i am so sorry to hear about your situation and you are wise to see a therapist. the fact that you are pregnant complicates your management however so you will need to see a therapist that is skilled in dealing with people who have eating disorders. you may need a coordinated team to get you safely through your pregnancy and beyond including a ob/gyn who fully understands your struggles a nutritionist to carefully monitor your intake and perhaps a psychiatrist. yes this care costs money but since you are not working and do not have financial resources you will likely qualify for public assistance with your medical needs. as you may know taking certain medications during pregnancy is usually contraindicated but a psychiatrist can help weigh those risks and benefits. my heart really goes out to you and i hope you will start the ball rolling and get some help as soon as you can.
what type of therapist should i see? . i am 4 months pregnant with my first child. the day after i told my husband he told me to leave. i am living with my parents. i had to stop working & have no money. i have been battling binge eating disorder since high school-now i am 36. in 16 weeks i have gained 25. 8 pounds. i hate myself. i went from binging 5 times a month while eating healthy all the other times and going to the gym 4 times a week to not leaving the house crying daily and binging 4 days week.
