No. I would think that should have drawn your doctor's attention. Did you tell your doctor that you were seeking help for an eating disorder? I think a good doctor would have asked you this question but if you need the help you should ask for it. Best to you.

I wonder sometimes whether Drs in the UK have special training to block out any understanding of eating disorders. If you feel you don't have a raport with her you must ask for an appointment with another Dr. From your journal entries it looks like you're not doing well at the moment. You need some help, you're entitled to it. Don't feel like you're a burden to the NHS.
And breathe ... relaX ... make an appointment!!!!:)

Funny thing is that my psychiatrist is a British chap, and he doesn't really "hear" me either when I tell him CLEARLY how bad the behaviors are are! (He relies HEAVILY on the scale to assess my "needs.")

So what DID your doctor do or say? Did he/she at least order some blood & urine tests? What you've been doing is so dangerous, and I commend your honesty with your doctor, but if he/she doesn't "do anything," I would suggest it's time to seek the assisstance of a DIFFERENT health-care provider....STAT!

Juice is right: you are entitled to some help. Please don't give up.

It's not normal and I think your doctor is a danger to the public. If he doesn't care then you might think you're doing just fine. Which you are definitely not. Get another doctor please as fast as you can.

no

NO. Find another doctor right away- one who specialises in EDs, preferrably. This ditz of a doctor that you have now may think this is just a little phase and shrug it off. DON'T allow her to do this, because you have a problem that requires medical attention NOW.

i agree with others here. is there someone else you can see? i dont see why they wouldn't take this seriously.

Thanks guys. ive had loads of test done this week but they all come back to say im fine! so maybe i am and i and others are just being paranoid. im meeting with a friend next week to disscuss it coz she says we need to talk so i guess see what happens

The sad thing is that just because our tests often come back all in the normal range, it doesn't mean things aren't serious. I've heard of so many sufferers who've passed away suddenly in the middle of the night after being told everything was OK medically.

That happened to me once, I told the urgent care doctor that I had sharp pains on my right side, and that I was bulimic and thought that I might be severely dehydrated because I had been abusing laxatives, and not eating. He ended up giving me medicine that would make me even more dehydrated, some doctors don't seem to care, but you know as well as I do that this isn't normal or healthy, go to another doctor.
