Bad experience with my psych doc

I am recovering from an ed and have been for a few years. My psychiatrist prescribed a med. I said I was on a similar med before which made me gain weight and so I relapsed in an effort to lose it. She asked for my weight, I said I don’t weigh myself. She said if that’s a side effect I’m at risk for she should weigh me now. Asked me to confirm my weight and read the number out loud. It felt deeply bad. Next session she asked me what I weigh. I said I don’t weigh myself because of the ED

So I took the med and Its great and I no longer want to die but I also have been extremely hungry and thus have gained weight. This again proceeded to trigger a relapse and so I messaged her and was like “I can’t take this med anymore I think I’ve gained weight.” She asked if there was an increase in appetite and I said yes. She asked me if I could weigh myself and update her. I said “I promise you I should not know my weight right now”

she said “GotchaLOL”

This feels egregious
