BDD is a preoccupation with a perceived physical deformity or overall appearance. Whether the deformity exists or not, the disorder is in the mental preoccupation/obsession, not the physical reality.
Yes you do have BDD. I can relate to everything you said and I have BDD too. It sucks, and I'm sorry for both of us, but we have to keep moving forward. We have to gradually accept that our perceptions are not consistent with others' or reality, and actively reject them in favor of more favorable, realistic perceptions of ourselves. That's what therapy is great for.
You sound stressed. Stress increases the obsessions, which in turn increase the stress. Try to reduce your stress by doing physical activities and keeping busy. Never accept your negative self-view as reality. Always remember that with BDD, you have a negative bias toward yourself. It's not a bias based in reality, it's only in you and it can be fixed and you can live a happy life. Don't ever give up hope. You are beautiful.
