To go? Or not to go?

You must be being sent there for a reason, you say there is no probelm, but there must have been something that set all this off in the first place.
I think you should probably keep the appt. it may help you to sort a few things out anyway. You might not think you have a problem here, but your family, friends and boyfriend clearly do.. this might be the thing to help.
If you decided not to go, do you think it would cause more problems than just giving in a deciding to give this therapy a go?

The thing is, only my bf knows about it. My housemates don't, and that's the way I intend to keep it. I don;t want the therapy because there is so obviously no problem here- they're just over-reacting. The only reason I went to the doctors in the first place was to keep them happy, and the next thing I know is I'm being shipped off for blood tests, and an appointment arrives for these special people! Grrrrr!!!

Okay, but in order for your boyfriend and family to think there is a problem -- something must have happened. I'm a bit confused you didnt really mention what it was that happened..
Anyway, your housemates don't need to know anything about it if you don't want them too. Why should they know about your private business.

I think you should keep your appointment, you might find you get some help that you didn't know you needed. Sometimes just having someone to talk to outside of yur family and friends can help alot; help you get some perspective on everything.

Hey guys, this is kind of a sensitive issue for me... Hence the use of the anon button. Basically I've been referred by my doc to see a special eating disorder person in November, and I'm just wondering if I should go or not. The thing is there's no problem, I'm not ill, I don;t feel ill, or look ill for that matter. There's absolutely nothing wrong with me... Do I really want to waste these people's time? Plus I'm on placement then, which could prove tricky to get out of. I don't want to be thought of as a time waster... However if my friends and bf find out I've not gone, then they'll be really mad, although my friends don;t know that I've got the apt through yet. I need to confirm attendance pretty soon, just wondering what I should do

From past experience, don't go. I've had an eating disorder since I was 2 and a half, and I've seen two therapists about it. One was a paid professional, very costly, but in my view, a total fraud. The techniques they use were bull**** and even at 7 years old I was able to outwit him when he was essentially in my head (had me picturing myself in a kind of virtual reality, I was basically under hypnosis).

The second one was fairly good but I still considered it to be a waste of time. I haven't changed at all and didn't appreciate having no real say in the matter. If you don't want to go, don't. If you want to resolve it, go. It's a very simple matter.

and I can't refuse people who are upset
