Something’s not right

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.

Hey there @The-red-centaur Thank you for letting us know how you are. The recovery journey can be really painful sometimes when we feel that amount of heaviness, you showed epic amounts of strength and resilience reaching out to the services last night. Hopefully you are able to get some rest and listen to some music today.

Hi @The-red-centaur
I'm really sorry that things are feeling so difficult right now – starting rehab sounds like it might be hard work but it's great that you're getting started. I'm going to email you in a moment to continue this conversation as I want to check in with you about your safety.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

I'm in so much pain tonight...😢 I wish I had just died the 11 weeks ago. I'm not gonna do what I did last night tho, I'm not actively suicidal, life is just really post the attempt. I can't deal with my stupid legs.
