Eating disorder

elmo25

I've had an eating disorder for years and have recieved treatment in the past for anorexia. Since recovering from anorexia I kind of I guess replaced it with bulimia I have been reffered to st. vincents in elm park. Has anyone been in treatment there for bulimia I thought they only treated anorexia. If anyone could shead some light on what to expect that would be great as my anxiety about is through the roof.:eek:

Hiya iv just started attending vincents ED clinic for bullimia.
Dr Maher is lovely. You see the dr also a dietician and a coucilor.
I havent seen the coucelor yet.

ah sound thanks for the reply puts my mind at rest. Was searching the net looking for info on it there is nothing. I hate not knowing what to expect nerves were getting the better of me. Am going this week so well I guess it's only the start. Is there a wait between your assesment and seeing the dietician and coucilor ?
The best of luck with you treatment hope it goes well for you xxxxx:)

I was very quick getting an apointmentment with dietition only about 3 weeks. There seems to be a longer waiting list for the counceling.
And the good thing for me was that there wasnt many in the waiting room and very short wait to go in. That makes all the difference.
Best of luck with your treatment.

It's a long time but I done some of my training there; for EDs it is considered to be one of the best treatment facilities in the country. Best of luck with it.
