Possible BDD??

So, I realized today that I might have BDD, but I of course don't want to self diagnose. I Do have BPD & OCD, I was reading that it can be comorbid with OCD. I have times where I look in the mirror and I don't feel like i'm seeing what others are. This morning I was looking at photos of myself and for whatever reason my face looked very different from what I think I look like. I usually avoid mirrors if I can, mostly with my face though. Is facial dysmorphia a thing? How does one work through this kind of thing?
