Triggering (ED) - How do i tell my psychiatrist?

[shellz1986]

Well i am seeing my psych tomorrow it has been about two months since our last meeting.

Since then i have started to struggle a lot with food and weight issues which i expressed to my gp last week and got a poor response.

Thing is, i have no idea how to go about telling my psych the complex and embarrasing reasons behind it.

Any advice?

I find writing things down helps a lot. It can sort out what you want to say, and if you bring it with you you wont forget anything. You could even show it to your psychiatrist to make things go easier.

And tell him you find it difficult expressing how you feel, he'll understand.

at the end of the day it is better that they know than not, only positive things can come of it.... i know its really hard, but they need to know so they can give you the right support.

and probably what you think is really embarrassing, they wont think anything of it. they hear all kinds of things, so just try your best, thats all you can do hun.

maybe write her a letter to explain your feelings then you dont physically have to say it

good luck, let us know how it goes xxxx
