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. |

Kessa,
I can't speak to what you experienced, being surreal and all. But, I can speak to the fact that we're all different. My experiences are going to be different from anyone else's (even if they are similar :-). I would really encourage you to go back and tell your counself that you were hoping for more interest regarding what you told her. Even though I have not been through what you posted, I can really relate. Good luck! -Emily |

I can't speak to your experience, but perhaps you can bring it up again at your next session, by perhaps printing off this post so she knows how important this is for you? __________________

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
