I was also on lithium and it caused me to puke and the hospital said I was just faking it because I had actually been displaying bulimic behaviors before. Then the lithium caused me to throw up for real and no one believed me. They didn’t believe me about the bulimia either and said I was just faking it for attention. Now 14 years later I’m being told I do have an eating disorder and almost got sent IP and stuff and I’m kind of in denial about it because I’m still confused from what I was told as a teenager. Man did I get ****ed over when I was a teenager.

The only thing I took out of that experience is that when you ask for help, you won’t get it and you’ll be labeled an attention seeker. But if you don’t seek help but you show some behaviors they will think you have legit issues.

I didn’t want to bring it up at all with my last last therapist but I mentioned my weight loss from getting off meds, during our second or 3rd session and she read a lot into it then it kind of got out of control, but I swear it was on her part.
