Get over it?

[allocdParticipant]

My bdd started years ago but I won’t acknowledge it and I try not to label it as I’m not completely sure it honestly is bdd, maybe its just anxiety. I know it is extremely bad for people with bdd to ruminate about it, I just don’t know what’s holding me back from getting help or should I just get over it myself?
