So upset.

Hiya ladies need a little advice. Early last year I began starting to lose some of my 3.5 stone worth of baby weight I had gained during pregnancy. I had an eating disorder during my teen years and since hve fully recovered but i noticed that my huge weight gain and trying to diet was bringing back some unwanted feelings. Mainly anxiety which was a huge thing when I had my ED.
I went to my gp with anxiety and concerns for my eating and he prescribed me diazepam for the anxiousness (which i thoght was a bit over the top and didnt want) and asked me if I wanted a referral to their counselling service which I agreed to. However it was a 3 month wait and I knew that it was in my interests to nip it in the bud so I found myself a private pyschiatrist and booked an appointment. All I needed to see him was a private referral from my gp which I got.
I saw him twice and he prescribed me some anti depressants and referred me for cbt to help me deal with my anxiety as I stressed how much I didn’t want long term medication.

I told mya about my eating disorder and informed them I was ok. I also told them I had anxiety issues and was on a short course of medication for it but am now off of it and perfectly fine. However I forgot to mention my pyschiatrist because in my eyes it was sorted and I told them about the medicatin.

I had a call from the nurse today asking g about said pyschiatrist and I explain he was private and that my referral was purely to be seen quickly. However she has had to speak to him and now my PC has said they need stuff in writing which I’m waiting for. She has told me not to worry but i am absolutely petrfied they are going to refuse me. To be reffered on the nose to a pysc you have to be suicidal or mentally unstable which I wasn’t. I just wanted to do something to prevent me from relapsing into an ED. But my doctor hasn’t stated this.

Can anybody put my mind at ease here. Xxxxx

Oh god where it says nose I meant nhs but my phone hates me.

Stupid thing is that if I had remember to mention the sheer word pyschiatrist I probably wouldn’t be in this mess but I thoght if I told them about the problem that was more important and the fact I’m still recovered and healthy should be fine. It was my gp that told them id been to a shrink referred by them. But they hadnt told mya it was a referal requested by me for a private paid for matter not an NHS re feral which seems to make so much difference. My PC said it doesn’t mean I can’t have the op. But I’m unsure if she’s just trying to keep my mind at ease while they wait for whatever he has to send them before they make a decision. Xxxx

Don’t worry hun, they just need to record everything and have the appropriate paperwork. Try and not worry until you find out! Sending hugs your way xxx

Thanks huni that’s what my PC said. She said they just need all the info. But the nurse sounded very um concerned. She kept asking me if I was okay. I’m fine ha. I’m in a better place than I’ve been in a long time I just thought I should seek help before any problems re surfaced. Plus this was all last year. I’ve been fine for months 🙁 xxx

I think they just need all the info on their notes but I’m sure it’ll be fine. And it’s nice that the nurse is concerned, just shows that they care! I’ll keep fingers crossed for you xxx

aww nicole i hope it all sorts itself out. xx

Aw hun try not to worry u should be fine they just need all the information.. i was on a certain medication for just a month and they contacted my doctor about it wanting more information.. as soon as they got that everything was fine.. to be honest i was surprised that they did that.. so they obv just check on everything with everyone even the small things.. honestly dont stress chick x

I wouldn’t worry either Hun, you’ve been honest and upfront with them , they just need to make sure you are better before putting you through major surgery. Even though I’m fit and well they contacted my gp the few days before my op to check I was fit for surgery. I wouldn’t condone lying before an op your op would get cancelled.
Good luck xx

Hi girls. Quick update. Got some good news. Firstly my PC has been an absolute angel today. She has kept in constant contact with me me really helped to put my mind at ease. Honestly she has been so lovely! It seems that they need confirmation that I was discharged from my pysch. I got emailed a letter today which I had to sign and popped through his door to get it sorted quick I and so got the chance to speak to him and he confirmed that o have indeed been discharged from his care and that while he can only comment on how I was when I saw him ages ago because he hasn’t seen me rerecently he will be happy to confirm in writing that I’ve been discharged. He will be writing the letter for me on Monday so hopefully mya will recieve mid week and all will be sorted. Still a slight worry in the back of my mind but that’s normal I suppose. But for now all looks set to go ahead. Here’s to hoping things stay going smoothly. 🙂 xxxx

I’m glad to hear it! Fingers crossed it’ll all be sorted next week xxx

At my consultation I told them that Id been on antidepressants for a few months after having both of my daughters. Even though they have to see a copy of your medical records Dr Kazzazi wanted to hear more from me about it, so I had to send an email, I just said that I wasn’t myself due to lack of sleep and general hormone imbalance and that was the reason for the anti depressants. I wouldn’t worry I think they just want to hear it from you xxx
