A bit scared
I have atypical anorexia (I don't know if it's ok for me to be here - hopefully it's ok!). I'm scared cuz it's becoming dangerous to >!fast !< because of an ulcer.
In a fit of pique after having a tough day in the hospital with chronic pain plus an ulcer I told my counsellor I would probably >!fast!< anyway.
Its getting to the point my counsellor may have to break patient confidentiality and tell my doctors who do not know about the anorexia.
I feel scared. I don't know what are red flags for when a counsellor has to say something. I just wish I knew what those guidelines are, or that I wasn't so honest with him.
I don't know what to do. I feel so scared. I'm still trying to eat well. It's just at certain point when I'm too stressed that I turn to >!fasting!< to help me to cope.
Have you ever had a counsellor have to break patient confidentiality before? I feel so f***** about it all.
Thank you for reading. 🤍
