Advice? That's easy -- working with a good therapist can help you get to the bottom of this, and work on getting over it. So, my advice is therapy...
It sounds to me as though it's likely related to your restricted eating. That does tend to go along with obsessionality, especially since you're obsessing about your self -- your body, how others see you, etc. Those are common things in EDs.
So, therapy, and yes -- there are medications that can help. SSRIs can help, and sometimes meds like Seroquel or even Zyprexa (in low doses) are used. But your own psychopharmacologist is the best person to decide what's most likely to help you.
I hope that helps.
