Was initially referred as lost weight due to low mood and didn’t have an appetite, but also really picky with food caused by extreme anxiety and unable to eat a balanced diet. Had the initial assessment before Christmas but didn’t hear anything for a while. Had been told they had been trying to get in touch for weeks but had rang off a private number and only left a message once which I returned. Scheduled an appointment but this was rushed - 20 minutes at the most. Made a meal plan but this consisted of basics and my pickiness/mention of ARFID wasn’t really taken into consideration. Had gone in confident due to putting on nearly half a stone since the last meeting but told I still wasn’t eating enough and felt as if that knocked my confidence quite a bit.
