Stalemate and resources
For the last 9 months I have been under both the eating disorder service for anorexia and the mental health team for Bipolar disorder. It has come out that they have been talking with each other and my GP and the have decided I am at a stalemate and that something needs to change. Now I don't know what that means for me?
*Sorry apparently this is going to be longer than I planned*
With regards to the eating disorder I will agree I have reached a stalemate. I am now weight restored (thanks to a increase appetite when on the Olanzapine which I am no longer on) but my relationship with food is worse than ever. I am either restricting or ( as learnt whilst on the Olanzapine) b/ping. I no longer feel like I can even attempt a meal plan as I am so uncomfortable with my body that gaining any more weight by eating normally is unthinkable. So I am stuck. But now I am scared they are going to discharge me as I can't see what else they are going to do.
My Psychiatrist want to see me to discuss changing all the resources I am currently using including the eating disorder team. Admittedly the only time I see anyone on the MH team is either for a med change/review or once a month I see my CPN. What other resources do the mental heath team have? I am about to try some new meds but thats it.
All my therapy is provided by the ED service ( psychologist, groups and dietician) and is as intensive as they can provide. I don't know how I will cope if they take that away?
What resources could the Psychiatrist put me on? Is it likely to just be further therapy or I don't know?
