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.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

Hey @The-red-centaur can you ask to see an ED therapist or a dietitian through a hospital.
I'm seeing a dietitian at a hospital for my ED. and I'm positive if I was really bad he would get me admitted.
Whst about the butterfly foundation? Have you tried them? they have been a great help to me. I emailed them and they replied with great support. They even put me in touch with a psychologist specialised in ED in my area but I already have one.
im glad the nurse helped you during the night.
pls seek out help. I'm sure they're will be someone to help you. It's not easy I know but stick at it. You will get there. You are strong.
pls take care
❤️❤️

@BlueBay I think I need specified inpatient treatment tbh. I'm trying to get treatment in this hospital while I'm here but there's is nothing. I'm getting sick and they've threatened intervention like a NG tube before.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@BlueBay it's not happening anymore. I've asked to be transferred hospital this morning. But that won't happen at least til mid Jan after next surgery.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

A hospital transfer isn't possible. The Dr also just yelled at me about my eating and said I had to double my cal intake. F that I can barely get through what they force in me now.
