I wonder if there isn't some kind of medical coverage you can get to help with the payment issue?  I do not think that the hospital could just tell your school your medical info, there is a confidentiality issue.  If your grades are good, and it seems like you attend class regularly, the school would not really send you home because it would sabotage your recovery.  Check the policies. Do your parents know about this?  If possible, send a friend to "be curious" about what would happen in that event.  Thanks for being proud of me for my progress.  I will admit that I was near death when I sought treatment, but none of the things that I was scared of happened.  When it comes to battling a behavioral disorder, knowledge is power.  Many places for counseling have a sliding fee, so that treatment is available to all.  It is hard to treat yourself to things when you do not have money.  Boy do I know that feeling!  Just see about the thrift store, too. Maybe you can get a cute piece of jewelry for 10 cents or something.  Oh, I am just babbling on and on

Philosophy-ouch!  I am sorry that you can't afford your treatment.  Have you thought about out-patient?  I know how hard it is and I am not trying to be pushy, just trying to see what kind of options are available to you.  You definitely don't want to end up in the hospital, especially if you could stop the problem before it got that bad.  That is cool that you are going to your friend's house for Thanksgiving.  Is the test really that bad?   Oh boy!  You know how the one woman was suggesting that you got Life Strategies to read?  You can pick up a lot of great tools from it on this site.  I had that book, until I lent it to a friend.  They kept it.  How rude, but anyway.  I would suggest Self Matters to start.  You can get the books for about 10-20 dollars, and you could always ask for it for Christmas.  Just a thought!

I am glad that you are eating a salad.  See, you have not messed up with your eating habits this time!  I had some jalapeno jack deer sausage with a few triscuits.  I had a huge supper last night at work, and I am still full!   I love it, because at the Supper Club where I work (new job) all of the cooks are men!  WooHoo!  They feed us very well, and they are all very good (looking) cooks!  LOL  They are very good at their work.  At the other restaraunt where I have worked for almost 2 years it is the opposite!  I am on vacation from there.  Only women, no supper.  No men at all!  No fun!  Ha Ha!  But I can't complain because I have learned so much.  I even learned to speak Spanish!  I am such a goof today!  Must be the jalapenos!

Dr. Phil gives advice on overcoming an eating disorder here on this site!  Yeah!  Did you see that yet?  I wish that he would do a show on bipolar, but nobody wants to touch that subject.  So many people have it, though.  I am just really proud of you for eating a salad, because you took control and ate healthy food that is going to help your body and your mind do what it needs to do!  Two really good decisions right there!  Good job!

do you think that your forgetfulness is due to malnutrition?  I hope that this does not damage your academic abilities.  Did you know that telling someone that you "visited the toilet"  is important for you to be able to get better?  (I read that in the section on this site) I have been studying to see if there is something that I can do/say that will make things any easier for you.  I am glad that you had the guts to talk about it, though.  It is sorta tough sometimes.  So, yet again another good move on your part.

P.S.- At least you ate breakfast, it was better than nothing at all!  Take a small success over a big failure anytime!  You are doing a good job!
