Triggering (SI/ED) - ARGH

Duffer44 · 31-07-2009, 10:33 AM

Ok i would post this in the ED boards but i'm not overly keen in there.

Just when i thought everything was going ok with my help plan i have 4 people in place to help me well it will be 4 when i get the appointment through to see my new shrink. I have a shrink my CMHT and my Dr i saw two yesterday and my Dr just now my shrink and my CMHT think i am doing really well with my meds and stuff, which made me happy that things are working.

I went to see my Dr today to get my prescription and boy was i shocked, he thinks i am abusing my meds which i am not he moaned because i hadn't been in to see him a month which is when he booked me to see him he then said i am miles over weight and decided to weight me saying i had put on a load since january. I'm out of work so i am less active. He said i should use my unemployment as an excuse to exercise. so he asked me what i eat and i explained how i will over eat when i get depressed or treat myself when i'm happy and eat because i can't stop. He stopped me and said there is no such thing as an COED which i never even mentioned he said your over weight because you don't exercise enough and eat to much and you are the only person who can control what you eat not an illness so i said what about normal ED where people don't eat he said they can't control that so i said can't it swing the other way people can't control over eating which he replied NO don't be stupid.

I just want to eat a load of crappy food and cut if it is all just in my head and i'm being stupid what is the point of even seeing him. If it was as simple as changing Dr i would but i have seen them all in that place and he's the best of the lot ><

Could you get your CMHT or psych to speak to him & explain? Sadly sometimes Drs listen more to other professionals than their patients...

Try not to let his stupid comments set you back. Congratulations on doing so well, and be proud of yourself for what you're achieved.

That wasnt very professional of him. I agree with speaking to your psych about it and maybe getting them to speak to him. Your weight shouldnt matter to him if your in there for a mental health check up. Ignore him an talk to your psych.

I agree with the above advice just wanted to add I was stunned at how he treated you. Very unprofessional and just plain rude and ignorant!

Thank-you all i will talk to my psych about it i just won't be able to see him until October as he's on holiday and fully booked. So i will have a word with CMHT who i see every two weeks.

I could send Georgie and her ninja's to take him down fo ryou....

Jess do it.

I hate writting letters so that won't be happening, however if he is like it again i will be complaining.

Hey Duff,
I hear you about you hating to have to write letters me too, you have every right to stand up for yourself and ensure your treated like a human being. As i well know many of these professionals treat us really badly , ive had quite a few psychiatrists and nurses treat me teribbly and say some horrible things to me. Its such a battle for you and i and everyone else here to be strong and stand up for ourselves and complain when we need to as we are expending enough energy already on beating our illnesses.

My current psych said some discusting things to me before he ended the session, i hate writing letters mate especially when my depression cripples me but im gona write a letter of complaint to the NHS, one because of the way he treated me and one to try and get further therapy which my psych is refusing .

I hear you about not writing a letter right now, but yes if he says anything else to upset you , i hope you can and do manage to write one.

Hang in there Duffman

Dave

Dave i am going to speak to my CMHT nurse next week as he's on holiday and i don't have to see my Dr toll the end of the month. If he is still the same i will then write a letter to the NHS to raise my issues. I need to stick up for myself in my treatment which yo be honest i thought i couldn't do.

Daryl I love you to man and thank-you :)
