But to you, your appearance seems so shameful that you don't want to be seen by anyone. Body dysmorphic disorder has sometimes been called "imagined ugliness." When you have body dysmorphic disorder, you intensely obsess over your appearance and body image, often for many hours a day. You may seek out numerous cosmetic procedures to try to "fix" your perceived flaws, but never will be satisfied. Body dysmorphic disorder is also known as dysmorphophobia, the fear of having a deformity. Treatment of body dysmorphic disorder may include medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. What you described sounds to me like anorexia, tho I'm not sure if the 2 are mutually exclusive. In any case BDD relates in an extreme manner to self consciousness with one's appearance. For anorexia, classic factors are Moon to Saturn/Pluto, other afflictions to Saturn/Pluto. Reason being that Saturn/Pluto relate to control, Moon relates to nourishment as well as emotional response. Controlling intake of food then controls the emotional response to the environment as a way to gain control of one's circumstances, as one manifestation of a Saturn and/or Pluto to Moon aspect. Venus afflicted to Saturn/Pluto can indicate similar, but if it does then in that case it would be strict standards for one's appearance with Saturn, and obsession with Pluto. Maybe ASC/H4/H6 ruler afflicted to Saturn/Pluto as well. The more factors you have that add up to it in astrology, the more likely the case that it will manifest. For example, one interp of Venus in Gemini is for being attracted to younger people. John Wayne Gacy seems to have primarily attacked young men, he has Venus in the 3rd (a Venus/Gemini dynamic), but he has a whole host of other Gemini/Venus/Mars attraction factors there as well, along with those that point to his sick mental state, etc. So not one will be the answer, but many repeats on a theme.

I think I have bdd too though...and that is either the underlying cause for my current depression and i've been repressing it, because I feel like a monstrousity but people tell me i'm hansom... I'm not fisihing for compliments here or support...just saying i think for me it's loaded up hardcore because I am extremely intense... like I didn't say before, I used to look in teh mirro and grasp my bones and thin kof where I would put them if I could break them and replace them...pretty insane...huh? I know i'm not psychopath though because I pass out when I see movies where children or mothers are blown up or killed...so I have acute empathy, and I also feel other people's pain to the point of losing myself... but the point is...I Think it has to do with the gift of saturn, which is criticalness, being at odds with venus...chiron, mars and conjunct ixion.... for some reason taht's what my gut tells me... otherwise i have saturn trine moon and what you said about eating rings a total bell, as when I Did starve myself I was able to control every situation as being thinner than others, not just your mother, gives you some sort of unseen power that I Felt...it was addicting to say the least...but even my track coach asked my parents if i was anorexic... saturn in the sixth with a trine to moon..sextile to jupiter in capricorn...and a square to mars and venus...and opposite chiron... and an afflicted mercury in sagitarius conjunct uranus...i think my analysis of myself is disturbed by these aspets...that mercury is square my moon....

I can relate to a certain extent, when I feel unwell over something I starve myself as I attempt psychologically to put things in place so that I'm at a point where I can deal with it again. It's like a safe holding place for me while I'm regrouping. IP: Logged
