How hard is it to convince a therapist & psych that I am well enough to go back to school? I've been on psychiatric leave from grad school since sept '10, and by May1st I need them to say that I'm well enough to return if I want to start again in sept '11. I'm doing much better than I was doing in september, but some things happened (external things.. i was sexually assaulted) that have led me back to some of my behaviors that got me on leave in the first place. Back in sept I was suicidal and struggling with some substance abuse and bulimia. Now, I'm working in a lab (at the school I plan on attending) and since the assault I've been slipping back into bulimia behaviors. I finally told my therapist (like a month after it started up again) and I'm worried this will hurt my chances of being able to go back to school. I'm purging like once a day. What do you guys think? Obviously I'll try to cut it out, but if I can't.. should I start lying to her? I NEED to go back to school. If I stay out longer its going to negatively impact my recovery, I know it. School has always been my base that has helped me keep my shit together, I need it in my life again.
