So, I Found Some Old Pictures. Have I Had Bdd For Over A Year?

[alekgn]

So, I looked through a photo gallery that I had accumulated full of hairline/hair pictures, and found these from about 2 years ago, when I was 16. Note, I hadn't began a religious collection of them until 17. Note these aren't my most flattering pictures; I had bad moderate acne attacks all throughout my mid-teens. Anyway, here are some pictures I found of my hair when I was 16, mainly of the hairline region:

And here are a couple of picutres I took today, at 18:

Now, accounting for the fact that I'm more clearly trying to expose my hairline in the later pictures, has anything changed, over those 2 years? If you're wondering about diffuse or crown thinning, I don't see any evidence of either. The only thing I've done is change around my hair products for much better ones in those 2 years. I only became hyper-aware about 1 year ago. I know the quality of both pictures is terrible and blurry, but fairly similar nonetheless

P.S.: Why do I look like an entirely different person? Lol.

I do not see any difference.

As one gets older you eventually must learn to let looks go a bit. Life is a cruel master to us all and in the end--we are behind our face and body. We are not our face and body.

Your hairline looks identical mate. I 100% agree with retinoid, you will have to come to terms with things slightly changing as you get older.

I was diagnosed with BDD at 15 and currently at 23 have made a vast improvement and is only a shadow of what it once was. I tell you this because I understand the frustration of BDD and how horrible it is but I bring you light that it does and can improve if you act on helping yourself.
