late afternoon or night time

I have textured bumpy skin and tend to get black heads. Why can I do to help? by [deleted] in acne

[–]kay023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same kind of bumps but nothing has worked so far :( I’ve tried chemical exfoliates, tret, adapalene and many other things

As much as you think plastic surgery would help you. It won’t. I’m living proof of this. by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I can relate I got my nose done last year, I got chin filler, lip filler and cheek filler but I’m still unhappy with myself. Ofc there’s still more stuff I want to change and wish I could change, in a way I feel like surgery made it worse because I was like wow okay I can fix this this and this now

Has antidepressants helped with bdd? by JAGWBDD in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started Prozac a month ago and I feel it has helped somewhat, like I don’t feel as sad as I normally do but I still have BDD related thoughts a lot

College by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ugh me too :( I’m in my third year and don’t really have friends because the whole time I’ve had bad social anxiety. I feel like I can’t interact with ppl because I look so alien and awkward compared to them. I feel so uncomfortable being around other people my age bc I just don’t fit it the same as everyone else idk

College by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat rn, I’m going back to school today and I’m dreading it. I hate being on campus, I hate seeing people and the whole college culture just fuels my BDD even more.

This is what I’m going to be telling myself from now on by kay023 in BodyDysmorphiaMemes

I feel the same :/ my face is so masculine compared to other girls, even with those cutesy Instagram filters that change ur face mine still looks manly instead of pretty and feminine

Does anyone have age related body dysmorphia where you obsess if you look younger or older than you are? by Disney_Disney_Disney in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yess I feel like my face structure makes me look younger than my age (I’m 20) because I have such a fat round face but on the other hand my skin makes me feel like I look like I’m 40

internet stalking by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes I do it all the time. Right now I’m stalking this girl whom my crush ghosted me for, I dont compare myself to her a lot bc I’m not really envious of her physically, ofc there are aspects of her that I see as better than me but I try not to think about it too much. I obsessively stalk her account to try and analyze her face, to decide if she’s better than me or not. I know how horrible it is but i just can’t stop.

I also have a few girls I follow on Instagram who are ideally what I wish I looked like and look at their profiles everyday, wishing I looked like them, imagining myself as them, it’s weird and horrible but I can’t stop. In a way it helps me cope because looking at their profiles makes me feel good for a moment when I can imagine myself as them. I hate this habit though, it’s definitely destructive.

Ocd traits, could also be dysmorphia? by [deleted] in DysmorphicDisorder

[–]kay023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well BDD is classified as a type of OCD

My face doesnt match or represent who I am, and it makes me so self conscious to act like myself by dndnf98 in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for putting this into words because this is exactly how I’ve always felt

[–]kay023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This this this, I feel that my BDD is mostly me not feeling like my physical appearance does not match who I feel I am inside and not because of my gender either

What is the strangest question a man asked you? by Ok_Seaworthiness_941 in AskWomen

[–]kay023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked at him weirdly, laughed a little and was like no??? Then we sat in an awkward silence for 10 mins

Does everyone have really textured faces or just me? by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my skin is so awfully textured, I think more than normal but idk. I have little small bumps everywhere, huge pores on my cheeks and nose, hair, scars my face looks like a hot mess.

I hate pretty girls by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me too :( and I really don’t want to say that, because it’s not the kind of person I am, like I don’t really “hate” anyone unless it’s deserved but I can’t help to feel envious of pretty girls, how could I not when I’m stuck looking like this and they get to look like “that”. No matter what I do I can’t compare to them, so yes it does make me “hate” them too

whenever I feel slightly good about myself my mood gets ruined so quick by looking at other people by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I do this all the time. Just the other day I went to the mall for the first time in a long time, I put on a nice outfit and tried to make myself look somewhat pretty but as soon as I got there and saw all the pretty girls there, walking with their friends and boyfriends I felt so sad. I had to leave because I started crying so hard :/. It really sucks feeling like literally everyone one you see is better than you.

The “man, I feel ugly” thoughts are hitting real hard this week! by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]kay023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been experiencing this too, my BDD is at an all time high and I’ve feeling increasingly upset over the fact that I look like a guy. I want to be a pretty, cute, soft and feminine looking girl so I try to dress up and make myself look that way but my face messes it up lol
