Need Help. Very stressed.

LadyMorticia

I'm sorry to bump this thread but people wanted to know how I am so here I am.lol.

I managed to go to the doctor and it's a good job I did because she's worried about me etc and my BMI is in the anorexic range agaian but I haven't been diagnosed with it again "officially" because I haven't lost 3 periods in a row yet but the doctor said that she and I both know it's come back again but she can't formally diagnose me yet.
I also got diagnosed with depression and agoraphobia (which I knew I had anyway but I feel better that it's confirmed).
My doctor referred me back to the mental health team for assessment and said that I may have to go into hospital again if my weight gets any lower. I have my assesment today but it's with my old CPN (she changed jobs and is now a mental health link worker or something along those lines). We don't really see eye to eye. She discharged me when I felt I wasn't ready to be discharged. Oh well. Hopefully it will be ok.

I'm with a new doctor now and she's really nice and doesn't make me feel stupid. I have to see her every week. My friend comes and helps me to get out of the house.

Benefits wise, everything is going ok at the moment. My doctor wrote a covering letter about my mental health.

Anywho, just thought I'd post to let everyone know how things are.

Much love.

Glad to hear you sounding so positive! You should be really proud of yourself for managing to get all that sorted-it isn't easy with the problems you are facing.

It sounds like you have a good GP there and that makes such a difference.

Well done and you know where we are!!!

Love cl. xxx

LM,

That's really good news. You must be relieved to have the doctor on your side and the benefits sorted.

I'm sorry to hear about you weight, but hopefully now you've got the support there things will start to improve.

Thank you for taking the time to update us - a few of us were very worried about you!

Take care

The mental health assessment didn't go as badly as I thought it would, although I still feel like I wasn't taken seriously but that's most likely just my BPD talking.

I have to get referred to the Eating Disorders team so hopefully that will help and I have to go to MIND twice a week and still see the doctor once a week.

I think everyone is trying to get me out the house.lol.
Hopefully when the warmer weather gets here I'll feel a bit better. The cold weather doesn't help my agoraphobia.

Thank you for your support.

Much love.
