ED intake, what to expect?
Eating Disorder Support / by KSicily
Last post

...See more My therapist at the university I go to just made me sign up with an ED specialist and nutritionist so I have a "primary care eating disorder clinic intake appointment" in a couple weeks. I hadn't really considered the possibility that I had an eating disorder until recently, I have no idea what to expect, and I'm already kinda wary of doctors so I'm all around pretty terrified. If anyone can give me a run down of how their first time getting seen was or what I can expect, particularly in a college setting, I'd be really grateful.

How do I motivate myself to eat?
Depression Support / by KSicily

...See more For years I used food deprivation to punish myself or to cope with overwhelming emotions. When I started therapy, I thought if I could address the emotional side of things, my weird ideas and struggles with eating would disappear, but they haven't and turning down the volume on the self hating voice in my head that discourages eating is proving to be hard. And just fundamentally, sometimes finding the motivation to think of and buy or prepare food is more than I can handle. I've found that distracting myself with TV while I eat or prepping meals in advance when I feel okay increases the likelihood that I'll eat, but I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for how they drum up the motivation to keep nourishing themselves.
