It's scray to get a diagnosis, but at least now something can be done. I was diagnosed with bulimia recently too, so can understand the fear a little.


How do you feel about the diagnosis?

Hey,

It is scary to accept a diagnosis like this, but in reality nothing has changed - you are still you, with your own unique problems with food. Having a label just means that other people can understand your problems and that you can get the help you need in learning to change your behaviour. So it's actually a very positive thing!
Good luck in getting help. It will be scary and hard, but it is worth it.
Take care.

I know it is scary hun but at least now you can get the help you both deserve and need *cuddles* xx

Getting a diagnosis like that is tough :(. My ED isn't diagnosed, but I freaked out when I was diagnosed with major depression and whatnot. I knew something was wrong with me, but to hear it from somebody else was scary. Although it's really hard, I hope this can help you!

I hope you're doing alright :) Send a message if you need to talk

*hugs and love*

thanks everyone just waiting to see my dr on fri and i guess i will know more from there

i had blood tests taken on friday i have to wait until the 10th of march 2 get the results im so scarred

Don't be scared hun. The doctors are there to help you, not make you feel worse about yourself.
I remember when came to a realisation that what I have is bulimia; I stayed in a state of shock for ages. (I wasn't officially "diagnosed" until about 1 1/2 years after that, so I didn't quite have that same experience). But getting a diagnosis always feels weird. You'll adjust to it, I promise. Meanwhile, let them help you, try not to resist it.

what will they do if they blood tests results dont come back normal like if i have low iron and stuff do u know? when i went to see the dr on fri she took my blood pressure and said the reason why i am dizzy is because when i stand up my blood pressure drops :(

They'll try to do what they can to get your bloods back to normal. They might recommend supplements or something, or recommend that you try and eat more of X or Y food to help the levels.
They're not going to try and force you into anything if you're not ready for it, don't worry. If you are ready for help with it though, do accept it.

i was scarred as well but the symptoms became 2 bad :( i am feeling really sick and dizzy 2day but dont have a drs appt til next thurs i hope i can make it i have to work 15hrs 2morrow and im scarred im going to faint but thats the risk that i have to take i guess i have been refered to the eating disorders unit at the royal melbourne hospital now just waiting for an appt

i am scarred :(

What's wrong today hun?

im sick and sick of feeling this way im vomiting at work which isnt a good thing to do but i dont know how 2 get out of this mess :( i only just make it through everyday i go 2 work and then i have 2 come home and go 2 bed because i am tired

I know that it's scary, but at least now you can get help. Best of luck!!

thanks :)

Thinking of you and good luck.i do hope the bloods come back alright and the appointment goes ok.im sorry things have been so hard.Please be honest with the doctor about how much you are struggling right now.xx xx
