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.

Weigh-in is so stressful. I wanna cry. I didn't lose enough. I know it's my stupid fault for eating.

Hey @The-red-centaur
You've got lots going on and it's understandable that you want a bit of relief – I wonder if listening to some music or doing something else that you enjoy can give you the break that you're looking for?
The forum community is here with you.
Take care

Hi @The-red-centaur
It's important to tell one of the nurses there if you think that you're having a hypo. Please tell someone there so that you can get some help with managing it.
