No service offered unless I lose weight.
I have seen the criteria shared with GP referrers and as I dont meet it there is no point in going through the referral process. Being rejected for support after asking for it is just another thing I cannot cope with when I know it boils down to my body size. It's a cruel reality that to recover from this I need to let go of BMI and weight yet the very service that I need uses it as a core measure of entitlement. It is not conducive to recovery to work in this way and I am yet to believe it is cost effective either. I refuse to play into what my ED thoughts already believe is true; you can live when you are small enough to deserve it. I am in no mans land where I am not well enough to function and not thin enough to deserve support. I wonder how long this can go on for and I am not the only one in this situation.
