I have depression, agoraphobia, schizophrenia, ana (use to have mia) and BED sooo I know what your going through :/, but remember that you're not alone, and you're stronger than you think😊
My situation is very similar to yours as I am also 3 years post treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma (March 31st marks 3 years since my last radiation treatment) I had my first appointment at the adult hospital since turning 18 and it was quite stressful to say the least. There's already the baseline stress that comes with hem/onc appointments because everyone worries about relapse, but on top of that there's stress that comes with the whole ed stigma. The fact that I really don't want to be seen as 'crazy' or for my new doctors to treat me differently because I have mh problems. 😞 (Also for even more similarities I'm also Canadian but live in Ottawa however I also go to shoppers for my prescriptions haha)
thank you, this video was helpful!! I get a lot of anxiety around appointments too so its helpful to know I'm not the only one and to see what you do to cope. I really love your channel especially because I am recovering from an eating disorder (I have been the last few years) & I am also vegan which isn't too common to find in a positive manner in the ed community. thank you for encouraging & inspiring me & never failing to make me smile!
I'm so happy that you found this helpful. Appointment anxiety is tough and you're definitely not alone. I'm glad to hear you're in recovery and that you find our channel to be a positive and encouraging place. Keep kicking ass in recovery!!!! xoxoxoxo
Hi, just curious....was your an ED a reaction to having cancer? I'm asking because I used mine as a way to feel in control because I couldn't control my physical health illness. I also have feel alone in that reasoning.
hi :) that's an interesting question. i have had my ed since i was 11, so it was not initially caused by cancer. however, the psychological effects of having cancer definitely contributed to making my ed worse after i finished chemotherapy at 16. i felt exactly the same way as you. i felt like my body betrayed me and i wanted to take back some kind of control over it. i also wanted something other than cancer to consume my thoughts. you are absolutely not alone in that. dm us if you ever want to chat. xo
VegucatED wow, thank you so much! That makes sense and thank you for actually reaching out. Also I promise I can spell and use correct grammar. I don’t know what was going on. Lol
