How can I tell my therapist that I think I have an eating disorder?

If you have personal experience, please share if you're okay with it.
I'm scared to but I know I need to bring it up to her. I'm scared she'll want me to keep a food log and I can't. What if she says I should see a dietician or nutritionist?

so basically you want to tell her but you're afraid she might offer solutions and help you get better. I think you already know what you got to do.

I have an eating disorder. I just told my therapist I struggled with body Image and that it’s effected my eating patterns. From there she will ask what you have been eating and what you mean by it. If you can’t keep a food log what they do is just ask you what you eat in an average day and you then have weigh inns and therapy to help you feel better about your body. Sometimes they refer you to a dietitian that will tell you how to eat healthy

They’re looking out for your best interest so I feel like you should bring it up regardless. Reaching out is the necessary step you need to take to get better

Do you want help or don’t you? No therapy in the world will work if you are not willing to help yourself.

The fact that you even want to tell her and want to get it under control is a good step forward. Keep that conviction in your mind. I suggest just spilling it out as soon as you next see them before you have time to think too much about it.

At the end of the day... no one can really make you do what you don’t really want to do. (I can’t help anymore then that sorry 😔🤷🏽‍♂️)

@Curiousguy833 I see her tomorrow. I'm afraid but now that it is another holiday the binging is getting to be really bad.

Don't I never do even though I skip meals and take a waight loss supplement

@Vgore0304 I don't have any weight loss supplements. Just one small bottle of laxatives.

I don't but I bet she/he will ask you WHY and bla bla bla
fluteacorn · 22-25, F
@revenant She would probably already have a general idea of why I fast then binge then sometimes purge.
