Do I have Body Dysmorphia or am I just insecure?

So I'm a teen and have OCD and eating disorders, and according to online tests (not sure how accurate) I also have anxiety and depression. So I've been wondering if these things are "normal" ways to handle insecurities or signs of Body Dysmorphia? I try to avoid mirrors but when I see one I HAVE to stand there, fix my hair, expression, pinch my skin, until I look good enough before I walk off. I also get a new insecurity every day. Or like they constantly change. It's not like people say "Oh, I've been insecure about my nose all my life" but three months ago I was insecure about my nose, then the focus shifted on my eyes, then brows, then height, then hands (I know who tf cares about hands?!) and all of these things constantly worry me. I keep asking people if I look okay, if x looks weird, and I keep asking AI or searching face analysises to see if my face harmony and features are good. I spend SO MUCH time on this. Like minimum 2 hours of my day worrying about how I look. It's exhausting.

So, I've been hearing this frequently and I always thought it was weird, considering a lot of girls get their period around age 12, others even in elementary and while I have seen women that are relatively short, I've never seen them THAT short. It never made sense to me why a lot of websites say this.
