I think I'm going to stop reading my messages today.

So I sent my doctor a message asking if he thought meal replacement drinks would help me right now.

He replied why do you feel you need them

I replied well I feel like my eating disorder is getting out of control again and they might help me.

His reply you have an eating disorder

I've been seeing you for a year, you put me in the hospital for it last year.

His reply son honestly you have some many issues I can't remember all them. Sure give it a try can't hurt anything

So it might be time for yet another doctor

Yeah my sister has had many issues with doctors being blatantly rude, or not even knowing why she's there seeing them. 😐 It's like do you look in a patient chart before going in the room??? I'm sorry you've also dealt with it.
I do hope the shakes can help even a bit🌷

@Coralmist I'm sorry your sister had to deal with that herself. It's always been hard for me to find a doctor. My outbursts get bad in appointment and I know they just want me out of there as soon as possible

This is why I stopped going to therapy. Where's the empathy, compassion, and understanding? The support and guidance? They're horrible. I had one great therapist, but they died from COVID. The rest have been horrible; it's like they're in it for the pay, not to actually help people. Do they not realize the strength it takes to ask for help, and how being treated poorly makes it worse? I'm so sorry you're going through this.

@MyMonstersAreReal thank you it's been a struggle for me my whole life to find a doctor or therapist that cares and listens. I do have a really good therapist right now thank goodness.

@Cigarguy101 therapist suggestion is because you sound emotionally needy, not what a MD wants to have to deal with. just expressing the way i see it from my point of view not trying to offend you at all. youre question to your doctor is perfectly valid just the way my doctors office is you need an appointment for discussions.

@Penny well we'll just agree to disagree on this. Enjoy your night

@Cigarguy101 ty. you too, and well im not a doctor and i dont know your situation but if youre not eating well i think meal replacement shakes are a great idea. (but watch out for ones with sucralose in them. sucralose gives me leaky gut)

@SomeMichGuy I don't know. I don't think he likes treating me so I'll just make it easier for him.
