He told me to just "pick up a fork and eat!" I was so pissed. I told him that it was easier said than done and he said that he could "show me" how its done. I hate when people say things like that or think that its automatically easy to get rid of eating issues. Ugh! I felt like he was judging me and I do enough judging of myself... I don't need his crap either!
He needs to go back to training because any trained nurse dealing with people with psychological issues cannot be that insensitive to other peoples problems. I don't have an eating disorder, but I know how it feels for someone to be so insensitive to something so serious.
Thanks for this!
