Are you going bald before T's eyes? I am, and I have to start thinking of myself as a bald person now. I feel as though as a bald person I am less entitled to my feelings, or at least when I have feelings that they are embarrassing to others.

Anyone else relate? You don't have to be balding, it could be something else, like weight, acne, etc.

Bumpety bump.

I'm gaining weight in front of my T: it's a good thing though

I'm not in t. anymore ($) but I used to get very unattractive, that was okay, but then UGLY.....or bug-like. (maybe they'll flick me off the furniture)

well... when i was about 9-ish in therapy i would pull chunks of my hair out when i needed to say something but couldnt get my mouth to cooperate. :/ ive also dug into the palms of my hands before, for the same reason. its not really intentional, and i dont really know the reasons why exactly. quite a few of those times i would need bandaids afterwards. and i usually wont notice it until some form of pain kicks in over it.
the hair thing stopped after my T would create options for me to point at on the white board. but then if there wasnt an option that she wrote up that i wanted or was trying to communicate i would start stressing out over it big time, quickly going into grabbing my hair... then screaming when i couldnt get the hair untangled from my hands... and the wall was actually climbable (lol sorry that had no releveance at all, but i loved that wall and this is one of the rooms my T would take me into.

I have both lost and gained weight in front of my T in the last 10 months. He noticed I was losing weight and brought up my eating habits. My 20+yr ED was exposed and he finally got me into an ED therapy program. He has now seen me at my lowest weight as an adult. Since then, he has watched me gain most of the weight back. It is a good thing, but I'm having a hard time believing that he's not judging me as he's watching me put the weight back on. Grateful for my t, because this is the hardest thing I've ever gone through!
