Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing this to help others!

This tore me up, it is liberating to know its a mental disorder although it tries to persistently convince you otherwise...

Nice to put a voice to the book. Any I recommend buying her book Fred in the refrigerator. Great help and inspiration on suffering with ocd

It went away on its own? Are you sure it was bdd? I've had severe bdd for around 30 years, it's not going anywhere on its own and travels from one body part to another. It sounds like you had relatively temporary body dissatisfaction. How many hours a day did this consume for you?
