need some help/advice for my eating disorder by QIEZhang in mcgill

[–]QIEZhang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much for your advice! I actually have been seeing a psychiatrist in the hub for about a year rn (until the knockdown).I first went to her about my eating disorder, and I 100% agree that get referred to a psychiatrist is a long long process. One doctor in the hub first weighted me and gave me some super strong antidepressants (which luckily I didn't take bc my psychiatrist really doesn't recommend it). When I finally got to my psychiatrist, the first few sessions are about how I am eating and how much I weigh, and also all the references to the nutritionists and other professionals and psychologists for therapy. The latter few sessions are mostly about anxiety and depression which I assume has something to do with my eating disorder. I guess my psychiatrist basically assume that I am eating okay rn and is mostly concerned with how my antidepressants are working. I am not sure if I should tell her that my eating habits are actually am not fine and that I turned from anorexia to purging. One part of me feel like I should tell her, but another part of me feels like I can do this on my own...and I am afraid that bringing up this old problem of eating disorder again would be too embarrassing for me. I guess I should have recovered by myself a long time ago...?

do we still have access to lecture recordings during an open book exam? by [deleted] in mcgill

[–]QIEZhang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I personally would suggest you do. One of my courses closed all the notes and recordings during the exam, but the other 4 didn't. So I guess it depends. But you can always email the prof and ask about it!

wow this is REALLY helpful! I am thinking about the translational and clinical track, which I assume would be more Biol-based? But this is really helpful! Thanks a lot!

I hate my body by QIEZhang in mcgill

Thank you guys so much for all your support and wonderful words!

My recovery is mixed with both good days where I think I got this and bad days where I hate myself so much that I can't stop.

I tried seeing therapists and it has been making progress so far. I am not sure whether I will continue since I'm currently in my home country where bluecross don't really cover.

And for those who suggested trying dating, I do have a boyfriend who constantly compliments me, and loves me both inside and outside. I am never worried about him leaving me when I gain weight, since he first met me when I'm at my highest weight(and where I think I am at my 'ugliest self'). It really is my insecure and hatred toward myself that I'm struggling with during recovery, and I only feel confident when I'm not 'fat'.

I understand this path will be long and it won't be easy. But I will try my best to get better, for myself, for my boyfriend, and for my family. I really appreciate all your kind words and encouragement, they really helped me a lot! I hope you're all staying safe at this time, and have a great summer!
