I'm interviewing psychiatrists. One of them diagnosed me as a binge eater even though we barely talked about food, and I certainly never talked about binge eating because I don't do that. I'm a grazer and I don't eat unusually large periods of food in one sitting.

The only specific food thing we talked about is the development of a "problem with donuts" is what I said. But I didn't explain that meant I eat two donut every other day, and she didn't ask for clarification. Not healthy but not binging according to all explanations I've heard and read.

Has anyone had this happen? I don't want an incorrect diagnosis on my record. A doctor did that one time with a diagnosis that will haunt me the rest of my life in medical records.

I have had wrong things on my records, too.

everything from diagnoses to year of birth (year of birth?. huh?)

but for the most part it's sorted (not everything, but most things)

2 doughnuts is not binging. don't worry. I'm an overeater, I don't eat doughnuts really, but if I did we're look at 40/50 in a day probably.

maybe more

Thanks, raging vortex. I overeat but like you said I don't think 2 donuts every other day means I'm a binger. I'm going to call that doctor back and see what's up.
