Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hey Guys,

Sorry I haven't responded to other posts or anything yet, I've been out at the doctor's all day and am really upset and could really use some support.

I got a copy of the psychaistrists evaluation of me, which was mostly nothing surprising and was helpful to have. HOwever, there was a page where he just makes observations regarding dress, make-up, stature, physical movements etc., and for weight he checked "overweight".

For those of you who know, I've been suffering from major problems with regards to my weight to the point where I believe I likely have an eating disorder. I'm not super skinny but I didn't think I was overweight. I lost all that weight last summer and am within the normal weight range for my size...in fact, my regular doctor was concerned I had become too small.

So, now I'm freaking out and I feel so stupid and guilty for freaking out over such a small thing. I just keep hoping it's a mistake or something, which I know is pathetic. I even called his office to find out why he put that...but then I'm afraid he'd be angry.

So I really don't know what to do, I'm all alone again tonight (bf works till midnight) and I can't stop crying and I'm afraid I won't be able to bring myself to eat or anything. I don't know why I have to take these things so seriously, but what other people think of me and see me as is just such a big deal to me and I just want to be "average"

Thanks for listening,
Kelly
