Does anyone have any helpful ways to counter negative thoughts, especially relating to BDD? I’ve been getting therapy for other disorders for over ten years but my BDD is so severe I am in no way able to even breach the topic. I can’t wear my hair up, even look out windows without full makeup on invade someone sees me and I haven’t taken a picture of myself in over five years. Even if therapy focusing on it is beyond me I just want to do something productive to at least challenge my thoughts. Knowing I will never be in a relationship in my life because I can’t deal with people looking at me is depressing and feeling genuinely deformed, not really knowing what I actually look like to others is torture so i would appreciate any tips. Christ it’s frustrating because I know my BDD is the real reason behind me developing every disorder I’ve been diagnosed with but I’m unable to tell my therapist and they can’t help me improve without understanding what’s really going on. So I know that dealing with my BDD is what’s really needed I guess. I’d appreciate any and all ideas, thanks
