my therapist temporarily stopped treatment
hi guys, I (21M) have been in therapy for half my life but this never happened to me and i’m confused and sad
i have BED (binge eating disorder) since my teenage years and i finally seeked help almost 2 years ago.
this is my second therapist that i’m talking to abt my ed (the first one got another job) and i genuinely felt like i was improving. i still binge a lot but i can tell WHY i am binging and i’ve stopped many binges from happening bc of her advice.
last year i was doing horrible, i didn’t go outside and binged everyday and was gaining weight like crazy. i was in crisis impatient for 2 weeks and on the waiting list for another inpatient.
i have moved out of my parents home a little over 3 months ago. i’ve adopted a cat who is my child and i mentally feel better, except i still binge. i’ve had ups and downs but i’m doing better then i was last year! i decided against another inpatient, because the crisis one didn’t really help and some of the staff (who i will see again) only made it worse
i just had a meeting with my therapist, mom, and 2 other people close to my ‘case’ they all started to attack me (or at least it felt like that’ and basically the outcome is that i have a choice, inpatient or temporary stopping treatment untill i have better structure and i need to volunteer somewhere. (i’m chronically ill and have a learning disability so i can’t work or go to school) i agree with the volunteering part. i get lonely and want to do something during the day, so i’ve been searching for something
is this not insane? they claim it is because they’re worried abt my health but WHY stop therapy then when that was the only thing that was helping me ????
