Do I have BDD? OCD? BFRB?

Have you ever looked in a mirror and become fixated on a pimple or a scar or other flaw on your skin? Or been suddenly consumed by the idea that your nose looks weird? Imagine that this is all you see every time you look in the mirror. Imagine feeling convinced that these flaws were the only things other people saw when they looked at you. This leads to shame, self-hatred, and overly critical thoughts about your appearance. And when these thoughts and feelings become time-consuming and begin to take over your daily life — this is body dysmorphic disorder.
