Sorry this is a rant. I just had a letter from a psychiatrist I saw and it has made me so angry.

I wrote to my local ED unit a few months ago asking to go in as an inpatient because I have been anorexic/ bulimic for 23 years and I am sick to death of it. (I have had outpatient therapy there on and off for 10 years). They said they would consider it after I had spoken to this psychologist in a different department, and now she has written back to them saying she thinks I think it is a 'magical solution' to my problems and that I want to give up all adult responsibility.

What she has said is absolute rubbish and not what I said to her, and I don't think that at all. Now I'm sure I'm not going to be allowed to go in to the ED unit and I'll just be offered yet more years of weekly counselling/therapy which makes no difference whatsoever. I'm so depressed and angry, its taken years and years for me to come round to the idea that gaining weight and going into hospital to learn to eat properly is a good idea, and now they don't want to let me do it! I just don't understand how I'm supposed to get better myself without more support.
