I confronted my guidance counsler today about social and general anxiety. I told her food made me anxious, and eating in front of others and it's always been that way. She asked me if I thought I was fat, I didn't answer. She asked why I was uncomfortable eating in front of people I told her because people would think that I was fat. So, she said with a disgruntled look on her face that I had an eating disorder. In my head I was like OBVIOUSLY, but not wanting to make it sound like that, I said, oh no it's social anxiety my psycologist and psychiatrist said so. She then asked the names of my psychs so I gave them to her. She didn't write them down though. She then asked me if I cut, I looked down quickly avoiding eye contact afraid she's see the truth in my eyes and I said no. I was afraid. I'm still afraid, I don't think she beleives me. We talked more about my ED, she asked what and how often I ate. I said just dinner, sometimes a salad at lunch, lots of tea. She said I was malnourished and need to eat. I told her I couldn't because then I'd be fat because my body would hold onto it. She said you need to see a noutrishionist. I said, I don't know. She says you can do anything you want with it once you see her, take the information or leave it. So I awkwardly laughed and smiled and nodded. I don't know if she is going to call my mom or psych, I have no idea, I'm so anxious and nervous. I have to see her next Tuesday again. :( Am I in trouble? What is going to happen to me, I'm freaking out! :(

She is only doing her job. You don't have to be afraid of her. I don't know if she is going to call your mother or not, but she only wants to make sure that you are safe, and she doesn't want you to hurt yourself, so she might want to talk to your mother. It's her job to ask stressful questions like that. You shouldn't be nervous to talk to her about it, as she is going to get you the help that you need. You are not in trouble, she only wants to help you with your problem.
