Inpatient with an eating disorder

Inpatient with an eating disorder

I'm so scared. They're making me eat and I can't deal with it.

Let me explain...

I've been in hospital the last 6 weeks on a medical ward due to the physical injuries of a suicide attempt and I'm going to be in here we'll into the new year. The thing is I struggle with an eating disorder. They've become aware of it (despite the fact I'm not underweight) and have been heavily monitoring and controling my intake.

I feel so out of control.

I broke down at dinner and just couldn't do it. I can't eat anymore. I just can't.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

Could you maybe speak to a nurse you feel most comfortable with? @The-red-centaur even if its to ask if you could go into a private room to talk to a phone counsellor ie lifeline?

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

The nurse is useless. Lifeline and suicidal call back didn't help. I'm really not strong enough to go on. ...
