I have dick dysmorphia

[davehead3]

Some of you need to calm down. Muscle dysmorphia (or bigorexia) is a recognized condition similar to anorexia. I suffered from this through high school. I couldn't meet a guy without comparing muscle size to him and worrying about who was stronger. Seeing muscular guys made me feel insecure, and I never felt comfortable taking my shirt off at a beach. My obsessive training messed up my left shoulder, and it affects me to this day. THAT'S muscle dysmorphia, not just going to the gym everyday.

I have this disorder and its not healthy. It makes you depressed and disgusted at what you see in the mirror and makes me lift all day. Even with a ac joint injury I would feel small and do shoulders and raises. Very stressful and uncomfortable. I wear sweatshirts even when im hot cause I feel scrawny. Im 6'4" 235 pounds with 8% bodyfat but I still feel tiny and envious of others who may not be in as good shape. It sucks.

I too have BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER/MUSCLE DYSMORPHIA-(BIGOREXIA). I was clinically diagnosed with it. It is a REAL MENTAL ILLNESS/DISORDER. Bodybuilding is not a mental disorder BUT again, BIGOREXIA IS. For me, in reality im 240lbs and have a decent build, BUT my BIGOREXIA makes me think that im a 140lb anorexic person. Having " dedication, commitment, desire, are NOT MENTAL DISORDERS either, AGAIN, BIGOREXIA IS.

@wardude155 That's a lame ass comment because my professor actually sent us all the link to this video and she uses it for her teachings and this is extremely unhealthy. You're probably the skinny dork

[wardude155]

so stupid i just cant even believe it i feel like a 12 year old made this video

[wardude155]

this video is the worst thing i have ever seen, some loser has TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS and im guessing its some sickly skinny dork who got beat up by a big fucker. Stop being jealous of people who have the will power and determination to become stonger and do what they can with their body. TAKE THIS BULLSHIT VIDEO OFF YOUTUBE NOBODY NEEDS PSYCHIATRIC HELP BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GET BIG!!!!!!!!!!
