DWP advisor concerned about my health, what is going to happen?
Some advisors are concerned about my health and others aren't, but the advisor that I spoke to recently has asked me things like do you feel hungry? Do you feel like eating and I told her about my birth defect and anorexia nervosa. She said have I gone to the GP about a meal plan and I told her about my weight issues and she said it is still progress and said do I want to work I said yes I have to (what kind of question is that)? It seems like just because I had a lot of sick notes before, these advisors ask a lot of questions about my health and some advisors say I can't be on low benefit my whole life and think I made health issues as an excuse before, but I get so offended with people asking me about my health when I was on sick notes like 4 years ago. It doesn't seem like they are forcing me to look for work but do you think they can speak to the GP on my behalf? I am just a bit worried.
Its ok to feel trapped by your own mindset - but that will be your choice in life going forward? You can change the 'can't do' to 'can do' How much life have you missed so far without even considering the need to go out and work?
To a certain extent the advisor is right. It is easy to get into a habit of just not wanting to max out your full potential because you begin to see aspirations in life as unachievable. Health problems can become a habit where if you have no incentive to want to study, or work, or socialise or exercise that inactivity becomes a life 'norm' For many people this is a life reality where living in a dressing gown all day from the age of 18 is a normal expected occurrence.
The DWP can communicate with your GP and ask for supporting evidence for any ESA application - This evidence can be used to support your case. But I really wouldn't worry if your case is genuine and you can't work due to your medical conditions.
But if you are determined to do something and start to believe in your abilities then the boundaries are limitless.

As in can the job centre communicate with my GP and make me get treatment and fix my weight issues and eating issues? I am not trying to use it as an excuse, in fact I am applying for jobs but I just worry that the DWP may be concerned about my health and speak to the GP about me getting treatment. I don't know what I want, do I want to prioritise health because I have anorexia nervosa and that could lead to things like osteoporosis and when you go to work hands on manual jobs may not be right for obvious reasons or do I want to work. I don't want to get treatment though, so I need to work. I wish I could get voluntary work experience as an admin volunteer with my GP surgery and become permanent there.
