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.

I hope you can get your medications down so you can start to get better too.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

maybe try something distracting @The-red-centaur like a game on your phone such as a word search or a colouring in app to try and focus somewhere else rather then your thoughts
