Well, what do you do when people at work make fun of you for losing weight so fast, your supervisor asks if you are going to be on disability but u can't b/c u can't drive to the treatment center an hour away b/c you're too sick & dizzy to drive and u're afraid to tell her that, and your shrink just tells you to keep coming back and does nothing to help you?? And you don't want to be helped anyway b/c you have more weight to lose??

I won't agree to being an inpatient and I can't be forced b/c i'm not underweight, so that's not an option, either. The only thing I can see to do is just drop the useless shrink b/c he frustrates me more (although I don't know what I want him to do exactly) and keep working and hope that everybody just shuts up eventually. I know I look kind-of bad, though (pale, dark circles, a bit too small for my frame), and I overslept for work a couple of times (but haven't since).

Any ideas??

Oh honey. Crying
or Very sad u need to accept the help thats being offered to u and I think deep down u know this. Maybe ur looking for a confirmation or something I dunno I wish they did force u cos it seems like thats the only way to get u better.
Dont u want to be healthy? Dont u want to look & feel good? Dont u think its finally time to let go of everything thats pulling u back? I no I sound like a preacher out to convince u of seeing the light or watever but u know wat ur doing and I think u secretly want help but u just dont know how to ask for it

Hey, i've read your your last post aswell. This is what I think, that if possible maybe you can take public transit to the treatment center such as a train or bus, this way you don't have to drive and worry at the same time. If you do that you can relax your mind while going there. Next, I definitley think you should accept your therapists help and at least try out this outpatient or inpatient program, give it a shot what have you got to lose. I think that if you don't you can only get worse and will eventually have to go there or somewhere else anyway. If your therapist sucks find one that you can relate and open up too. It might take time but there's one out there for everyone. He/she is not forcing you to get help because ultimatley it is your desicion and even though he really wants you too, it is not his place but guaranteed he cares. Thats why he's in that field. Y
