This week's video addresses a topic that I feel gets a lot of heat. I get questions every week about this and I know that even loved ones of those of us with ED's wonder too. The question is, am I sick enough to get help? or how sick do I have to be to get help?
To be honest, just by asking that question the answer is already yes, you are sick enough. If you have any issues with food to the extent that you consider getting help, or even think that your focus on food is affecting other things in your life, than you should get help. The only real question here is what kind of treatment? Do I need to be admitted into the hospital? Do I need inpatient? Will seeing my therapist once a week and my dietitian once a month be enough? These are the actual questions that we need to ask, and they can all be answered by making an appointment to see your doctor and your therapist.
They will be able to figure out what damage (if any) has been done to your body as well as how you are doing emotionally and how much support you will need for recovery to be possible.
I know that making that first appointment is really hard and scary, but I have a video about what to know when you call to find a therapist, and hopefully that will help relieve some of your anxiety. Just remember, everyone's ED is different and everyone's body is different. That's why we need to call on professionals to let us know how much help will we need to get on the path to a healthy mind and a healthy body. - Video Language:
