Can I still have body dysmorphia if it doesn’t affect me leaving the house?

Question

Like I will still go places I need to but of course I have the thought in my mind that I am ugly and unattractive constantly in my mind even when I do go out. It still affects my relationship I am extremely insecure and I have trouble accepting compliments from my boyfriend or other people. I also am constantly thinking about my appearance and checking mirrors and photos. Does that still mean I do have body dysmorphia? My therapist said I meet the criteria
