Hey all!
Currently a first year MSW student right now and have been struggling with my eating disorder since October. I was wondering if any of you have experience, and are comfortable with sharing your experiences on how you cope. I know I need to reach out and seek help, but I don't have any money to afford ED specific therapy out of pocket and my health insurance won't cover much. I'm seeking out therapy on campus but I have to pay out of pocket and making appointments are extremely difficult due to my busy schedule and the counseling centers lack of availability. I typically have 10-17 hour days, with field work, classes, and a part-time job, which makes seeking help even more difficult. I'm not sure what to do. How long do I wait till I start talking to my professors and advisors and let them know about my situation? My focus has been completely shot lately (i.e. it's taken me 4 hours to write 3 paragraphs tonight) and my energy levels completely down. I'm just not sure what to do or if anyone is in any sort of similar boat.
Thanks guys!
