Well she is really nice, it was just an intake appointment so there wasn't much involved other than her asking me just about everything! lol


She believes that I have EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified) and dysthymia. Dysthymia is a low-grade yet chronic depression accompanied by low self esteem. Well at least I have a name for the depression now! (o:


Starting in October I see her weekly. She is pregnant and due in November so I don't know what I'll do then. I hope I am referred to a good therapist to take her place.


Just thought I'd let you all know.


Hugs, Michelle
