I'm officially going to see PCP for my eating issues. I'm scared but something has got to change. I don't know how to even start the conversation. I get the impression he thinks it should be all easy peasy. Once I start eating-it's like I can't stop. Portion control...what's that!? I know something needs to change but what and how? Ugh!? I just wanna cry. I'll feel so stupid if I cry in his office.

I felt the same way. But u can't get help if u don't say anything. There are MILLIONS of people in America with the same issue. Talk to your PCP and he/or she will get u help. They will might refer u to a psychiatrist that specializes in that field. You will feel much better. Seeing PCP Seeing PCP

Thank you my eating is the whole purpose of my seeing the doctor today. I need help with this. I'm being extremely conscious about my eating today but that only lasts a short while unless I'm accountable. So, I'll email T after my PCP appointment and see what we can come up with.

At the doctor and freaking out!!! Ugh! I should just leave. I feel so foolish. He has tried for so long and I have blown him off. How do I justify coming to him now? Oh god! Panic attack coming on! If I dont have it here I'll most likely have it the car. F***I never should have done this. I'm so stupid. Help!!

I'm just sick to my stomach. I can't believe the way he treated me today. It's so surreal. I just get the feeling he gave up truly treating me since I have medicaid. He has been so adamant about me losing weight over the years I have seen him I thought he would be ecstatic and ready to do anything to help now that I AM ready. Instead he mocked me gave me a script for a cholesterol medication and walked out. I'm so sick. I wanna die. I feel like a piece of s***. What happened? Why wouldn't he help me? What's wrong? He didn't even call today after I called and said I would never be back. I'm so confused. I don't know what to do.

I'm talking to a friend tomorrow about weight watchers but that is for people who still feel they have some control over their eating...I don't. I gotta try something. I don't know what to do though...thats why I went to my doctor.

I went through 3 not so good Dr's. before I found one that clicked. Hey, they are humans too. And not all so sensitive. Go through this period of shock, exposure, embarrassment and all the normal emotions that come with it- and go find someone else. But first, how about you call facilities that specialize in the area of interest and ask if they could refer you to a Dr. Or call the 800 numbers in your area - or call down a list of therapists and ask them who they recommend. I found my good general practitioner by getting a recommendation from my psychiatrist.

It's just hard to believe he acted like this after such a long good working relationship. I dunno I'll get over it.
