> It sounds like I may have something. My friend thinks I am obsessed with my body. That was helpful, thanks, I should mention it to my T, gradually over the last few years my concern over it has been growing and I do not think I am delusional so it is hard for me when others imply or say otherwise which is what she was doing. I see myself in the mirror, I am not blind, the mirror is not distorted, it's really confusing.
>No, honey, the mirror is not distorted, and I'm sure you're not blind. That doesn't mean what you see in the mirror is not distorted.
What sort of concern are you talking about, by the way? Is it about a specific part of your body, or about your body as a whole? Is it related to your weight? If so, it's worth talking to your T about body image issues.
There is also a book called "The Body Image Workbook," which is very helpful. There are eight exercises in it, and they are very helpful. I recommend it.
