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.

Hi @The-red-centaur

It is good to hear that you did not have a hypo last night. But I am concerned to read that you are feeling so low at the moment. Are you able to use your management plan and keep yourself safe?

take care

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@The-red-centaur i would speak with the nurses about what youve written here like wanting to sh and just needing someone to listen. That your going stir crazy in hospital which i really dont blame you.
I hope being this late they will be able to take the time to sit and listen and hopefully share some suggestions.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@outlander the nurses have 2-3 times patient load at night. When I tried to tell nurse I wanted to talk to someone at handover he said I should just go to sleep.


Now I kinda wanna tell them I'm suicidal and been self harming but I'm scared he'll just treat me like shit.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

Can u speak with another nurse?or perhaps try to sleep and see how you go tomorrow with another nurse
Maybe chatting to lifeline on webchat would work? @The-red-centaur

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@outlander I told the nurse and he actually responded well in the end. I even handed over what I was using to hurt myself.



@Bunniekins I've decided if my ED is still bad when I leave rehab I'm gonna see if u can get into ED treatment. It's been a very long time since I've needed that and I'm so scared but I can't keep living like this. I don't want to be sick fir the rest of my life. I want recovery back. I've been there before I can get there again.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

As far as I can see there's no public specialised ED units (across Australia) for people over 18 unless you're in a secure psych unit.....I can't eat here how am I supposed to go outpatient.
