Hi, I would love an opinion from somebody. My shrink wants me to go to this dern eating disorders outpatient program.

Anyway, I am 5'4, 135 lbs and I sort-of do anorexic and bulimic type of stuff. Here is my problem w/ this program he is proposing:

a) again, it would be b/c he is suggesting it, not b/c I want help. If I go there and don't eat, which I won't, they will remove me from the program. Then what?


B) I fail to see, at my weight, why it's necessary. He said it's my choice. Okay, so I choose not to go. Well, isn't therapy the same thing?


C) I had trouble even driving to the interview b/c I felt so dizzy, sick, etc. But I would be committing myself to 3 weeks of driving an hour each way per day in heavy highway traffic. Pretty dangerous, isn't it? The shrink says it's b/c I don't eat right and I take pills. Well, if I could stop that, I wouldn't need the treament!!!



I say I should keep losing weight and see if I want to go after that. Or see if work gets adamant about it. Why go to treatment if my heart isn't in it and if I also feel I may not be able to drive there?


Opinions, anybody? I have no desire to "get better."
