Hospital

Hey @Reeree welcome to the forums! 😊

I hear how overwhelming it must be to hear your psychiatrist say those things to you and be worried it might not be handled the right way. It's really great that you've reached out to the nurse, hopefully having those details written down means that this can be dealt with appropriately. You haven't done anything wrong, and I'm honestly a bit shocked that he'd make an assumption like that about your weight... definitely a good thing that you've picked up on this and spoken up, hopefully you get an explanation soon. And also there could be other reasons he's made that assumption, for example - if gaining weight is a very common side effect of the medication, he might be saying the same thing to everyone who is on that medication? I know it can be hard with ED behaviours to remember that gaining weight does not = being fat, and more importantly, remembering that your worth is not defined by this assumption. You deserve to be heard, to be seen and to be supported just as you are, no matter what. Reaching out for support and standing up for yourself takes a lot of strength, I hope you're proud of yourself for this. Sitting with you 💗
