Things have gotten bad. ER visits, chest pain, dizziness.. and today I went to see my Dr for a horrible migraine that won't go away. They gave me an injection for it and I passed out during the injection. I sat there for a while after and thought I was better, then proceeded to black out 5 or 6 times in the parking lot trying to get to my car. I eventually gave up and had to go back inside to get checked out again. I was told it was a vasovagal response and it was realy bad because of undernutrition and dehydration. My heart is struggling, I need to recover. I ate actual meals after this today. I'm going to choose to eat tomorrow. Not just yogurt and berries, actual meals. I texted therapist and told him everything that happened so I can't brush it off. We have an appointment tomorrow. Things feel like they got really serious all of a sudden.

I had a follow up with my PCP today regarding anxiety and restrictive eating, and while I thought things were improving and she would see the improvement... she referred me to The Emily Program for more support. I filled out the initial online form and they immediately called me for an intake appt tomorrow morning. I'm feeling really panicky about this, and it feels like too much too fast. I still lost weight this past month and I acknowledge my BMI is now teetering on being underweight, but I am still technically a lb into the normal category and part of me wants to just give it another month to see if I can turn this around on my own.

Has anyone else experienced this before? I already see a therapist weekly for anxiety/trauma work. This just feels like a lot, and I feel like the restrictive eating is likely to improve on it's own as we are finally making progress with the trauma.
