That was why I was in the group. I learned a lot of valuable skills in the group that has allowed me to keep depression at bay for longer periods of time. But, it hasn’t been a panacea. My Eating Disorder started recently and has progressed rapidly despite all my skills I’ve learned and used over the last 2 years. Now it has taken on a life of its own and rules me with an iron fist.

Time limited therapy may have its place in teaching skill sets that can be organized over a set number of sessions or groups, but I don’t think it can replace a traditional theraputic relationship that is not time limited. I have EDnos only because I haven’t had the time to loose the weight required for a diagnosis of anorexia. Now, less then 10lbs away from AN I am scared recovery is going to take years and I’m not sure I have the strength.

I am by my GP that I require intense and prolonged sessions of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy/ Talking Therapies.
According to these people (several over the 2 year period of waiting)
THEY (that is to say, General Practitioner Doctors) are not properly “qualified” to diagnose me!!??
So why tell me WHAT I need, and send me for it, if they don’t actually KNOW what is WRONG with me?
In a ten minutes or less *consultation* visit, I surely have not even touched on the stuff I NEED help with. IT is therefore not in my GP files, nor on hospital records.
HOW can these people (So-called Professional Doctors) take the money the National Health gives them, to *see* and *condemn* people like ME without a clue what is “wrong” with me????
Be interested to see your response.
I am *following you on Twitter* out of pure interest
My little grey cells are still working fine, despite the grey in my hair and the dullness in my eyes.

Happy Year of the Dragon to you.
