The new therapist I’m going to start seeing in September works with people with EDs. I didn’t know someone needed such a higher level of care when it came to EDs and had to work with a specialist. But I’ve been told by 2 therapists I need to work with someone who know about EDs.
I was showing signs when I was 14 and everyone said I was just lying for attention. I would throw up and not eat for 3 days at a time. But they just said “no you don’t have a problem” . Same thing happened when I tried coming out as trans in 2011. My therapist just told me I was confused.
I’m glad people take me seriously as an adult.
