Body Dysmorphia

My problem.

Body Dysmorphia consumed a large portion of my childhood. And adulthood I guess. I also clearly have some kind of dissociative disorder. I feel largely removed from my own body. As I see it, I'm electricity, trapped in a meat prison, trapped in a nitrogen/gravity bubble, trapped in a vacuum, trapped in a space/time fabric. Have I said this one yet? I can never remember which thoughts I wrote down.

body dysmorphic disorder

A psychiatric condition in which the affected person suffers from a flawed perception that views some part of the body or physical feature to be defective or unsightly although an objective observer would not share said opinion. While some people assume that female breasts are disproportionately the feature in question, in fact persons with body dysmorphic disorder tend to report dissatisfaction with facial features most frequently.

Body dysmorphic disorder is categorized as one of the Somatoform Disorders by the American Psychiatric Association.

Madeline suffered from body dysmorphic disorder: she thought her cute Gallic nose was an unsightly and grotesquely large beak.

Body dysmorphic disorder

Mental disorder that makes you unable to look in a mirror without thinking how worthless and ugly you are. At one point you probably won't leave the house in order to avoid all the beautiful people and possible reflections of your imperfections

reversal body dismorphic disorder

This has to be credited to Gimme, Gimme Gimme (BBC2 or 1), but proves be such a useful put down!!! Body Dismorphic Disorder (BDD) is, commonly, where a beautiful person looks in the mirror and sees a minger, swap donkey, bush pig staring back at them. Well, Reveral Body Dismorphic Disorder is where a hideously unattractive, usually overweight girl with particularly bad skin (it's my glands you see, nothing to do with the 18 Big Macs and 10 bars of family sized Galaxy I eat a day)looks into the mirror, and instead of seeing the bloated blob before her, sees a combined image of Catherine Zeta Jones and Angelina Jolie - therefore believing herself to be the epitome of beauty!!! Hence - Reversal Body Dismorphic Disorder

"Doctor, is it serious? I'm going to be on the front cover of Nuts, and can't keep the photographer waiting!!!"

"Well, you're five stone over weight and got skin like a pizza. I diagnose a severe case of Reversal Body Dismorphic Disorder. Fetch Gillian McKeith, nurse!"
