I think it might be. I experienced something very similiar- just not being able to know how I actually looked when I looked in the mirror- in the few months after the rupture with my T. At first, I thought my eyes needed checking- they were fine-- then I realized that it was related to the tremendous anxiety I felt about being rejected. I could see that my hair was combed, and that I had put lip=gloss on- but it didn't add up to a whole me that I was familiar with. It's gradually disappeared now that I have formed a supportive relationship with the new T. Is there something happening in your life, or in your therapy, which is increasing your anxiety by a major amount? Even if you aren't sure, you could tell your T. about this, and ask for extra support while you try to find out what's happening.
