i dont think that you can do anything except go to a doctor or hospital or this stage and would reccomend that you follow advice regarding having the blood test. Well done for telling your Psychologist but you really do need to follow the advice given now.
i know this isnt what you wanted to hear but its really important. What country are you in and how old are you?Then it may be easier for us to work out how likely it is that they can involve your parents.
But having said that regardless of whether they have to tell them or not i think you really need these tests/help and should consider it.It could be a matter or life or death.i dont want to scare you but just cos you had been feeling well doesnt mean you are.And it may mean they can do things to treat you or at the very least monitor you if you are not well and that again could prove essential.
Can you talk to your Psychologist about your fears regarding your parents finding out?Presumably he/she has not told them so far and will be able to understand your fears most likely and be able to re-assure you further.
im sorry - i know im saying all the things you dont want to hear but this is really important and im concerned about you.You should get out after any OD and your body has been under enormous strain.

Thanks for taking the time to reply :)
I'm in the UK and I've just turned 18, but with all the SI and stuff, I'm scared they'll tell my parents anyway. And if I wasn't fine, then they'd find out since I live at home. My psychologist said she won't tell my parents, and the doctors shouldn't either, but that doesn't mean they won't - she said it herself, it's at their discretion to decide if they have to.
I've got an appointment with my GP on Tuesday, and I'm not sure if my psychologist will have written to her by then, and if not I have no idea how I could possibly bring it up, the GPs at my surgery always like to keep appointments between 5 and 10 minutes, and I need to discuss other stuff too, and since mum made the appointment for me, she knows why I'm going and will expect me to have some sort of answers when I get home.
