What happens during the process of diagnosis of anorexia? I think my doctor is trying to find evidence to support his suspicion of anorexia. (Yes, "thinking", because they never tell you anything) I had already done a blood test (awaiting results) and they want me to see a shrink. for evaluation. But what can I expect after the lab results come back? Will I be thrown into a treatment center and force-fed? I am 23 years old with a BMI of 14.6.
Hello,
Please accept all the help they offer. Your BMI is more than dangerous.
You do feel you're in the middle of anorexia?
If you continue without any help, it will ruin your life and kill you.
Unfortunately I did not ask for help in time and was taken with her for 11 years. It took all my quality of life. Now I am slowly able to enjoy life, but it also means gaining weight at the same time. You can not be happy and anorexic (ie happy long term, you can go through a "high" in the initial phase). As you are 23, nobody can force you to go to hospital, but if I were you, I would certainly go and get that sorted before it is too late. You can always email me if you need support or have question how hospital treatment center / working with anorexics. I've been there.
Are you anorexic? BMI indicates that your way underweight. At 23, they really can not force you to do anything, unless they suspect a suicide attempt.
The psych eval, and seek the help you need. It seems that, as you can.
If you want to talk more send an e-mail.
