I don't know about lazy, but that's a different story...

When I was looking for my current therapist, I heard a lot of reasons why therapists wouldn't see me:

"You won't find anyone to see you, because no one will see adults with anorexia. Do you know why? It's because anorexics DIE!"

Uh, thanks? I didn't know that my disorder was life-threatening, that's why I'm not looking for treatment? Thanks for the encouragement, anyway...

"How tall are you? How much do you weigh? No -- I won't see you. You need to be in the hospital."

Uh... Did you not just hear me say that I am seeing a dietitian, and have gained fifteen pounds on an outpatient basis?

I just saw the time, so I have to stop this meander down Bad Memory Lane. I'm sorry you got this response. It's true that meds and therapy together tend to work best -- but meds don't do enough for me to say I'm "stabilized," so I guess I can never have therapy?

I wish I could email you my therapist and my psychiatrist -- they're a good team...
