Hey there. I've got a problem. I'm losing weight (in rapid bursts but over longer periods of time). I'll be stable for quite a while and then drop suddenly for no reason, only to stabilize again. I weigh myself only to check every so often cause I'm afraid of this, and then terrify myself when the scale is lower. I have a T beginning to get concerned, and another professional I deal with bringing up eating disorder questions. The only person who doesn't seem to care, is my medical doctor. I've brought this subject up, stating how I'm not influencing this in any way and that it's really scaring me, but the only response I get is that, some people my age and height weigh this ("It's still in what can be considered a normal weight range")
I don't know what to do. How can I reassure those on my care team that this has nothing to do with an eating disorder, but convince them to take it seriously as a medical issue? I'm afraid, and am starting to get pretty panicky cause I don't think this is normal. Help please.
