For the past 3 years , more specifically this year, i seem to be unable to look at my self in the mirror. I am an 18 year old, white male, who plays tennis. I eat regular meals, and attend high school, i do not do drugs or drink alcohol.
However the problem is that whenever i look at myself in the mirror i cant help but to view my self in an negative light. more specifically i get feelings of depression, low self esteem, and low self worth. I get angry when i see my fends whom in my eyes appear quight normal. Though these feelings only manifest after looking at my reflection or thinking about it. Otherwise i feel fine. I have done some investigation in the DSM-V for any symptoms that would be close, but all i can find is general depression which i know i don't have.
What im wondering is if this could be a disorder, due to its chronic nature or just being a teenager. I don't know if anyone can help, however simply putting it out here does give some reprieve.
