Recently it has got much worse because I can't even leave the house because I think I'm too ugly. And I'm making myself ugly by eating too much.
I really need help but don't know where to get it.
Answer:
body.dysmorphic.disorder: when.the.mirror.lies
No matter how much weight is lost, or no matter how much food is thrown up, the person with anorexia or bulimia will constantly see the same overweight, vile, failure in the mirror. This typically leads to very destructive and even deadly methods of weight loss in a desperate attempt to lose the distorted perception - in this case, fat (failure). It is very hard, though, for anyone that does not have an eating disorder to be able to understand just how someone could do this to themselves - go through hospitilizations and near death experiences even - but continually see themselves so distorted. Even though Body Dysmorphic disorder isn't just shown in cases of eating disorders (someone afflicted with BDD can obsess not about weight, but instead about their hair, nose, chest, etc.), it still hurts and ruins the lives of whoever is afflicted with it
I have no personal experience with this...but just a question...does taking a photograph rather than looking in the mirror make any difference?
you need help...
Well, I felt like that when I was like... fourteen or something.
I even still feel ugly until this day.
Yet it doesn't stop me from going out and meeting people, because I keep in mind that "Beautiful" is only for celebrities and famous people. They'll die if they look bad, even just for five second, because they get paid to look "amazing".
As for the rest of us mere mortal, we can just choose to be:
friendly, helpful, funny, smart, or smiley, and that'll be enough.
Of course, there's nothing wrong if you want to add: clean, well-groomed, polite, and nicely dressed.
BEAUTY LIES IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER.not mirror or ur eyes.
in this world everyone gets attracted to someone even if they r beautiful or not.no one is made perfect.but the way they carry off themselves and the deeds they do make them differrent and attractive.
i checked ur profile and was able to find that u were intelligent yet introvert.see there are plenty of people in this world and noone has time to check out ur negatives .u have a feeling that everyone is noticing u..thats wrong.they dont have time for that.they also think like you but are not bothered.
u dont have to hide ur self.u have great potential.bring it out to the world let others see.
Please seek counseling. This disease can be dangerous. People who have this have gone so far as to cut up there faces and other parts of there beings. Home mastectomies.
You can cause serious damage and not even mean to.
Get help from a professional. Look in the yellow pages for a therapist and go from there.
Good Luck.
