This Crazy Life

Back to the ED child.  We are struggling with trust.  She says her ED and OCD are better than they’ve ever been and this trust has nothing to do with her ED.  Except she’s paranoid we are adding oil into things she uses and if they get out of her sight at all she can’t use them anymore.  She’s afraid the oil will cause weight gain.  But that’s not the ED.  It’s not.  Except it is.  We meet w/ her therapist tomorrow so I hope to address this with her so maybe she can realize it is in fact her ED.  But she has also said she’s willing to try some small exposures related to trust so maybe she can work on it and become less anxious.  She knows it’s an issue, which I think is a good first step.  Perhaps.  So that’s our first step.  Because right now she doesn’t even think she can do her liver ultrasound b/c trusts issues b/c if something is wrong she’s going to be even more afraid that we are adding things to anything to try to make it better.  And she can’t feel any worse than she already does.  Long.  Freaking.  Sigh.
