I have an eating disorder and am seeing a specialist for it. I am overweight and struggling to get control of my eating. The strangest thing happened to me the other day and I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I told my therapist about it but she didn't really comment on it, just asked how long the feeling lasted (about 10 minutes). I am very unassertive and shy in therapy so I didn't ask her about it. It kind of hurts my feelings that she didn't ask more about it because it was important to me. Anyway here's what happened...
I was in my car and looked down at myself and I looked so small and felt so little and breakable. It frightened me to think of being smaller. It seemed dangerous just thinking about getting smaller. It was really surreal.
