I finally found someone who is willing to see me on a sliding scale. Both a t and a dietician. The t is totally new to me, I am praying we will click since it is $50 a visit with her. The dietician is my old one who I was seeing last year. I will be paying $30 a visit with her. I don't know if I need to tell my current t (non ED specialist) that I am seeing another t or not. Current t is the one who told me I had to pick either DBT or ED t and dietician. That was last year, I choose DBT. Now that I have relapsed, I feel that I need more support. I have gone back to eating just one meal a day and drinking enough water to get my meds down. I wish I didn't have to eat that one meal and wouldn't if my parents and daughter weren't home. I can tell that I have lost weight because my pants are sliding down and I have to keep pulling them back up. I like this feeling of losing weight and that is the part that scares me. I know I could lose some weight and still be in a healthy weight and I also know that I will never be happy with how much weight I lose.

You've struggled so much. I'm so sorry too hear about this relapse.
I am struggling too. I almost lost my wedding rings today when they slid off my finger. And they're all ready wrapped. I came home and wrapped more twine around them instead of eating.

What really worries me is your fluids. Could you try adding just a 1/2 cup first thing? Just get it down and over with?
*Wishing you well*

Hello buttrfli: I don't know anything about your circumstances except what I read in this thread. But I would just like to say that, in general, I don't think it is a good practice to be working with different professionals & to have them not know that you're also working with others. My perspective would be that there is too much potential for you to end up with conflicting recommendations... just my thoughts on the subject.

I would not only tell them about each other I would also sign the paperwork that gives them permission to talk with each other also.....I did that with my MD & my pdoc the last time the anorexia got really bad. There was a difference in opinion of the medications....MD didn't like the extreme meds that pdoc wanted to use....so I did NOTHING in that way because of the horrible side effects that I get with meds anyway...never know if they will make matters worse which is usually the case.

Be open with all since your current T told you to go to an ED & dietition in the first place....it won't be anything that bothers her & I'm sure you will get much support.

I definitely understand your issues.....I eat one meal a day but also I do snack if I start to get light headed.....& it's not always on healthy food even though I do try to buy the healthy things for snacking.....but I like flavors when I'm not horribly stressed & feeling sick which really triggers the anorexia.....then I can only eat bland food when I eat anyway.

Yes, when the weight loss gets started, it is addicting & it's not easy to want to stop & my body goes into weight loss mode almost. I can loose weight when I think I've been eating at times.......think my body is so messed up it doesn't know at times what it's doing.
