Inkblot,

I agree with Em - call somebody, anybody ASAP. I know what you mean with wanting that "thin" feeling. I haven't been able to go to the gym the last few days due to illness and I'm getting really, really antsy. I think today I am going to direct this antsyness at cleaning my house (we have guests coming for dinner and the place looks like a bomb hit it...LOL). However, doing harmful things to yourself to get that thin feeling is a sign of trouble. If that means calling your child's T, go right ahead. I'm sure that she wouldn't mind hearing from you - it's very rare that you will have a child in therapy without the parents having some issues of their own, so I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time she's heard from a parent. I understand what you mean with the non-confrontation, though. Shoot, I have a hard time calling out sick from work when I am really sick because I think my boss will yell at me or think I'm faking. I prefer to leave a voicemail or an email because then it's not "me" telling her, it's "me" through the help of some device. I think you know and I know that no one is going to yell or scream or accuse us of faking, though. Your T is there to help you feel better, not judge you.

Try calling some of those numbers and see how it goes, ok?
