How to talk to your doctor about eating disorder?

Talking about your eating disorder with your doctor can be nerve-wracking. You might worry that they won’t take you seriously or will judge you, but it’s crucial to seek help before things spiral out of control.

Here are some tips on how to talk to your doctor about your eating disorder in a funny tone:

Start the conversation by getting comfortable

First things first, get cozy! You need a comfy chair and maybe even some tea. If you’re gonna spill the beans about something as sensitive as an eating disorder, then make sure you feel at ease.

Pro tip: Take deep breaths; sometimes blabbering is cathartic.

Go Prepared

When opening up about struggles with food and body image issues- which let’s face it, nobody wants – preparation is key.Take all necessary documents (medical records etc.), Breath mints if fear causes cottonmouth -, and prepare answers for possible intake questions before scheduling a session. Know your symptoms, such as changes in appetite or energy levels

Pro Tip: Make notes of kickass jokes & one-liners like Chandler Bing for when anxiety creeps up during conversations.

Be open and honest

The days of being dishonest with our doctors must come to an end friend.There’s no point pretending everything is “Peachy keen” when clearly things aren’t quite right. Hype yourself up! Express what’s concerning because letting important details slide could hinder progress towards regaining healthy habits.

Pro tip: Keep water handy just so in case tears decide flow,you don’t dehydrate.

Emphasize its okay not having-together

Ah Yes..the good ole societal pressure.This guilt we pressure ourselves into feeling? That sht has got ta’ go! Don’t ever feel shame admitting life feels overwhelming; sometimes, we need help. Perfection doesn’t exist; jot down successes, no matter how small, and realize setbacks are common while growing.

Pro tip: release stress in creative ways – dance like nobody’s watching to your favorite jam or scribble on some paper.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions

Unless you have MD at the end of your name, chances are certain health-care terms will fly right over your head.It’s A-Okay not knowing every aspect involved in treating an eating disorder.Engage with physicians by asking anything about medications indicated for treatment& all the effervescent details that aren’t quite clear just as long as it creates a better understanding during sessions .

Pro-tip: Don’t let fear hold you back from asking about all aspects of diagnosis and maintenance – this is literally their job!

Feel free express any fears related to therapy

Hitting walls during various stages within recovery? That’s completely fine!. Maybe there’s underlying anxiety surrounding specific types of therapy such as CBT as well which may instigate more questioning with poor communication between patient & therapist discussing potential solutions . Scream it out if needed (while avoiding damage)

Make a list/record interactions allowing productive discussions

Pro-tip: Be honest regarding things that bother/frighten you when meeting with therapists; they’re trained professionals who handle cases similar dealing having similar limiting beliefs

Ask Physician how best support can be provided.

Primary care physicians exist to assist patients actively seeking medical attention.Voice concerns regarding support such as ongoing follow-up visits after initial session for accountability/mark progress.Knowing what strategies/tools work towards recovery matter hugely so don’t hesitate

This could mean scheduling appointments (e.g., including future visits after discharg) , filling medication prescriptions or offering referral info(kundalini yoga worked wonders..no kidding!)

You got this girlfriend!

Admitting to a problem and seeking assistance marks the start to better health absolutely-totally wholeheartedly crushing your goals. Physicians exist not only for treatment of physical health but also mental health; consequently remember you are never alone! Use these tips&more importantly humor as powerful tools assisting works towards progress regarding healthy habits.Pat yourself on the back..it’s no small feat -giving growth & healing opportunity instead sweeping both under one big rug can’t be “eaten”

Let’s chat about things, over few giggles,maybe breakout into some dance? It’s important to look after our hearts (and soul too)
