What does she mean?

My ED psych said to me the other day I look flat, what does she mean?

Well, I'm pretty sure none of us are mind-readers, so it would be better if you asked her.

As for what "flat" means to me...I would say that it means that you have less personality, less well-rounded (mentally-wise). Most people with EDs become "flat" as their brain can no longer process more than exhaustion and pain.

Lapetitmoi is probably right, but you could also take it as you're too thin and are no longer seen in 3 dimentions. Or....if you're "flat" like me, you might assume they were talking about your chest!

Someone told me I was flat when I was really depressed and stuff...showing no emotion...I think

I think it means all of the above. But you should really ask your therapist.

I agree. Maybe you should just think about your reactions to things - Are they what you'd normally do or do you let things slide? You could probably tell if you really thought about it.

Maybe she meant that you look like you've checked out emotionally. My therapist calls me on that all the time when things get too painful I just "go away" XO

I think it means you have no boobs. But maybe she didn't mean physically.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
