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

maybe you could ask someone if they could bring a colouring/drawing book and pencils and a word search book to do rather then being on your phone. i know theres not much room in hospitals but usually they have a cupboard you can place some items in when not in use.. @The-red-centaur

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

The Drs are talking about home. I can't deal with that thought tbh. I don't know why.

@Bunniekins I'm scared how bad my intakes got but I'm too scared to do anything about it.
