I was diagnosed with body dysmorphia, is it possible?

[Anonymous]

Hi so I’ve been feeling very ugly lately, I avoid going out because of it, I avoid seeing any people on the street because im scared of being judged, go the other way even if its longer just so nobody would see me, I started wearing fake glasses just so nobody could see myface , if i could i would wear sunglasses even, I get so depressed every time I go out, I avoid looking at people at all and try to hide my face as much as possible. Still I was diagnosed with body dysmorphia. I don’t know who to believe, what do I actually look like? I feel like they are lying to me because when I look in the mirror I see one of the ugliest creatures I have ever encountered in my life and because I was diagnosed with body dysmorphia I dont know if im actually ugly or not.

Many of us have low opinions of our selves, which means we are better than we think.. I can't totally relate but I spent the vast part of my life calling myself ugly and no one liking me. I still find it hard to accept if some one says something nice about me.

I don't obviously know you but I suspect you are better than you think you are!

You are more than likely beautiful but your Dysmorphia won't let you if people around say you are then you can believe them if you are not sure then put a picture of you here and ask everyone how you look
