Racer,
I have nothing but admiration for you for pursuing this; I know it is awful and the only consolation I can think of is that you may be making headway for folks in the future.That is totally lame, I know, and I hope you get some resolution on the issues involved....but, in a way you are doing some ground breaking things. Like if your eating disorder had been in REMISSION prior to therapy, and therapy ACTIVATED it....well, I'm a little suspicious about who is doing their jobs.
I hope you prevail!
Our current health care/mental health care systems need an overhaul....and you may be the impetus because you have refused to back down!
My vote would be to take it as far as you safely (for yourself) can, and then ... well, I don't know after that. In Texas, Mental Health is like a sort of adjunct thing; if you're having a heart attack EMS can be there. If you're having a mental break......well, we'll see what we can do, and, oh, by the way, what is your income and do you have insurance?
I hope you DO prevail!
BTW, are you in better hands now?
xoxo
Shar
