Eating disorder care plan
Does anyone have any experience with the new Medicare eating disorder care plan.
I'm considering getting one but don't understand it.

Re: Eating disorder care plan
Agh, I'm so sorry you're feeling like this. I really get you, and I know how frustrating it can be. I looked at this the other day, and found it to be quite limiting in the criteria for acquiring one.
But my best suggestion would be to see your GP, and talk to them about your concerns. I know it can be really hard, but if you're able to raise it with them, they should be able to talk you through it and help you figure out whether you will qualify, and what the best course of action is. The worst case is maybe that you get a mental health care plan, or are able to be assisted by your GP to monitor your progress.
My only other thought is that you could contact the Butterfly Foundation for some advice on how it all works. I'm pretty sure they have an online chat that operates through the evenings.
Thinking of you.
