What's wrong with me?

Hi, I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and OCD. I'm not sure if this problem I'm about to describe is part of that or something different. The problem I have is that I can look in a mirror on two separate occasions and I appear to look different on those two occasions. For example, I have seen my legs in a mirror one day and thought 'oh god, my legs look so thin. I need to put weight on' (I'm very slim-a size 4-6). But literally the next day, I saw them again and to me my thighs looked fat and I just thought how I needed to lose weight. Logically, I know that my legs cannot have changed overnight, but it seems so real to me at the time.
Sometimes even my face will look different to me. What is wrong with me? This isn't normal is it?

hi bisley
i have this but its just my face that changes or i see another "me"
i tend to stay away from seeing my reflection- thankfully dont wear makeup ect.
sometimes it happens when looking through a window - it is disturbing.
i suffer with hallucinations anyway - i guess this is a type of hallucination .

psychiatrist assures me its just my tired mind playing tricks on me but sometimes im not so sure.

I haven't actually mentioned it to my psych yet, maybe I should? Confused
