Okay, well as most of you know from my last thread, we have recently discovered that D13 is anorexic and bulimic. We saw the therapist for the first time yesterday. She seems great and i am relieved that she doesn't view everything from a purely psychological point of view, she seems to have a handle on the biological stuff as well. She feels there is a definite OCD component with my D and recommended we get her started on SSRIs - since my H has done fabulously on Prozac for his depression, we will start with that. She also recommended starting her on birth control pills for hormone replacement. She still has her periods but they have gotten a little irregular and are probably anovulatory - your have to be concerned about preserving her bone density (and this is my child who has already broken 5 or 6 bones in the years past!).
D seemed to do okay with the therapy, and even ate more spontaneously after we got home than she has in a week. She is struggling with a lot of stomach pain, though, when she eats - because nothing works properly after a while when you've been abusing your body this way.
Off topic - we rented Radio to watch with the kids last night - what a fabulously uplifting movie - highly recommend it. Cuba Gooding Jr. is spectacular in it.
Oh - and in case you hadn't noticed - had to cancel my fabulous girl's ski weekend with SIL and her friends - was totally necessary, but boy, I was SO looking forward to a girl's weekend after the stresses of this last year!!
