HOW TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE BDD 🌊

body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a condition where you spend excessive time worrying about flaws in your appearance / feeling uncomfortable with your body.

i'm not trying to diagnose anyone; but i experienced ALL of these symptoms for ~1 year, before i finally realized i have BDD. weirdly, it felt COMFORTING to finally know that i wasn't going crazy - i was simply experiencing a mental health crisis & remember that bdd is absolutely NOT YOUR FAULT!

after knowing what was wrong (so to speak), i could focus on solutions to recovery 🌸
