I don't know if this is true for you, but I've discovered that most of the medical professionals I've told about the eating disorders seem to skirt around the issue, as if discussing it will give me some attention they think I want (which I don't want) and will make it worse. Maybe this is just me, or something I'm sensitive about. I remember telling one T I hadn't eaten in three days and there was no response at all. I thought that was odd.

My regular T and I have a silent agreement. She only brings it up very, very rarely and if I bring it up I let her know how serious it is. If I think it's serious, she understands what I mean. I certainly don't believe that I use not eating as an attention-getting device--if anything, all I want to do is get so thin that I will disappear! But then again, there's also that theory that women w/eating disorders who have been sexually abused are striving to return their body to that pre-pubescent stage when we weren't sexual beings. That doesn't work for me, though, because my abuse took place when I was younger.
