If your T has diagnosed you with anorexia maybe she would be willing to contact your doctor to let him or her know what is going on--with your permission of course. I would think that therapists and doctors often need to consult in order to provide the best care to their patients. If my T diagnoses me with an ED and wants me to go to my doctor for a physical or more tests, I will have to see if she will contact my doctor to explain. It was hard enough for me to bring up my eating problem to my T because I had never talked with anyone about it for the 15+ years I have struggled--and I don't feel ready to talk about it again right now with anyone else.
