I'm very very skeptical. I don't see how it's really going to help, I think it will be focused on encouraging me to gain weight

When you get quiet with yourself and you can imagine what would help you . What would that be?

(I tried telling the nurse in my assessment that there is "something else" like maybe borderline but she wouldn't listen.. they see a low weight and just see anorexia and a need to gain weight... she really thought it would all go away when I gained weight).

It's not a nurses position to say anything about a diagnosis. You can always adress it with your therapist. Pursue what the diagnosis is and if you really have it and how treatment for it would help your anorexia.

I guess I just want to hear your guys experiences with therapy. Does it help??? What do they focus on?

My first therapist could do nothing to help me with food . I was the sole person who knew what I did when and could figure out why.
What he did help me with was unlock the key to my abusive past and that gave me a reason (placebo or not) to finally stop . It dovetailed with being honest.

So I don't need 'help' with that.... I'm just scared that it'll "come back" again so I want to work on my confidence, self esteem... I don't know what else. I know she's just going to harp on about weight and food, though.

There you go . you got your answer ! It's usually the emotions and view of the self that underline a slip or return . Control , competition , not letting anyone else define you . And if someone doesn't like you rejects you or judges you, to be able to not have that effect you.
Lace up those skates !
