So - I just need to work something out before my next session with my T. I have something that I think I should probably talk to her about, but I'm not sure how to bring it up or even if I really should. My T is an ED specialist, but that's not why I chose her. She's also really, really good with anxiety issues and we just click really well and I've made more progress than with any other T. That said, I do have some eating issues, and it was in the back of my head when I selected her as my T. We've talked briefly about my history of eating issues, and it still crops up from time to time, especially when I'm feeling particularly anxious.

My eating issues are not something I would consider severe, but I've noticed some patterns that I'd like to talk to her about. I feel kinda stupid bringing it up, though, because, like I said, it's mostly under control and not a serious issue. I kinda brought it up right at the end of our last session, but I'd already had one panic attack during our session and I didn't want to have another! So, I just mentioned it right at the end of the session, literally as I was walking out. I think that probably annoyed T a bit. I know she's a little concerned about my eating habits, but it's not something she presses, except to make sure that when my anxiety is high, that I'm still eating.

Without going in to detail, I've noticed certain urges related to food and eating, that I struggle not to follow through on. I'm not sure what's behind those urges. I can mostly resist them...the more anxious I am, the harder it is to resist...but I'm bothered by the fact that I feel these urges. I want to talk to T about it, but at the same time, I'm not usually following those urges, and I can control them (most of the time), so I'm not sure it's worth talking about. I just keep waffling on this...pat of me feels it's not serious enough to talk about; part of me keeps thinking about what my T has said to me in the past - it's better to talk about things early on, before they become an issue.

I'm open to feedback...I'm just trying to work out in my head how to bring it up and if to even do so.
