Hey all.
Im just wondering what the doctors will do for me.
I have a eating disorder well thats not been said by a doctor but by people like yourselfs on sites and through searching and doing tests and all that.
I hardly eat but when i do i make myself sick.

Isit worth going up there,and how will they know if i do have a Ed?

there are a lot of things that go into deciding whether of not someone has an ed. mental state, physical state, symptoms, etc. describe your situation and your doctor will be able to make a good diagnosis. he/she will probably set you up with a therapist and/or nutritionist and will most likely want to put you on some sort of meds if you're depressed or anxious.
and YES, it's worth the trip
