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.

Waking up to no meaning
I stare at the ceiling
Count the imperfections that
Surround my being

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

I blame myself for everything
I fought so hard not to drown
I held up the walls, you pulled the strings
And now it's all crashing down
So please remind me
Of who I'm supposed to be
'Cause now I'm finding
It's tearing at the seams

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

Hi @The-red-centaur , I'm just new to this forum and am just reading through your posts. I really feel for you - I also have an ED and have been in inpatient and it was one of the most terrifying and traumatic experiences of my life. I hope you have supportive people around you. I also hope your specialists are HAES focussed... The HAES paradigm shift was so enlightening for me. Take care

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@DessertPeaI don't understand the HAES method. Never heard of it before. Sorry.

I'm sorry your experience of inpatient was horrible. It is very hard to go through.


I may be facing the prospect an NG tube soon, things have gone downhill again. I am meant to be discharging in a few weeks ...maybe not now if I continue to drop. I'm waiting for referral to dietician again
