I was seeing a new therapist more so about depression and
anxiety than my ed. I did that because a lot of therapists won't
treat EDs and I couldn't afford to see a specialist. So I told
her about my ed issues and that I didn't really wanna focus on
it so I could continue to receive the treatment I needed for
depression and anxiety. and she said "well you aren't skinny so
we won't worry about that right now"
Can't wait to show up at her office when I reach my goal weight.

Omg I can't believe that!!!
I've def had two that didn't take me seriously for my ED either
basically acting like it didn't exist. Current one told me she
isn't worried about weighing me unless I look like I'm too thin

Last therapist before this one;
Is a well known Ed therapist in my area, young but established.
Worked out of her house. I did like her.
Eventually stopped answering my texts, would take weeks to get
back to me and to schedule me. When I first started seeing her
she told me she only worked 3 days but since it was out of her
home if one week if one of her days on didn't work she would
work a day off.
That never happened, she would literally schedule me a month out
just to cancel.
Last straw was when we made an appt and I showed up (at her
house) and was locked out and I texted her and she said that she
thought she texted me saying her daughter was sick so she
couldn't see me.....
Bye bitch

This isn't a story of a therapy nightmare, but I wanted to
encourage you guys to not completely give up on therapy if you
have had a bad experience. It can take some trial and error
before you find the right therapist for you. I went to two
others before going to my current therapist, and even though
there was nothing horrible about my first two therapy
experiences, I just didn't click well with the people I was
seeing and I didn't really benefit from going, so I felt like
therapy in general was pointless. But I really responded well to
my third and current therapist and I love going to her for
therapy. Once you find the right person to go to and talk with
therapy can be a really useful tool, even if it's only for
someone to talk to. So if you haven't had much luck with therapy
yet, please don't just give up on it. It's true that therapy
might not be for everyone, but sometimes the reason it hasn't
been beneficial is simply because the chemistry between
therapist and client isn't right. Just try and keep an open mind
guys and be patient!

Honestly don't have anything bad to say about my therapist. But
it took me over a year to find the perfect fit and perfect place
to go. I am in love with my therapist now and she's helped me
through really bad times. But I am not a fan of my psychiatrist
and am looking to seeing the one at the therapy place I go to
