Put simply i'm afraid I have body dysmorphia, BUT i'm also afraid that i've looked up so much about it, that i've just imagined I have the symptoms. I don't want to go to a doctor (which I know is really silly) but i'm so afraid they might say I don't have it in which case...i'm just kinda ugly...

I have suffered in silence my whole life putting on a happy face but inside I feel totally out of control because my whole life is ruled and decided by my total terror and fear of hearing loss and anything to even do with my ears!! Every second I am thinking about them and if I stop or a little bit I totally freak out because I'm afraid not think
